This topic is about the June 2025 Philosophy Book of the Month, Anticipation Day: What Would You Do? by Jeff Michelson
In "Anticipation Day", Jeff Michelson imagines a future where immersive simulations allow people to experience an entirely different life. You could escape to a tropical paradise, live a life without your current struggles, or explore a path not taken—all within a few simulated hours that feel like months or even years.
So the question stands, just as the cover of the book asks: What would you do?

What kind of simulation would you choose—and why?
Would you use it for healing, pleasure, exploration, or something else entirely?
