Imagining Who's Telling Who

The author’s text is interesting, and the concepts that Keane introduces are certainly appealing. At times, the language can become a bit convoluted or even difficult to understand, but that also speaks to the difficult nature of the idea that Keane is discussing. Because this is something that may be wholly unfamiliar to some readers, there is some work to be done to understand how, exactly, Keane encourages us to use our subconscious as a database of ideas to lend to our conscious imagination. Overall, though, the topic is appealing, and anything that can make us better thinkers about ourselves and others is a positive thing.
