What does it mean to think?
And does thinking require consciousness at all?
This book poses a simple, yet profound question:
If artificial systems can think without experiencing anything - what, then, is human consciousness?
In clear, reduced language, a new perspective unfolds on thinking, perception, and meaning. Chapter by chapter, a picture emerges of the mind not as an origin, but as part of a system.
Artificial intelligence is not presented here as a vision of the future, but as a mirror.
A mirror that reveals what takes place in the background of our own thinking.
Without final answers.
Without simplification.
A book about what we are -
and about what we may never fully understand.
