Overview
A BOLD REFRAMING OF ONE OF SCIENCE’S BIGGEST MYSTERIES
Drawing on conversations with some of the world's leading scientists and philosophers, Annaka Harris takes readers to the frontier of mind and reality, challenging the dominant assumption that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain, and exploring the radical possibility that it is fundamental to the universe itself.
The atoms that make up our bodies have existed for billions of years – but at some point, they began to feel and to experience. Why?
Annaka Harris takes on one of the deepest unanswered questions in science: how matter becomes conscious. For decades, scientists have assumed that consciousness emerges from complex brain activity. But what if that assumption is wrong?
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, physics, and philosophy, and on intimate conversations with leading thinkers including Brian Greene, David Eagleman, Anil Seth, and Carlo Rovelli, Harris explores a provocative alternative: that consciousness may be a fundamental feature underlying everything in our universe, like gravity or spacetime. Once considered fringe, this idea is now quietly gaining traction among leading thinkers.
Blending personal narrative with rigorous inquiry, Harris guides readers through the implications of this shift – from how we understand animal minds and artificial intelligence, to what it means for free will and how this idea might radically change how we think about the structure of the universe itself.
This is a book for anyone who has ever wondered not just how the world works – but why it feels like anything at all to be here.
