#discognition

At the end of the road we found a garden where we could hide and be free. To love one another in the Garden Of The Gods, free from any doubts.

My new book, Discognition, looks at science fiction in order to think about questions of consciousness. Each of us knows that he or she is conscious; and most of us take it for granted that not only human beings are conscious, but animals like dogs and cats are as well. But how far downwards does consciousness go? Are lobsters conscious? Are trees? Are bacteria? 

I am immensely thankful that Gabi took these pictures - the proof of the things that happen behind our back, below, beyond our level of consciousness, every day, every second. We perceive them only dimly, or at other levels, beneath the raster of reality.
