At our core, are we material bodies or immaterial conscious minds? Many assume that consciousness is a product of our complex brains, a product of evolution—and yet, there is no evolutionary reason that a mechanical function of the brain should allow us to enjoy the beauty of a sunrise or become intoxicated with the smell of rain on dry earth.

Sommer 1934. Die Meeresbiologin Gloria Hollister sitzt an Bord eines Schiffes in der Nähe der Atlantikinsel Nonsuch, mit einer Hand presst sie einen Hörer ans Ohr, mit der anderen schreibt sie fieberhaft in ein Notizbuch. Die Telefonleitung reicht über 900 m tief ins Meer hinab. Dort unten baumelt an einem Stahlseil eine Tauchkugel, in der William Beebe zusammengekauert sitzt. Durch winzige Bullaugen blickt er in die fremde Unterwasserwelt. Aufgeregt beschreibt er fantastische Kreaturen und wundersame Licht- und Farbeffekte.
