A review by cinchona
Consciousness Explained by Daniel C. Dennett

5.0

This is probably my favorite non-fiction book that I have ever read. I read it for the first time when I was 15 or so, and have probably read it a dozen times since. When I was a dumb highschooler with a passing interest in science who loved pop science books? Loved it. When I was getting my degree in computational neuroscience and looking for pioneers in the field? Loved it. Now, with a glass of red wine and a desire to wax philosophical with my friends? Love it.

In fact, I like it so much that I can scarcely tell whether it is really the best book ever, or whether Daniel C. Dennett's mind is organized so much like my own that it is just the best book ever...for me. And then I read it again and I DON'T EVEN CARE. Fifteen thousand stars.
