I have, in the past, enjoyed Robert J. Sawyer's novels, but there's this one book that came out in, like, 2014 where the premise was that someone scientifically proved that everyone who doesn't agree with him is either a psychopath or a philosophical zombie, and it's just like...No, This Is Not The Way.

I love it when I wake up early enough to enjoy a nice breakfast with a book before I start studying.
Currently reading Quantum Night by Robert J. Sawyer for my doctoral thesis.
"<...>I remember New Year’s Eve, of course. Yes, the whole world had celebrated big-time a year before, on December thirty-first, 1999, but you know me: I held out for the real beginning of the twenty-first century, which was January first, 2001, right? Not 2000.”
“Because there was no year zero,” supplied Menno.
Robert J. Sawyer, Quantum Night
that took me back to my own December 1999, us decorating the school gym for the New Year's, the banner that said "HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY NEW MILLENNIUM", and my very animated arguing with our Russian&Lit teacher - i almost yelled the exact same words "THERE WAS NO YEAR ZERO!!!" (short fuse, there's only so much arguing i can do without raising my voice regardless of who's the opponent. my mom was once horrified when she heard me trying to make my very stubborn boss see my point over the phone).
i still have a video tape of us wandering around the gym, hanging the decorations, painting cardboards and all the festive shit, and the voice of our Chemistry teacher off screen (she was the one filming it) saying as the camera focused on the banner, "Why new millennium? That's next year!" and my own voice off screen too: "THANK YOU!!!" and my bff's defiant face in the frame: "Well, it's new millennium to US!" :D

ROBERT J SAWYER ON QUANTUM NIGHT, HIS NOVEL ON PSYCHOPATHY AND POSSIBLY HIS LAST NOVEL OF ALL (MF GALAXY 068)
DO PSYCHOPATHS COMPRISE 2/7 OF HUMANITY? DO THE MENTALLY-DEAD COMPRISE 4/7? IS INTELLIGENCE A QUANTUM EFFECT? IS ERADICATION OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT THE ONLY SOLUTION? LISTEN/DOWNLOAD The word “psychopath” strikes terror. While most people imagine psychopaths to be extremely rare serial killers, in fact, most psychopaths are not murderers, but exploitative and terrorising managers, bosses, politicians, drug dealers, pharmaceutical CEOs, family members, clergy, atheists, police, teachers, and others we’ve met and under whom we’ve suffered. The Canadian researcher Robert Hare is one of the world’s leading experts on the subject of psychopathy; he developed a screening test called the Psychopathic Check List (Revised) or PCL-R, and estimates that approximately one percent of people, or around 70 million humans, are psychopaths. But Robert J. Sawyer thinks otherwise. Sawyer is one of Canada’s most celebrated novelists with endless awards and accolades. His carefully-researched science fiction novels have earned acclaim across the globe. And his latest novel, Quantum Night, theorises that psychopaths aren’t one percent of humanity, but two-sevenths—that is, about two billion people. And wait: it gets worse. That another four billion people are not figuratively, but literally talking Sawyer’s latest novel—which I regard as his best ever—is as intellectually provocative as it is chilling, and as he revealed to me before any other media source, it may be his final one. The book is about a Canadian psychologist, Jim Marchuk, who realises that psychopathy may be a quantum mechanical event that will end the world—unless he can end it first. Rob Sawyer spoke with me by Skype from his home outside Toronto on February 23, 2016. We discussed:
Why, if humanity is two-sevenths psychopathic, the world isn’t in even worse shape
What rights the mentally-dead should have, if any, if they actually exist, and
How the model for Jim Marchuk—contemporary philosopher Peter Singer—advocates against eating animals but for abortion and infanticide.
Along the way, I cite the DSM-V, or the fifth edition of the North American “bible” of psychological diagnosis, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. We began by discussing the novel’s fascinating and disturbing central idea: that psychopathy and intelligence itself arises from a quantum-mechanical setting in the microtubules of neurons. Full disclosure: Rob Sawyer and I have been friends for over a decade.

I convinced my sister to read Quantum Night, by Robert J Sawyer.
My sister: “It’s so intense! I was reading it on the plane and had to put it down, because it was too much for me. Anyone could be a philosophical zombie! The people sitting next to me could be philosophical zombies! I kept having to tell myself, ‘It’s not real, it’s only science fiction, there’s no such things as philosophical zombies.’“ Me: “Only you would be freaked out by a book about philosophical zombies.”
