The working title of my upcoming podcast documentary series is:
“LIGHTS ON: My Search for a Theory of Consciousness.”
Recent and upcoming interviews include Lee Smolin, Christof Koch, Patrick House, Sue Blackmore, Anil Seth, George Musser, Carlo Rovelli, and Jessica Flack.
(And we’re starting to play around with design ideas for the cover art—exciting!)

I’m proud to share a discussion of my book by the wonderful Maria Popova on her “Brain Pickings” blog!
I spoke with Scott about why I wrote CONSCIOUS, the hard problem, the function of consciousness, free will, and other topics.
