Well, no, not really. There are some approximations among the reviews
available at Amazon.com. You can access them with any web browser by
connecting to www.amazon.com and using their search function for the
title, or by connecting directly to
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0316180661/0736-1269624-645822
for the same result.
I could swear I wrote one myself, but it seems not to be there. This is
annoying, as I don't like duplicating effort. If forced to summarize the
very rich book in one line, I guess I'd say something like "Consciousness
is an ongoing process emergent from the brain's complex data-evaluation
and self-examining feedback/correction systems."
