Title: Good stuff
Review: This book sparked my interest because I am one who also wonders about the mind's relation to the physical world. Penrose believes that the physical mechanism behind consciousness underlies new physics relating to quantum mechanics. He also believes that this new theory is not computable or programmable. This book is meant for general audience, no physics background needed. In fact the conceptual physics are actually explained well by Penrose. So if your curious, or an actual mathematician/physicist attempting to understand consciousness this is a good book to get some interesting ideas from. Its not polished out, the writing is in lecture style, but I like this, it gives a better down to earth feeling. You basically get Penrose telling you his thoughts without much editing.
Is the review positive or negative?
