The Inquiry

What This Book Examines

What if the world you experience is not reality itself, but a constructed interface?

In GENERATED, Robert Srinivas examines the possibility that perception does not reveal the universe as it truly is. Instead, it delivers a simplified, usable model—shaped by evolution, constrained by biology, and optimized for survival rather than truth.

Drawing on neuroscience, physics, evolutionary theory, and philosophy of mind, the book asks how consciousness arises, why the universe appears structured the way it does, and what—if anything—remains meaningful if reality is fundamentally generated.

This is not a book of conclusions. It is a disciplined inquiry into the foundations beneath experience.

GENERATED is available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Google Play, Kobo, and through independent bookstores and libraries worldwide.
