Simulation Theory: Technology, Sci-Fi, Religion, and Philosophy
Who: All Interested in Technology and Its Future Impact on Society
What: Simulation Theory (FSE 494, FSE 598, FIS 494, HSD 598) will be taught by Rizwan Virk, author of the bestselling book, The Simulation Hypothesis. Today as the idea of virtual environments gains popularity through video games, virtual reality, Artificial Intelligence, and the Metaverse, it’s natural to speculate about where it will all end up. The newly emerging field of simulation theory explores an idea that is being articulated by scientists, philosophers, theologists, and more: that we live inside a simulated reality. Topics covered include the modern simulation argument, representations of virtual worlds in science fiction, the evolution and future of video games, the Metaverse and AI, and the intersection of simulation theory with western and eastern religions, as well as western philosophical ideas about the nature of reality.
When + Where: Tuesdays from Noon to 1:15 pm, on Tempe Campus or Online via Zoom
For questions on this course, please email Rizwan Virk, rvirk1@asu.edu, or Jason Bronowitz, jbronowi@asu.edu
