Abstract
The two extant books in the machine consciousness series address two topics of major importance to the machine consciousness community: The informational nature of minds and the substrates for robot sentience. I will summarily review both texts to conclude that they offer two enjoyable perspectives of a common topic: Consciousness is an emerging property of epistemic control loops.
