An Idealist View of Life by S Radhakrishnan

Looking for an escape from reality? Then look no further

Escape from Virtual Island is an epic comedy adventure starring Paul Rudd, written by John Lutz of Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and 30 Rock, and produced by Broadway Video.

Rounding out the ensemble cast in this genre-hopping, madcap comedy are Emmy nominee Jack McBrayer, Wine Country and AP Bio's Paula Pell, Late Night with Seth Meyers' Amber Ruffin, and 30 Rock's Scott Adsit.

The Audible Original also features the voice talents of Jason Sudeikis, Jane Krakowski, Olivia Wilde, Kenan Thompson, Seth Meyers, Rachel Dratch, Henry Winkler, and a host of other comedy favorites.

About the story:

In the year 2038, there's only one destination that can play host to the world's wealthiest adventure seekers: the Pengalaman Island Resort and Virtual Reality Theme Park. Located on a private South Pacific island, guests here live out their wildest fantasies in custom-made virtual reality simulations while also enjoying the usual amenities of an exclusive five-star getaway.

All is relatively breezy until famed billionaire and avid guest, Mr. Wagner (Sudeikis), goes missing within a virtual simulation. His only hope? A daring rescue led by Derek Ambrose (Rudd), the maladjusted heir to his mother's resort empire, and his ragtag search party consisting of Faith (Ruffin), a tech-nerd extraordinaire (and naturally, his ex); Ramona Kurtz (Pell), the foul-mouthed head of island security; and Beasley (McBrayer), the resort's lead concierge and Ambrose family confidant.

What ensues is a high-octane, comedy throwback filled with memorable performances throughout, and a reminder that real life can be the ultimate experience if you're just willing to open your heart and dive in headfirst.

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (1888-1975) was an Indian philosopher and statesman who served as the president of India from 1962 to 1967 and as the nation's first vice president from 1952 to 1962. Prior to his political career, he was the chairman of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). An educator by profession, he held many university positions in India and also at the University of Oxford in England (1936-1952). As one of India's most distinguished twentieth-century scholars of comparative religion and philosophy, he was influential in shaping the understanding of Hinduism, in both India and the West. He was awarded the Templeton Prize posthumously.

Radhakrishnan's other published works include Indian Philosophy (1923-27), The Philosophy of the Upanishads (1924), An Idealist View of Life (1932), Eastern Religions and Western Thought (1939), and East and West: Some Reflections (1955).
