so-soFor the most part, a pleasantly scattered approach.
Speculation, hedging and hey, look what nifty thing this cephalopod can do! Then discussing current knowledge on consciousness in humans, which, okay, but not what I was reading it for? Then back to that thing the octopus or cephalopod did and an associated theory. 1/2

pickBought this book for a friend who passed through town today but I couldn‘t see because I was working. A fascinating look at the consciousness of a very odd creature. More alien than most.

I'm not sure, but this is either the first book that got me into this area or one of the first. It's a fascinating look at the octopus, and Peter quickly became an auto-buy author for me.
Meredith from Book Interrupted recommends this book and dreams of an octopus hug too. Check out her thoughts on this weeks Manuscript Monday here: https://www.bookinterrupted.com/post/manuscript-monday-the-soul-of-an-octopus
