Reddit reviews The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind

Hey Michio. Big fan of yours. Read all of your books and am currently reading your newest The Future of the Mind. I just got it a day ago.

Of all the things you have covered, what are you looking forward to the most that you expect to happen within the next 20 years?

Good question and I should qualify I’m not a physicist but Dr. Michio Kaku wrote a pretty good book outlining his reasons why that statement is true. The Future of the Mind Great read.

Edit: Name spelling

Probably a lot of readers of /r/water have read Cadillac Desert.

I own a copy of, and have made two false starts reading, The King Of California as recommend by the anonymous author of the blog On The Public Record.

I highly recommend A Great Aridness, a worthy heir to Cadillac Desert.

Also on my to-read list is Rising Tide. I would like to find a book that does for the Great Lakes what Marc Reisner did for water in the American West with his book Cadillac Desert.

A few things I've read this year that have little to do with water:

• The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History
  
• The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind
  
• The Human Experiment: Two Years and Twenty Minutes Inside Biosphere 2
  
• The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies
  
• Citizenville: How to Take the Town Square Digital and Reinvent Government
  
  EDIT: Oh, and Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt

"The mind is, what the brain does"

"You" are just the sum of all the experiences and information processed by your brain. In theory, if you could do a brain transplant you could actually be in another persons body.

All the Information that makes you is encoded in your brain.

It is even hypothesized that you could, one day, extract all the information of you brain (called a connectum) and store it on something like a computer.

You could then use this connectum to re-create your brain, essentially restoring "you" from a backup. While this is all technology that's maybe centuries away, it does not contradict any of our scientific theories.
