Listening to the audiobook is an immersive, if exhausting, experience. Icke narrates with the urgency of a man trying to wake a sleepwalker standing on a ledge. He posits that what we call "reality" is a holographic internet, and that the human body is merely a biological computer interface.
To review The Trap objectively is a paradox. If you approach it with a materialist worldview, it is a masterpiece of paranoid fiction, a towering edifice of confirmation bias built on the foundations of The Truman Show and Gnosticism.
