Big Think’s print debut

Flip through the pages of consciousness in this collectable edition.

Greetings Big Thinkers,

For the first time ever, we are sending Big Think to print, and we’ve picked one of our favorite topics to cover: consciousness.

The Consciousness Issue features essays and interviews with luminaries like Anil Seth, Annaka Harris, Erik Hoel, and Peter Godfrey-Smith, who explore some of the field’s biggest questions: Will AI ever become conscious? What if our intuitions about consciousness are all wrong? And what might unconscious brains teach us about conscious minds?

If you’d like to be included on the mailing list*, you can upgrade to our paid tier to receive this print issue and many other benefits such as early access to our Big Think Interviews, access to our Big Think+ Expert Classes, and more. Once you’ve upgraded, you’ll receive a link in your welcome email where you can enter your address.

Along with our print issue, we’re also releasing a digital version this Thursday in a special Smarter Faster Consciousness takeover.

Everyone at Big Think is thrilled to share our first-ever print issue with our biggest fans, and we hope to get your feedback. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to message us.

Thank you for your continued support,

– Stephen Johnson
Managing Editor at Big Think
