The book is a popular discussion of different kinds of illusion from the perspectives of philosophy, cognitive science, and Buddhist thought. The book discusses examples of illusion (magical tricks, dreams, rainbows, reflections in a mirror) by following a famous Tibetan list of `twelve examples of illusion' from an 18th-century Buddhist encyclopedia.
