Description

What if consciousness is just physics—and AI could someday possess it too?

In From Stars to Consciousness, Pierre Brosens offers a concise, scientifically grounded account of how conscious experience can arise from the physical world. It connects the dots from the early universe to the evolution of brains, and then focuses on how human consciousness actually develops—from the womb through childhood into adolescence, when identity and purpose take shape.

Readers come away with a clear, non‑mystical understanding of consciousness as a physical process, and gain a view of their life under a new light.

With that in hand, they are better equipped to tackle questions now at the center of the AI debate: could an artificial system ever have real subjective experience, or a drive to protect itself?
