Description
Chorost posits that the way our brains will eventually connect is in a space called the World Wide Mind, a space similar to the Internet. In the process of explaining these ideas, he teaches us a lot about why we’re addicted to our iPhones and e-mail, how to break away from those addictions, how we humans are meant to connect with each other and what diseases, such as Parkinson’s, can be cured with the brain research that is making the World Wide Mind possible.

Simon Jennings –
World Wide Mind is a rare pleasure indeed: a smart book about the future of technology that is really about the complexities of the human heart and the universal yearning to be transformed by connection. By combining cutting-edge neuroscience, keen insight into the social potential of networks, and touchingly candid personal anecdotes, Chorost has written one of the most memorable and thought-provoking books of the year.
