Book Review of Conscious in Wonderland by Steven Heumann
My Review
What would happen if we were able to control our unconsciousness? What kind of people would we become if we could choose every aspect of our unconscious lives from what we looked like, where we lived, and what we wore? If we could access other people’s thoughts and emotions, how would that change us?
Although just a short story, Conscious in Wonderland is very well written, packed full of incredible details and concepts that make the reader stop to ponder their meaning. Do we truly understand our own minds? This story makes you wonder how much we don’t understand about ourselves in our own subconscious. Compelling and thought-provoking. I enjoyed it!
My rating: 5 stars

It’s time for a hit from a cognitive crack pipe.
When Alice joins her boyfriend’s university experiment in shared consciousness, she discovers a world where thoughts are reality and concepts are smells. Her scientific brain is soon overwhelmed by the presence of other people, some dreaming, others hunting.
Can she escape, or will her desire for knowledge be crushed beneath the drug-rush from a sea of emotions?
And that’s before her boyfriend throws his mind into the mix.’
