The Simulation Theory of Consciousness by Donald Firesmith




I've spent over 40 years developing large, complex, software-intensive systems and have been named a distinguished engineer by the Association of Computing Machinery. I've also been greatly interested in consciousness (subjective awareness) and an avid reader of related books ever since introduced to the topic in a college philosophy course. This book is the distillation of my thoughts of both what consciousness is and how it is produced by both living and artificial systems.
