Modern life often feels strangely artificial—hyperconnected yet lonely, information-rich yet disorienting. Breaking the Simulation examines the hidden social and psychological systems that shape this experience. Through narrative, historical analysis, and behavioral research, W. Peter Howell explores how fear, identity performance, and isolation interact to form a kind of “simulation” that governs modern life. By revisiting ancient frameworks for community, rest, and shared responsibility, the book asks whether a more grounded way of living remains possible.
