For those interested in thoughts about consciousness, I highly recommend Bernardo Kastrup.

He comes from a comp sci background but has several books and very well structured arguments for Idealism. His manner of delivering his insights I think particularly appeal to those with analytical and critical thinking backgrounds.

He has several very good videos on YouTube as well.
