Description
The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down to Size
This groundbreaking book explores the nature of consciousness, arguing that our perceptions are not direct representations of the world, but rather illusions our brains craft to process information.
Through a combination of psychology, evolutionary biology, and information theory, Tor Norretranders presents a revolutionary point: that consciousness represents only an infinitesimal fraction of our ability to process information.
