Had an interesting conversation on the science of consciousness a while back and realized there is a lot I don’t know.

Can anyone recommend a recent book that covers the overall basics, such as the different theories (like antenna/etc) and physics overlaps?

My only requirement is scientific references. I dont want or need cited peer reviewed papers, but I don’t want an author’s sole opinion, either.

    Consciousness: a Very Short Introduction.

    I can’t vouch for that particular book, but the VSI series is usually a good bet.

      So far this one seems on top for me. Most of the others (apart from Huxley which is very old) are people proposing their theories, vs an overview.
