Phantoms in the Brain: Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind / V.S. Ramachandran and Sandra Blakeslee.
I agree with the foreword, "deeply serious but beautifully readable." What's better than that, for one thing? What strikes me if that we sometimes feel at all complete and like "a person" rather than a host of inputs/outputs (note that I say "sometimes"). I think what fasinates me most (today) is the ghost in the machine, or the "zombie" that records things without me "knowing." I wonder what my zombies will do today?
