Blindsight by Peter Watts

Written on March 25, 2007

Blindsight by Peter Watts: An interesting SF novel dealing with issues of consciousness, especially questions concerning the costs and benefits of consciousness. The extensive “notes and references” section at the end especially praises Thomas Metzinger’s Being No One: The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity (Bradford Books) (which I haven’t read).

Watts’s website is www.rifters.com.
