Join Kate Cole-Adams and Sophie Cunningham at the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival to discuss Kate’s book Anaesthesia: The Gift of Oblivion and the Mystery of Consciousness.

Anaesthesia is a modern miracle. But how much do we really know about what happens to us on the operating table? Is pain still pain if we are not awake to feel it? Writer and journalist Kate Cole-Adams melds science and philosophy with personal experiences to explore the gift of oblivion and the mystery of unconsciousness.
