ARC Readers Requested – Serious Nonfiction

I’m seeking advance readers for It From Us, a nonfiction book presenting an information-first framework for understanding reality, consciousness, and meaning.

The book argues that information—not matter—is the most fundamental feature of reality, and that physical systems, biological life, and conscious experience emerge from deeper informational relationships. It is written for science-literate, curious readers interested in physics, consciousness studies, systems theory, and philosophy of mind, without drifting into mysticism, self-help, or speculative metaphysics.

ARC readers will receive a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review at or near launch (February 20, 2026).

Thoughtful, critical engagement is welcome; positive reviews are appreciated but not required.

Format: Ebook
Genre: Nonfiction / Science & Philosophy
Pages: 312
Release: Amazon Kindle
Review Requested: Amazon, Goodreads

If you enjoy clear, idea-driven nonfiction that challenges assumptions while remaining grounded, you may be a good fit for this ARC.

Thank you for considering.

To contact me about this please email itfromus.book@gmail.com.

If possible please provide a link to any reviews you have provided forother nonfiction titles.

Dear Ryan,

Many thanks for introducing It from Us :) Congratulations with getting your book published! Sounds like you would have done plenty of research in order to create it.

As there are quite a few books on this subject on the market, I'd be curious to know what is unique about your work?

Could you summarise its essence in just a few words, and also, what makes you an expert?

Many thanks :)

For more than a century, physics has revealed cracks in the matter-first worldview. Quantum mechanics, black holes, and cosmology all suggest that our familiar universe of particles and forces is not the whole story. Meanwhile, biology, culture, and consciousness hint at patterns of coherence that resist reduction to atoms and equations.

It From Us - An Information-first Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness, a new book by author Ryan Kralik offers a bold new framework: information is the substrate of reality. Matter and mind both emerge from the same underlying code. Coherence — not chance — is the force that draws particles into atoms, atoms into stars, people into cultures, and cultures into civilizations.

Across physics, biology, religion, ethics, technology, and culture, It From Us traces the same thread: persistence through information. From ancient monuments and myths to modern AI and neuroscience, the evidence points toward a universe that writes itself forward by preserving what coheres.

Ryan Kralik is a writer and communications strategist with over twenty-five years of experience in media, marketing and narrative development. For more than two decades, his research has explored the intersections of physics, anomalies, civilization and culture—asking how these domains align to shape the human story.

Trained in remote viewing and deeply engaged with both the scientific and scholarly community, his work bridges empirical investigation with the study of meaning. He has written for publications including Ancient Origins and Greek Reporter, and Aperture Magazine, and has appeared on podcasts discussing the Information-First framework and the evolution of human understanding with a focus on how story and narrative drive behavior, identity, and civilization’s larger arc toward coherence.

Thank you Ryan- your credentials sound impressive and your point of view is interesting :))

I wish you lots of curious readers!
