This is the first read so far where I can honestly say that this book changed my life. Extremely thought-provoking. Reminds me of my undergraduate days when topics such as these were discussed well into the wee hours of the morning. I will purchase this book for both my sons who, like myself, took/are taking philosophy courses at university. By some coincidence, my husband, a scientist, and I recently had a huge discussion (ok, heated argument) about whether or not robots could be said to be conscious. So this was a very timely topic for me. And as a bonus, Jay Ingram has no problem writing science for non-science people. A page-turner. Also a perfect non-fiction pick for a book club. I truly think this book is best experienced when it can be discussed amongst readers. Really hoping to get some comments from fellow readers on this one!
