This is an excellent book, as are his others as well. He talks about some kind of shrimp that has the best vision of all creatures on the planet, but nobody knows why they have it.
This book gives about the best answer so far to the question, “What is it like to be a bat?”, asked by philosopher Thomas Nagel in 1974. At least in terms of all the senses we all use to live in the world.
