Joli, a multidisciplinary artist, bestselling author, techno-philosopher, content creator, and hostess of the popular podcasts Your One Black Friend and The Dark Oracle's Guide to the Multiverse, delves into contemporary philosophy, determinism, theoretical physics, and the Simulation Hypothesis in her thought-provoking content. Her mind-expanding videos have garnered tens of millions of views across social media platforms, and they have been featured in renowned publications such as MSN News, Yahoo News, The Daily Mail UK, Lad Bible, India Times, WELT.de, The Mirror, and more.

So You're Living In A Simulation: Handbook For The Recently Sentient is a collection of transcripts from over 100 of Joli's videos, expanded into insightful essays guaranteed* to transform the reader's perception of reality. These essays challenge preconceived assumptions about consciousness, death, fate, free will, parallel universes, and the nature of time, taking readers on an unexpected yet refreshing exploration of fresh ideas and classical maxims.

This book delves into profound questions such as: Are we living in an AI-generated simulation? Are we sentient Sims? Can the future influence the past? What would our parallel selves look like? Are there technologically advanced, pre-human civilizations living beneath Earth's surface? Can a time traveller go back in time and change the past without self-destruction? Who are the beings people encounter during Near Death Experiences? And other questions you may not have thought to think about.

If we are indeed living in a computer simulation, then consider this book an icon-an In Game Guide of sorts to navigate the twists and turns of the Game of Life. Joli doesn't claim to have all the answers, but approaching the thought experiments in this book as a literary exercise may help point readers in the right direction, or at the very least leave them exclaiming, I've never thought about it like that before...!

With an entertaining foreword and interjections from Dr. Holly Graham - one of Joli's fictional personas, fan favorite, and some have argued Joli's A.I. alter ego - this book invites readers on an unexpected yet refreshing exploration of the nature of life, the multiverse and everything in between.
