This is one of my favorite books and it's fun to read for anyone interested in the AI consciousness debate. https://hpmorpodcast.com/blindsided-00-announcement/ is a podcast that read the book last year. And https://blindsight.space/ is a Watts' approved website that has a short film/movie trailer for the book.

His Rifters books are great as well. Honestly I've never read anything from Watts that I didn't really like.

If you haven't read the book, beware of spoiler warnings in this thread! It's pretty important in this case.
