Consciousness - Where Did It Come From and Where Is It Going?
Ylia Callan
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Consciousness - Where Did It Come From and Where Is It Going? is a journey into one of the deepest mysteries of existence: the nature of awareness itself. From the science of the brain to the frontiers of cosmology, this audiobook explores theories, perspectives and possibilities about what consciousness is, how it evolved and where it might be heading.
Beginning with the fundamental question - what is consciousness? The book introduces the leading scientific models, including Integrated Information Theory, Global Workspace Theory and Higher-Order Thought. It then moves beyond neuroscience to consider the role of dreams, time, memory, the body-mind connection, and even the quantum realm. Along the way, it asks whether consciousness is a byproduct of the brain, an emergent property of life, or a universal principle woven into the cosmos.
The listener is guided through evolutionary insights, philosophical debates and spiritual reflections that culminate in a bold question: could consciousness itself be evolving, expanding, and moving toward a universal mind?
This is an audiobook for anyone curious about the enigma of awareness, scientists, philosophers, seekers, and dreamers alike.
