**Examine the inner workings of the mind and learn what consciousness and a sense of self really means – and if it even exists.** We’re used to thinking about the self as an independent entity, something that we either have or are. In *The Ego Tunnel* , philosopher Thomas Metzinger claims otherwise: No such thing as a *self* exists. The conscious self is the content of a model created by our brain-an internal image, but one we cannot experience *as* an image. Everything we experience is a virtual self in a virtual reality.But if the self is not real, why and how did it evolve? How does the brain construct it? Do we still have souls, free will, personal autonomy, or moral accountability? In a time when the science of cognition is becoming as controversial as evolution, *The Ego Tunnel* provides a stunningly original take on the mystery of the mind.
