How it is that we share some aspects of consciousness with bacteria? How can consciousness arise in artificial machines? And what does consciousness have to do with our survival in the face of the unfolding climate catastrophe? These, and many other fundamental questions about consciousness are explored in Cornell professor of psychology Shimon Edelman’s new book “The Consciousness Revolutions: From Amoeba Awareness to Human Emancipation” (Springer Nature, 2023).
