    This is one of my favorite books and it&#x27;s fun to read for anyone interested in the AI consciousness debate. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hpmorpodcast.com&#x2F;blindsided-00-announcement&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hpmorpodcast.com&#x2F;blindsided-00-announcement&#x2F; is a podcast that read the book last year. And <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blindsight.space&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blindsight.space&#x2F; is a Watts&#x27; approved website that has a short film&#x2F;movie trailer for the book.

      Imo Greg Egan&#x27;s Permutation City is a far more interesting exploration of consciousness.

        In general, I can recommend every book by Greg Egan. Especially Incandescence, which really struck me as a great piece of hard sci-fi.
