I'm looking around for material that would provide someone without a background in neuroscience some understanding of the debate about Integrated Information Theory and the study of consciousness.

I've read Tononi and Koch's 2015 "Consciousness: here, there, and everywhere?"

I was wondering what have been the most important critiques of this theory, and where the debate now stands.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
