Conscious: A Brief Guide to the Fundamental Mystery of the Mind

A nice, brief overview of consciousness: The problems, the theories, and a tiny bit history. It spends pleasantly little time with blown-up examples and filler content and makes a (to me) surprisingly good case for versions of (post-)panpsychism which I did not anticipate updating towards. Sadly too much focus on the said case and the book glances over other well-developed theories and views: One mention of qualia eliminativism, two-three sentences on Integrated Information Theory, no mention of Global Workspace Theory; you see what I mean. Should've had panpsychism in the title, really. But I see why this would kill the sales, so I'm sympathetic.
Nonetheless, 3.5 stars since I really liked the format, style and overview.
