"""...highly engaging story..."" -- The Economist ""Insightful, thought-provoking and encyclopaedic, Makari's book shows how we came to understand where the mind is located and something of its nature."" -- Nature ""Soul Machine is George Makari’s examination of the way we moved from conceptualising our core humanity in terms of a soul to conceptualising in terms of a mind. It’s a history not of psychiatry but of consciousness, magisterial and pellucid and often wise."" -- Andrew Solomon, Best Books of 2016 - The Guardian"
