More about the book

Exploring the evolutionary history of consciousness, the author investigates the nature of sentience beyond humans, questioning whether other animals or future machines can experience it. Through a blend of intellectual adventure and scientific inquiry, he shares insights from his research on blindsight in monkeys and social intelligence. His aim is to unravel the "hard problem" of phenomenal consciousness, proposing it as a sophisticated evolutionary advancement with significant implications for understanding sentience in nonhuman beings.
