Daniel Dennett's multiple drafts model (MDM) of consciousness is a physicalist theory of consciousness based upon cognitivism, which views the mind in terms of information processing.

As the title states, the book proposes a high-level explanation of consciousness which is consistent with support for the possibility of strong AI.
