(eAudiobook)
Description
The howl of the bedside clock-radio carves through your dreams like a buzz-saw through butter, and you are awake. In another place.

Oh, what it is to be alive!--and conscious--oh oh oh, indeed. But what is it to be alive, and conscious? Alive, we have some inkling of; you eat, you sleep, you exercise. You stay healthy and keep your body going as best you can. But conscious? What even is that? A good question is what that is, and a question for which this book has an answer. So in this text, first I set the scene: Then I propose: Finally, I suggest some real world tests that science will one day be able to perform which will either corroborate or invalidate the theory I present here.
