We all carry a narrator inside—a quiet voice that weaves our memories, shapes our identity, and makes sense of our world. But what happens when that voice fractures, falters, or disappears?

The Narrator Within is a captivating exploration of the mind's inner storyteller. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, John Spencer Pritchett takes readers deep into the lives of people whose sense of self has been transformed by brain injury, neurological conditions, or even artificial intelligence.

From the remarkable cases of Phineas Gage and Henry Molaison to the mysteries of split-brain patients, blindsight, and AI systems, this book asks profound questions: What does it mean to know? To be aware? To be human?
