A very good summary of where we're at today.
I've read a previous book by Robert Lanza, and although I have some criticisms of style and presentation I believe he is basically correct - consciousness is fundamental.
I don't like the term "biocentrism"; it's easily misinterpreted to imply that chemistry, rather than consciousness, is at the center. Just by asking the common question, "how does the brain give rise to consciousness?", we show that we've assumed our conclusion. Our consciousness is associated with brain activities; but I think causality flows in the other direction.
Logic alone leads us to the same place George Berkeley arrived at long ago: the words "matter" and "physical" add nothing to the description of reality. In fact, they have no non-circular definitions - literally, no meaning. What are quarks made of, other than observations - what is "quark stuff"?
