Not sure I’d call it “cozy,” but BEWILDERMENT by Richard Powers, which I’ve just finished, centers on a heartwarming relationship between a widower and his 9-year-old son—all set in a dystopian near-future that portrays the existential threat humans pose to our natural environment.

Readers interested in the philosophy of mind and consciousness will find ‘The Conscious Mind: In Search of a Fundamental Theory’ by David Chalmers to be a fascinating read. Chalmers’ argument for the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness and his exploration of what it means to be conscious are both enlightening and challenging.
