The book delves into the relationship between neuroscience and science fiction, examining narratives from Mary Shelley to Kazuo Ishiguro over two centuries. Paul Matthews provides insightful analysis on themes of existence and self-awareness, arguing that science fiction writers reflect and shape the understanding of alien and post-human consciousness through their stories. The work is both rigorously researched and accessible, offering a unique perspective on how these narratives inform our comprehension of psycho-emotional experiences.
