El 24 de octubre de 2006 me trasladaron en ambulancia a un hospital, donde una tomografía computarizada reveló que sufría una «disección de la aorta»: el revestimiento del vaso principal que transporta la sangre desde el corazón se había desgarrado, creando un conducto de dos canales en lugar de uno.

I've Been Thinking Philosopher Daniel Dennett describes himself as a pack rat or a magpie - picking up ideas and facts that might be useful from a wide range of sources. His memoir reflects that. He has made connections with researchers in many fields, particularly evolutionary theory, neuroscience and computing and his distinctive philosophical career reflects that.

I used to be a much more conscientious scholar than I am now. I would encounter a journal article or book that was relevant to my interests but forbiddingly technical (or, if the author was a philosopher, just forbiddingly badly written, convoluted, and jargon packed), and I would beat my head against it for hours and hours, running down and checking out all the references—a time-consuming library job in the old days before internet links.

This audiobook narrated by neuroscientist Kevin Mitchell presents an evolutionary case for the existence of free will. Scientists are learning more and more about how brain activity controls behavior and how neural circuits weigh alternatives and initiate actions. As we probe ever deeper into the mechanics of decision making, many conclude that agency—or free will—is an illusion.
