“Consciousness is the way information feels when it’s being processed in certain complex ways.”
Max Tegmark is a Swedish‑American MIT physicist and cosmologist, president and co‑founder of the Future of Life Institute, and bestselling author of Our Mathematical Universe and Life 3.0. He is celebrated for championing the Mathematical Universe Hypothesis, proposing that reality isn’t merely described by math—it is math itself.
Tegmark also pioneered the notion of consciousness as a state of matter, framing subjective experience in terms of information theory.
"All of us...should ask ourselves what can we do now to improve the chances of reaping the benefits of future AI and avoiding the risks...Tegmark's thought-provoking book will help you join it" — Stephen Hawking
