Everyone with sight knows the pleasure of colours, the fascination of faces and bodies, the subtle forms of nature, and the curious patterns of art. This book is for everyone who would like to delve deeper into their experience of seeing.

Exploring its subject from many different perspectives – including art, science, the media, sexuality, artificial intelligence, and philosophy – Roger Horrocks takes a unique approach to the ways in which vision can re-shape our thoughts, our pleasures, and our social behaviour.

‘What keeps the reader engaged is Horrocks’ enthusiasm, his desire to prove to us, over and over, how much more there is to his subject than meets our eye.’ – Wystan Curnow
