"Space Vampires" is an infinitely better hook than my "It's about...uh...conciousness...and stuff." But I hate to tell you that Blindsight isn't any lighter on new radical ideas than 3BP. For the sequel I had to read an AMA with Watts just to get the gist of it. (Three "gods" duking it out in a game of 5D chess with different and evolving goals for each participant through the eyes of a mortal.) Oh, and there is a fun supplement on Youtube, a (fake) TED Talk about Vampires and Evolution, by the man himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEOUaJW05bU
