Critics Review
In Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness, Patrick House explores intensely interesting, beautifully provocative ideas about the neurobiology of consciousness. In addition to being an intellectual pleasure, this is an aesthetic one as well - House writes like a dream, with great drollness and elegance of phrase. This book is a gem. * Robert Sapolsky, author of Behave and MacArthur Fellowship winner *
A highly unusual but brilliant book…with a distinct voice that is fiercely unique. * Christof Koch, president and chief scientist, Allen Institute for Brain Science *
Intriguing … impressively rich. This is bursting with insight. * Publishers Weekly *
