In my opinion this a good book on a very troubling subject which are the current and future breakthroughs in neuroscience. These can be taken with either a positive or negative spin. Positive would be the various ways these findings will maximize the human experience. Negative in how businesses and governments could manipulate or spy on us. I detect a positive bias by the author but she does try to point out the negative side. Very thought provoking.
