   Oct 3, 2006 · A grim yet psychedelic book which probably earns Watts place as the new James W. Campbell. A dystopia and a first contact story bent into odd shapes like a bristling metal sculpture. Disturbingly, as hallucinatory as most sections of this book are, Watts seemed to have scientific rational for most of it.

   Blindsight by Peter Watts.

   Does Peter Watts think humans will be in the future?

   • It was something that was very explicit in the Rifters series. … On the surface Peter Watts always has this kind of misanthropic way of talking about humans in the future, and it seems not a lot of hope. But it is there, in how the characters react to each other, how they play off of each other. It’s human, and it feels realistic and well-drawn.

   Why is Watts a thought experiment?

   • It’s one of those arguments which is reduced out of all reasonableness by reduction at all – that’s why it’s not made often. Watts called this book a “thought experiment.” It’s about intelligence existing in the absence of sentience, of that conscious I first person narrator.

   Did Watts have scientific rational?

   • Disturbingly, as hallucinatory as most sections of this book are, Watts seemed to have scientific rational for most of it. A stunning look at consciousness, identity, reality, extraterrestrial life, technology, evolution, psychology, this is very difficult but mind altering experience if you let it.

   Jun 22, 2015 · Firefall by Peter Watts. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. This is an epic science fiction first contact piece that left me wondering about sentience, consciousness and whether I could trust anything I saw, heard or felt. It is certainly the best book that I have read so far in 2015. Peter Watt’s acceptance speech at the Hugo Awards ceremony in 2010.
