“We’re
on the threshold of understanding how the human brain works. These
discoveries will allow us to dramatically improve every aspect in human
life from curing mental illness and brain disease to helping humans
learn more quickly and communicate more effectively. The Neuro
Revolution insightfully forecasts the enormous consequences of these
breakthroughs.”

“The Neuro Revolution is a guide into a land both mysterious
and familiar: our own minds. Zack Lynch describes the technology and
discoveries that are illuminating this neural territory, and rightly
points out that delving into the secrets of the brain can be both
enlightening and frightening.”
- David Ewing Duncan, Author of Experimental Man, and Chief Correspondent NPR’s Biotech Nation
Zack
Lynch has it right. The new tools of neuroscience are opening new
frontiers of technology that will fundamentally change the human
condition. Our ability to understand, influence and use what is going
on in the human brain will change everything. Neurotechnology will
change our sense of who we are, make it possible to control machines
directly with our brains, improving all the things we do with our brain
from sensing to thinking, feeling and remembering. And for some, the
new technology will even create new paths to their god. The age of
neural augmentation has arrived. Zack Lynch's The Neuro Revolution captures the excitement and potential of these radical breakthroughs and what it means to be human.
