Had an interesting conversation on the science of consciousness a while back and realized there is a lot I don’t know.
Can anyone recommend a recent book that covers the overall basics, such as the different theories (like antenna/etc) and physics overlaps?
My only requirement is scientific references. I dont want or need cited peer reviewed papers, but I don’t want an author’s sole opinion, either.


I Am a Strange Loop by Douglas Hofstadter
And “Gödel Escher Bach”, also by Hofstadter, which is basically the foreword to Strange Loop.
