Coming Spring 2027…
Annaka Harris takes on one of the deepest unanswered questions in science: how consciousness arises in nature. For decades, scientists have assumed that consciousness emerges from complex brain activity. But what if that assumption is wrong?
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, physics, and philosophy, and on intimate conversations with leading thinkers including Brian Greene, David Eagleman, Anil Seth, and Carlo Rovelli, Harris explores a provocative alternative: that consciousness may be a fundamental property of spacetime. Once considered fringe, this idea is now gaining traction among leading thinkers.
Harris takes readers to the frontier of mind and reality, challenging the dominant neuroscientific assumptions about consciousness, and exploring the radical possibility that it is intrinsic to the universe itself.
