    What is consciousness? How does it arise? When did it first appear in the history of the universe? What enables us to know that we are conscious? Is there a relationship between consciousness and quantum phenomena? Could a computer be conscious? When does a fetus become conscious? Did the universe originate with consciousness? Is there a Mind of the Universe? Consciousness Made Ridiculously Simple weaves these and many other classic questions into a proposed resolution of the Mind/Body problem while avoiding the confusing jargon of the field.
