然后我是我自己：意识是什么以及如何扩大它

"Deeply personal and infinitely digestible, Then I Am Myself the World is a remarkable must-read for anyone interested in knowing their mind.”―Judson Brewer MD, PhD, New York Times–bestselling author of Unwinding Anxiety

The world’s leading investigator of consciousness argues that by understanding what consciousness does—cause change in the world—we can understand its origins and its future

In Then I Am Myself the World, Christof Koch explores the only thing we directly experience: consciousness. At the book’s heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change. Koch investigates the physical origins of consciousness in the brain and how this knowledge can be used to measure consciousness in natural and artificial systems.

Enabled by such tools, Koch reveals when and where consciousness exists, and uses that knowledge to confront major social and scientific questions: When does a fetus first become self-aware? Can psychedelic and mystical experiences transform lives? What happens to consciousness in near-death experiences? Why will generative AI ultimately be able to do the very thing we can do, yet never feel any of it? And do our experiences reveal a single, objective reality?

This is an essential book for anyone who seeks to understand ourselves and the future we are creating.

“深具个人色彩且易于消化，《我是我自己》是一本值得一读再三的书，任何对了解自己的人。”——《纽约时报》畅销作者、医学博士兼哲学家Judson Brewer 意识领域的世界领袖认为，通过理解意识所做的—即改变世界—我们可以了解其起源和未来。 在《我是我自己》这本书中，Christof Koch 探索了我们唯一可以直接体验的东西：意识。全书的核心是整合信息理论，这一观点认为意识的本质在于能够对自身施加因果影响，从而成为变革的主体。Koch 深入研究了大脑中的物理根源，并利用这些知识来测量自然和人造系统中的意识。 借助这些工具，Koch 揭示了意识存在的时机和地点，并用这种知识来应对重大社会与科学问题：胎儿首次变得自我意识的时间是什么时候？迷幻剂和神秘体验能否改变人生？濒死体验中意识发生了什么变化？生成式AI将最终能够做我们能做的事，却永远无法感受其中的任何东西？我们的经验是否揭示了单一且客观的现实？ 这本书对于希望了解自己以及塑造我们未来的任何人来说都是不可或缺的一本书。
