Table of ContentsReviews"""Neuroscientist and fiction writer Hoel draws on history, philosophy, mathematics, and neuroscience to examine ways that consciousness has been imagined and investigated."" --Kirkus Reviews Praise for The Revelations: ""A dizzying, impressive debut . . . Fast and furious, this mind-stretching novel makes the grade."" --Publishers Weekly ""Hoel's debut is one of the year's most ambitious novels to date, a provocative and weighty exploration of nothing short of human consciousness. . . . The novel is packed full with ideas, debates, scientific inquiry, and language that seems itself to come alive. This is a mystery novel you won't soon forget and the announcement of a major new talent."" --CrimeReads ""The Revelations is written in muscular, hypnotic prose, and not unlike its main character, is ambitious and abrasive. It is bursting with ideas, ranging from Greek mythology to the dark realities of animal testing, to some of the biggest unanswered questions facing scientists today."" --Brooklyn Digest" Author InformationDr. Erik Hoel is one of the Forbes 30 Under 30 in science and also a New York City Emerging Writers Fellow.
