In the top ten books I've read this year. Such a fast journey through so many different topics.

Just a bulleted list of enjoyable stops on this journey:

- pansychism
- consciousness as merely observation of events
- double slit experiment
- behavior vs sentience
- split brain syndrome
- zombie rats
- locked-in syndrome
- lots of citations
- some healthy skepticism


My one nitpick is I wish the author took some time to distinguish the word "sentience" from "consciousness" - but definition 1 here (consciousness) is satisfying follow-up and explains why maybe she ignored the word sentience: philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/4687
