About this listen
Are your choices really your own?
An unflinching exploration of the mind, layered with tension — by a neuroscientist.
When UNESCO convenes a team of distinguished experts — scientists, philosophers, and an advanced AI — their mission is as bold as it is fascinating: to uncover the hidden forces behind human choice.
For George Bennet, a mild-mannered physicist still reeling from personal tragedy, the invitation offers both distraction and purpose. But as their inquiry takes an unexpected and dangerous turn, the team uncovers truths that threaten not only their lives but humanity's freedom itself.
Where cutting-edge yet accessible science meets thought-provoking thriller, The Unthinkable Truth explores what it truly means to be human. Its profound and startling conclusion will leave readers questioning their own nature.

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.

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.
