SCIENCE AND FICTION CONSCIOUSNESS AND SCIENCE...

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.
