Tomorrow's People: How 21st-Century Technology Is Changing the Way We Think and Feel [Paperback]

Susan Greenfield (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 2009

The book is an exploration of how this century is going to change not just the way we think, but also what we actually think with - our own individual minds. How will new technologies transform the way we see the world? At the beginning of the twenty-first century, we may be standing on the brink of a mind make-over far more cataclysmic than anything that has happened before. As we appreciate the dynamism and sensitivity of our brain circuitry, so the prospect of directly tampering with the essence of our individuality becomes a possibility.
