I bought the book. Chapter 13 deals with 'Why Computers Can't Experience'. The author has layers and layers of theory and a very detailed discussion of the mechanics of a modern processor. But the author seems to have some fundamental inability to distinguish between layers of abstraction. That even though the fundamentals of a computer circuit are very simple, such a circuit could be used to simulate a very rich model. The author sees nowhere in the circuit where experience could happen. But the 'experience' would be within the model, not within the circuit.
Its basically a book about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_information_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_information_theory apparently
