Dennett, Daniel C. <br/><br/>
Consciousness explained 

 - London  Penguin  1993 
 - xiii, 511 p. 
<br/><br/> Daniel C. Dennett's now-classic book blends philosophy, psychology and neuroscience - with the aid of numerous examples and thought-experiments - to explore how consciousness has evolved, and how a modern understanding of the human mind is radically different from conventional explanations of consciousness.<br/><br/>What people think of as the stream of consciousness is not a single, unified sequence, the author argues, but 'multiple drafts' of reality composed by a computer-like 'virtual machine'. Dennett explains how science has exploded the classic mysteries of consciousness: the nature of introspection, the self or ego and its relation to thoughts and sensations, the problems posed by qualia, and the level of consciousness of non-human creatures.<br/><br/>(https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/12906/consciousness-explained-by-daniel-c-dennett-illus-paul-weiner/9780140128673)
