In a on the in future we are, you might well have a new virtual body, the virtual dog. There's potential for this to be distopian, but it could also be wonderful. And if corporations have their way, then they're going to become all the more part of our lives.

We spend more time in digital, virtual spaces than ever. But are those places really real? If they are, does that mean we could be living in virtual reality right now? Or does it even make sense to ask such a question? Philosopher David Chalmers joins Adam to talk about consciousness, the nature of reality, and the limits of digital technology.
