@22111, I strongly recommend that you read Peter Watts’ extraordinary science-fiction series “Firefall” (the UK book includes both novels in one, in fact), which is an exploration of different models of mind and consciousness. He’s a former biochemist and one of those ridiculously intelligent people (like Neal Stephenson) who penetrate to the heart of things.

The novels are full of endnotes, too, backing up the very extensive research he did into psychophysiology (not to mention chemistry, physics, astronomy etc.), and explaining where he’s taken huge liberties or added significant layers of theoretical musing onto the current state of the art.

I think you’d love it!
