This is a pretty deep book about the nature of consciousness. I sometimes found it hard to tell if what I was hearing was profound or obvious. I still don't understand the central analogy with a tunnel: what specific properties of a tunnel map to specific properties of consciousness? I may have missed it, but I don't think this mapping was made explicit. I don't think I made much progress on my first reading, but this book is definitely good food for thought and I may want to give it a second read at some point.
