Synopsis "Anesthesia: The Gift of Oblivion and the Mystery of Consciousness"

"An obsessive, mystical, terrifying, and even phantasmagorical exploration of anesthesias shadowy terra incognita." The New Yorker Anesthetize: to render insensible First theres the injection, then the countdownand next thing you know, youre awake. Anesthesia: The Gift of Oblivion and the Mystery of Consciousness is the story of the time in between. It explores that most crucial and baffling gift of modern medicine: the disappearing act that enables us to undergo procedures that would otherwise be impossibly, often fatally, painful. Haunting, lyrical, sometimes shattering, Kate Cole-Adams leavens science with personal experience, and brings an intensely human curiosity to the unknowable realm beyond consciousness.
