The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness

For 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. What I learned from this book is I want to read more about cephalopods, perhaps from a more purely scientific, rather than philosophical framework. Did love finding out how cuttlefish's colouration works, even if the community is still a little fuzzy on the why's.
