Why we picked this
Pollan's third stop on his consciousness book tour — this time with New Yorker writer Louisa Thomas as interlocutor, in a Cambridge church. A different conversation than the SF or DC dates.
Michael Pollan’s “A World Appears” tackles the hardest question in science: what is consciousness? He brings his signature approach — rigorous research combined with first-person experimentation — to a question that sits at the intersection of neuroscience, philosophy, spirituality, and psychedelic experience.
In conversation with New Yorker staff writer Louisa Thomas at First Parish Church in Cambridge. Presented by Harvard Book Store, which consistently books major authors in venues that suit the conversation better than a standard bookstore.
