'In seeking to understand the human condition, we can reach out to particular disciplines. This book is different. Coming from varying traditions, the authors take us on a fascinating journey through mathematics, biology, truth, the mind, brain, human interaction and online gaming. The result is a highly illuminating discussion that will appeal to philosophers and social and physical scientists.' Tim May, University of Salford, UK
