Unlocking Consciousness

Coming April 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.

EARLY PRAISE FOR UNLOCKING CONSCIOUSNESS

“A thrilling challenge to everything we think we know about mind and matter. Harris is rigorous in the science, elegant in the telling, and astonishing in her implications.”

—DAVID EAGLEMAN, NEUROSCEINTIST AT STANFORD, AUTHOR OF LIVEWIRED AND INCOGNITO

“Harris provides a lucid, thoughtful tour through the ancient question: What is consciousness? Tackling the problem from the multiple viewpoints of physics, neuroscience, philosophy and her own journey through the vital issue, Harris not only offers a cogent account of current thinking on the subject but also elaborates how a solution could force science to re-evaluate its own foundations. This book is an important read for anyone interested in the urgent need to understand the nature of consciousness.”
