Publisher's Summary

God's Debris isn't a conventional book. It is written on three separate levels by Scott Adams, better known as the creator of the Dilbert comic. What is less known about Adams is that he's a trained hypnotist.

God's Debris is what happens when creativity and hypnosis intersect. On the surface, God's Debris is a simple fictional story of a delivery man who encounters an Avatar who knows literally everything. The Avatar reveals the truth about God, reality, science, probability, human perception, and even social success. Adams uses a writing trick to make the Avatar's answers appear more persuasive than they should be.

The second level of the book involves arguing with your friends about what parts the Avatar got wrong. Some of what the Avatar says is consistent with science, and some of it is pure fiction. See if you can tell which is which. You and your friends will come to very different conclusions.The third level of the book is the most provocative, but it won't have the same effect on all listeners. The story is designed as a very subtle hypnotic induction, with the intent of giving some (but not all) listeners the sensation that the Avatar's words actually contain the wisdom of the universe.

For some listeners, especially those under 30, God's Debris can be a mind altering experience. Fair Warning: Because of the hypnotic writing style, listeners tend to have strong reactions to the work. If you are in the top 5% of the population in terms of scientific knowledge, or philosophical reading, there's a good chance you will have an angry reaction to God's Debris. But if you are more of a seeker than a know-it-all, your experience could be something special.

A fun and thought provoking listen

As a big fan of Scott's more recent stuff it was great to discover his earlier work and I enjoyed it very much.

Scott Adams convinced me to buy this book years back!

Having read much Scott lends his name to, I guess I liked this before starting.

I grew up a religious tourist and recall similar discussions with significant peers.

The repetition of a few statements was annoying. I guess this is the hypnotic techniques. But Tarantino did the same with the start / end on pulp fiction!

Comparing to the book, I’m unsure which I prefer. I would read the book again, but once was just right to listening.

A story that once would've been thought provoking

It was good that it was short as any longer and it wouldn't have been enjoyable. And while the concept of reality presented is interesting, it's nothing the seeker likely hasn't heard before, though they'll probably appreciate this mid level metaphysical perspective.

It's definitely a must for any Scott Adams fan, especially if you're curious about the red plaid blanket he has draped over the chair he sits in during his morning live-streams. But Scott himself now leans toward a Simulation Theory model of reality. So I guess this can be viewed as both a history of his thought processes has been and possibly a base upon which the views he now holds have built upon.

But I wouldn't want to attempt to read anyone's mind here 🙃

Enjoy
