Memories of Silk and Straw: A self-portrait of small town Japan by Dr. Junicho Saga
I read this book over 20 years ago. Had to dig to remember the title because I only vaguely remembered what the cover looked like. I think you'd find it interesting.

What kind do you like? Fiction… fountainhead by Rand, science fiction… Enders Game, fantasy… Dragonlance Dragons of autumn twilight, motivational… richest man of Babylon, historical… 1491 or 1493, nonfiction… death in the long grass
This one completely changed my view of nothingness. It sounds weird, but it has profound impact on religion, science, and philosophy. Or at least the intersection of those concepts.
Does it talk about consciousness?
It's more about the nature of 'nothing' from a physics perspective. Like how the entire concept is bullshit as most people understand it. It's worth a read if you like science and nature. It isn't a focus, but it's pretty easy to see the philosophical and religious implications. It basically covers the evidence for why the raw fabric of 'nothing' is actually something (and what that something is).
It kind of blew my mind when I sat and thought about it.
It especially changed my understanding of the big bang and some arguments favoring a creator. It removes the requirement of that entire step.
In essence, it's a much simpler explanation of everything than religion is. That's the end result after considering the implications.
Yeah… I don’t buy nothing from something either. Listen to video by Faggin and ordering this book as well: Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human Nature
This guy makes way more sense and there’s a lot of evidence that he’s correct.
Something from nothing *
He isn't arguing that nothing came from something. He's more arguing that something just keeps coming from something and the entire concept of nothing is human fiction because it's counterintuitive in our daily lives. Like buildings don't just pop up, but all they really are is a rearrangement of what was already there. To us, we created it and assume that the earth and us had to be created. It reality, nature just kept rearranging over time and shit happened. That's all we and the earth are. There never was a void to fill. It was always something, and he discusses the evidence for why that is the case.
But read it first
I've got you cover, bro
What kind of books do you like? What genre?
Stole some inspiration from this thread. Lined up my next 2 books - good timing because I had just finished my last one. Already in a few chapters of Island, enjoying it so far.
