If it were a Fiction novel then might I suggest Blindsight by Peter Watts?

not fiction. Maybe like a System 1 vs System 2 thing from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Kahneman.

ChatGPT mentioned The Case Against Reality but I never read that, the idea was similar.

Maybe one of the books by Douglas Hofstadter? Godel Escher Bach? or I Am A Strange Loop?
