स्टीफ़न हॉकिंग की वैश्विक स्तर की बेस्टसेलर पुस्तक अ ब्रीफ़ हिस्ट्री ऑफ़ टाइम वैज्ञानिक लेखन के सन्दर्भ में एक ऐतिहासिक महत्त्व की पुस्तक थी। इसकी एक वजह इसके लेखक की प्रभावी अभिव्यक्ति थी, और दूसरी वजह वे सम्मोहक विषय हैं जिनके बारे में वह बात करते हैं : देश और काल की प्रकृति, सृष्टि की प्रक्रिया में ईश्वर की भूमिका, ब्रह्माण्ड का इतिहास और भविष्य। लेकिन यह भी सही है कि उस पुस्तक के प्रकाशन के बाद पाठक लगातार प्रोफ़ेसर हॉकिंग से पुस्तक की कुछ अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण अवधारणाओं को समझने में पेश आने वाली मुश्किलों की बात करते रहे थे।

STOP TREATING REALITY LIKE A RENDER. START TREATING IT LIKE A RECORD. The modern mind has found its final hiding place: The Simulation. Faced with the mathematical impossibility of a self-creating universe, the technocracy has retreated into a digital gnosticism. They claim we are code. They claim reality is a render.
