Inhaltsangabe

How and when did human intelligence evolve? Is it possible that consciousness will exist after the body has been rendered obsolete? These are the central questions Darling addresses in this mind-bending journey. Along the way the reader is treated to a stimulating discussion of evolution, the relationship between mathematics and physical reality, the genesis of the right and left brains, God, the meaning of language, and the nature of quantum physics.
Darling argues that human beings are not mere passive observers of the universe - we are active participants in the making of reality. Our organic brains and bodies have perhaps evolved to the fullest degree of their potential, but our consciousness is still evolving. We are on the verge of an "explosion of mind" - not too dissimilar from the Big Bang - in which human consciousness will inherit the universe.
