"Una delle opere più importanti... del ventesimo secolo" The Times Shadows of the Mind è un'esplorazione approfondita di ciò che la fisica moderna ha da dirci sulla mente umana. Una descrizione visionaria di come potrebbe apparire una nuova fisica, adeguata a spiegare il nostro straordinario cervello. È anche un'audace speculazione sul processo biologico che rende la coscienza ciò che è. In questo libro illuminante Penrose fornisce potenti argomenti a sostegno della sua conclusione che c'è qualcosa nell'attività cosciente del cervello che trascende il calcolo, qualcosa che non può essere spiegato dalla scienza odierna.
