If you found the article interesting, i highly recommend this book: "Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness". It is a fascinating description of how cephalopods are the closest thing to intelligence that is built vastly different from us. The author also explores philosophical questions (à la Thomas Nagel) What does it feel like to be an octopus? Does it have multiple selves? The book doesn't have all the answers and sort of fizzles out at the end, but definitely one of my better reads this year.

- evincarofautumn 9y agoCurious—that book just caught my eye at the library. Time to go pick it up.
- bharath28 9y agoDefinitely worth a read. If you end up with the official audio book on Audible (which is what i did), the narrator is pretty good too.
