As concise and enlightening as Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, this mind-expanding dive into the mystery of consciousness is an illuminating meditation on the self, free will, and felt experience.
What is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist? We take our experience of being in the world for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are we able to think about this? And why should we?
In this wonderfully accessible book, Annaka Harris guides us through the evolving definitions, philosophies, and scientific findings that probe our limited understanding of consciousness. Where does it reside, and what gives rise to it? Could it be an illusion, or a universal property of all matter? As we try to understand consciousness, we must grapple with how to define it and, in the age of artificial intelligence, who or what might possess it.
Conscious offers lively and challenging arguments that alter our ideas about consciousness--allowing us to think freely about it for ourselves, if indeed we can.

又一本關於意識的書,很短,隻有兩個小時而已。其實很多內容和Hoffman的書有重疊,但是寫得簡練精確,可見作者確實是下瞭功夫提煉文字,我覺得大概看書會更好,因為比浮光掠影地聽書更能欣賞邏輯與文字的起承轉閤。大概會去買一本,有時間的時候慢慢琢磨。

评分An exposition on the very difficult subject that is easy to read, written a little too informally perhaps. More depth on the covered topics might have rendered it a more satisfying study. 4.5 *.
