An exploration into the emergence of the conscious from the perspective of Advaita Vedanta as interpreted in terms of contemporary ideas drawn from computer programming and the human genome. Structured as a dialogue between a seeker and a sceptic, the book draws upon parallels from the world of Turing Machines, 3D Virtual Worlds and the information driven world of genetics to show how a sense of self might have emerged and could evolve towards that elusive Identity with what is known as the Brahman -- the primordial singularity -- of Vedanta.
