I recently read the novel blind sight where humanity encounters an alien intelligence that lacks consciousness even as it uses advanced technology, like the engineering of social insects. It raised serious questions about our concepts of free will and what it means to be human. And it was based on a lot of current research. Just wanted to know what else is being discussed along those lines.
