Science fiction explores the wonderful, baffling and wildly
entertaining aspects of a universe unimaginably old and vast, and
with a future even more immense. It reaches into that endless
cosmos with the tools of rational investigation and storytelling.
At the core of both science and science fiction is the engaged
human mind--a consciousness that sees and feels and thinks and
loves. But what is this mind, this aware and self-aware
consciousness that seems unlike anything else we experience? What
makes consciousness the Hard Problem of philosophy, still unsolved
after millennia of probing? This book looks into the heart of this
mystery - at the science and philosophy of consciousness and at
many inspiring fictional examples - and finds strange, challenging
answers. The book's content and entertaining style will appeal
equally to science fiction enthusiasts and scholars, including
cognitive and neuroscientists, as well as philosophers of mind. It
is a refreshing romp through the science and science fiction of
consciousness.
