Decoding Reality : The Universe as Quantum Information
For a physicist, all the world is information. The Universe and its workings are the ebb and flow of information.We are all transient patterns of information, passing on the recipe for our basic forms to future generations using a four-letter digital code called DNA.In this engaging and mind-stretching account, Vlatko Vedral considers some of the deepest questions about the Universe and considers the implications of interpreting it in terms of information.He explains the nature of information, the idea of entropy, and the roots of this thinking in thermodynamics.He describes the bizarre effects of quantum behaviour -- effects such as 'entanglement', which Einstein called 'spooky action at a distance', and explores cutting edge work on harnessing quantum effects in hyperfast quantum computers, and how recent evidence suggests that the weirdness of the quantum world, once thought limited to the tiniest scales, may reach into the macro world.Vedral finishes by considering the answer to the ultimate question: where did all of the information in the Universe come from?The answers he considers are exhilarating, drawing upon the work of distinguished physicist John Wheeler.The ideas challenge our concept of the nature of particles, of time, of determinism, and of reality itself. This edition includes a new foreword from the author, reflecting on changes in the world of quantum information since first publication.Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.

From Building Information Modelling to Mixed Reality
This book reports on the latest advances in using BIM modelling to achieve the semantic enrichment of objects, allowing them to be used both as multidimensional databases – as comprehensive sources of information for finalizing various types of documentation in the building industry – and as modelling tools for the construction of virtual environments.Having advanced to a new stage of development, BIM modelling is now being applied in a range of increasingly complex contexts, and for various new purposes.This book examines the role that virtual reality and related technologies such as AI and IoT can play in preserving and disseminating our cultural heritage and built environment.

The Shadow World : Life Between the News Media and Reality
This book looks at the news media's portrayal of reality and seeks answers as to why this portrayal often falls short of reality itself.Jim Willis examines the factors that contribute to the journalist's often faulty perception of reality, factors that are beyond the immediate control of the reporter: errant sources, competitive influences, the embedding process of storytelling, marketing's influence on the news, and the structure of news stories.The book stresses that the reporting process is more difficult than most critics and reporters realize, and points out that the best reporters are those who will take time to recognize challenges and work to overcome them.Ideal as a supplementary text for advanced courses in reporting, The Shadow World focuses on the complexities of good reporting.It studies the challenges that face today's journalist and provides practical guidance for the novice reporter. Studying actual reporting cases, Willis discusses the difference between seeking accuracy and seeking truth in journalism.He examines state-of-the-art methods of good reporting and stresses the need for specializing, remembering the larger truth, treating rumors as rumors, and following appropriate role models.A useful guide discussing the full range of philosophical, theoretical, and practical considerations influencing the reporter, The Shadow World will be a valuable resource for the student of journalism.

Is reality reality?
Reality is often defined as the state of things as they actually exist, rather than as they may appear or might be imagined. However, reality can be subjective and influenced by individual perceptions, beliefs, and experiences. Therefore, what one person perceives as reality may differ from another person's reality. In this sense, reality can be seen as a complex and multifaceted concept that is shaped by various factors.
-
Is reality the reality?

The Information Animal : Humans, Technology and the Competition for Reality
Depending on which news story you read, new tools like artificial intelligence will either save or destroy the world. The threat from emerging technology might seem unprecedented, but our response to it follows a pattern as old as civilisation.From ancient Athens to COVID-19, social media to spam, Alicia Wanless shows how humans have always consumed information, whether accurate or not.It's a familiar tale: first we develop a new technology that changes how information is shared, increasing the availability of content and the speed at which it can travel.Then, as more people engage with this new content, fresh ideas arise, often at odds with prevailing beliefs.Some use the new tools to promote their views, win power or simply profit, adding to the mounting information pollution. Competition and conflict follow. Fearing the worst, we scramble--in vain--to control flows of information and use of the new technology.With democracies around the world lurching from crisis to crisis, knee jerk reactions to information conflict won't suffice.What's needed is an understanding of humans' nature as 'information animals'--of our long-standing relationship with technology, and the ways in which a content saturated world impacts the political battle forhearts and minds.

REALITY
'And we're coming out of dreams/And we're coming back to dreams' is the first thing you hear Bill say as you remake your acquaintance on 'REALITY'. Right out the gate, he's standing in two places at once: meeting up with old friends behind the scenes and encountering them on the record, finding himself coming round the bend and then again as someone else on down the line. Like the character actor he played on 'Gold Record', writing stories about other people, telling jokes about everyone, and in singing them, becoming the songs.

Is reality relative?
Reality is not relative in the sense that it is completely subjective and varies from person to person. There are objective truths and facts that exist independently of individual perspectives. However, individuals may perceive and interpret reality differently based on their experiences, beliefs, and cultural backgrounds.
