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.


The synopsis for this one makes it sound like only the end is about consciousness, and other parts are either about other neural topics or societal standards. Is the synopsis just lopsided?
The whole thing is about consciousness, the chapters are exploring different aspects and queries about it.
edit: exploring, not exploiting
