This is an amazing book about the predictive processing theory. Andy Clark has been working on this theory for many years. He makes a very compelling case, but it is quite a hard read for people who are unfamiliar with the field. It took me a while to read it.
The last paragraph of the book is a good summary:
"The brain thus revealed is a restless, pro-active organ locked in dense, continuous exchange with body and world. Thus equipped we encounter, through the play of self-predicted sensory stimulation, a world of meaning, structure, and opportunity: a world parsed for action, pregnant with future, and patterned by the past."
