A very good book about what we currently (minus 3 years, perhaps) know: https://www.amazon.com/Consciousness-Brain-Deciphering-Codes...

The approach I like is: https://www.amazon.com/Consciousness-Social-Brain-Michael-Gr... An article by the same author: http://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/03/phlegm-th...

I like his approach very much, but I think he is a bit too generous with the artistic license and short on actual research, which is the opposite with Dehaene. I might be wrong of course. But Graziano is perhaps the best writer among current neuroscientists.
