A fascinating look at how science fiction gives us a way to examine different types of consciousness and ideas about our own. I ended up with a bunch of new titles on my TBR list.

An interesting read about science fiction and the limits of cognition. Each chapter is another meditation on a types of sentience, and Shaviro uses sci-fi stores to dig deeper into debates within phenomenology, analytic philosophy and neuroscience. Super neat and super accessible.
