Book Description

In this absorbing and frequently contentious book, eminent physicist Roger Penrose puts forward his view that there are some facets of human thinking that can never be emulated by a machine. He takes the reader on a dazzling tour of the physics of consciousness as he examines what physics and mathematics can tell us about how the mind works, what they can't, and what we need to know to understand the physical processes of consciousness.
