About this listen
An eye-opening exploration of the human mind, where reality is stranger than fiction (written by a neuroscientist).
When UNESCO convenes a diverse team of world-renowned experts in Paris, the goal is audacious: to settle the question of free will once and for all. For the first time ever, the combined knowledge of neuroscientists, cognitive psychologists, philosophers, a physicist, a legal scholar, and an advanced AI may finally crack it. Through a dynamic blend of cutting-edge science, spirited dialogue, unexpected twists and riveting thrills, this audiobook explores the mind, choice, and what it means to be human.
Drawing on solid scientific research, The Unthinkable Truth will make listeners question their own human nature.
"Must read. Incredible ... prepare to have thought provoked."
David Powers, author and professor of computer and cognitive science

Cerebral SciFi With a Twist
If you're into science, thrillers, or just love stories that make you think, you’ll enjoy this book.
The story starts with an interesting premise—a team of experts, guided by AI, trying to unlock the secrets of the human mind. The build-up is pretty engaging, especially for anyone interested in neuroscience, AI, and free will.
The characters are well-drawn, and there’s humor mixed in with the scientific discussions, which helps break up the more intense parts.
What I liked about the book is that it blends real science with an edge-of-your-seat plot that’ll have you hooked from the beginning. It’s one of those rare books where the more you read, the more you question your own life and choices.
In short, it’s a thought-provoking, thrilling read, and well worth your time.

A Thrilling Dive into the Human Mind
As a reader, I found myself both intellectually stimulated and emotionally invested in this genre-defying debut.
George Bennet, a professor of theoretical physics, takes on an assignment from UNESCO to be part of an elite team of experts assisted by a powerful AI. The mission: to unravel the mysteries of the human mind. Initially a distraction from his personal heartache, this academic pursuit soon morphs into a high-stakes thriller as George realizes they might be pawns in a much larger, sinister plan. The novel’s pace is relentless, keeping you on the edge of your seat as the layers of deception peel away to reveal the unthinkable truth.
Bennet's ability to weave real scientific research into the narrative is nothing short of genius. The scientific insights are presented in an accessible manner, making complex concepts understandable without dumbing them down. This balance makes the book not only a thrilling read but also an enlightening one. It truly makes you question the nature of free will and the depths of human consciousness.
