Shadows of the Mind
Penrose’s “Shadows of the Mind” is a mind-bending journey into consciousness and artificial intelligence. With his trademark blend of physics and philosophy, Penrose challenges conventional wisdom, arguing that the human mind transcends mere computation. His prose, while dense at times, sparkles with insight. I found myself pausing often, mulling over his provocative ideas. Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, this book will leave you questioning the nature of thought itself.
