Il quinto giorno

Interesting novel, a very different kind of lecture this summer. Characters are portrayed superficially, there is no real psychological study, no erotic tension. This book is not about thoughts, or doubts. It is not the trip within our own spiritual abyss. It’s a hypothesis, and an interesting one. Based on solid scientific knowledge, a scenario is made that shakes the fundaments of religion, ethics, and the role of the human being in the universe. What is intelligence? What is consciousness? Does a mono-cellular organism think? Uncommon answers are given in this book, answers that helped me think, and confirmed the correctness of my own philosophical system.
