I look at it a little differently.

It's not that consciousness is illusory. Rather, consciousness is synthesis.

A synthesis of sensory inputs as interpreted by multiple, sometimes competing, semi-independent systems combined with stored patterns based on previous subjective "experience", creating a narrative about you and the world.

That narrative is our subjective experience, our "consciousness."
