Two neuroscientists trace a sweeping new vision of consciousness across eighteen increasingly intelligent minds, from microbes to humankind and beyond

Two maverick neuroscientists utilize the Internet—the largest psychology experiment—to explore the private activities of millions globally, revealing a revolutionary perspective on human desire that challenges conventional beliefs. Alfred Kinsey's sexual research involved interviewing 18,000 individuals, who were asked to candidly share their intimate experiences. In contrast, Ogas and Gaddam observed the raw sexual behaviors of half a billion people online.
