#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The renowned theoretical physicist and national bestselling author of The God Equation tackles the most fascinating and complex object in the known universe: the human brain.

"Compelling...Kaku thinks with great breadth, and the vistas he presents us are worth the trip." --The New York Times Book Review

The Future of the Mind brings a topic that once belonged solely to the province of science fiction into a startling new reality. This scientific tour de force unveils the astonishing research being done in top laboratories around the world--all based on the latest advancements in neuroscience and physics--including recent experiments in telepathy, mind control, avatars, telekinesis, and recording memories and dreams. The Future of the Mind is an extraordinary, mind-boggling exploration of the frontiers of neuroscience. Dr. Kaku looks toward the day when we may achieve the ability to upload the human brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; project thoughts and emotions around the world on a brain-net; take a "smart pill" to enhance cognition; send our consciousness across the universe; and push the very limits of immortality.

As usual Kaku disappoints. An encyclopaedia of borrowed interest, much of it interesting, all of it failing to deliver the slightest hint of what Mind actually is, let alone what is its future. The narrow view of a specialist (physicist) with none of the broad insight of a generalist. Interesting for my own research nevertheless, which is why I didn't rate it a one star.
