The New York Times best-selling author of PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, PHYSICS OF THE FUTURE and HYPERSPACE tackles the most fascinating and complex object in the known universe: the human brain.
For the first time in history, the secrets of the living brain are being revealed by a battery of high tech brain scans devised by physicists. Now what was once solely the province of science fiction has become a startling reality. Recording memories, telepathy, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis are not only possible; they already exist.
THE FUTURE OF THE MIND gives us an authoritative and compelling look at the astonishing research being done in top laboratories around the world—all based on the latest advancements in neuroscience and physics. One day we might have a "smart pill" that can enhance our cognition; be able to upload our brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; send thoughts and emotions around the world on a "brain-net"; control computers and robots with our mind; push the very limits of immortality; and perhaps even send our consciousness across the universe.
Dr. Kaku takes us on a grand tour of what the future might hold, giving us not only a solid sense of how the brain functions but also how these technologies will change our daily lives. He even presents a radically new way to think about "consciousness" and applies it to provide fresh insight into mental illness, artificial intelligence and alien consciousness.
With Dr. Kaku's deep understanding of modern science and keen eye for future developments, THE FUTURE OF THE MIND is a scientific tour de force--an extraordinary, mind-boggling exploration of the frontiers of neuroscience.

要回答“什么是天オ”这个问题，一种方法就是分析爱因斯坦的大脑。为爱因斯坦进行尸检的普林斯顿医院医生托马斯·哈维（ ThomasHrey）博士，显然是由于一时之意决定秘密保存这个大脑，这个决定未经爱因斯坦家庭的同意，也违背了他们的意愿。
也许，他这么做是出于一种模糊的想法，有一天，这个大脑可以解开天才的奥秘。也许，像很多人一样，他认为爱因斯坦的大脑中有一个特殊的部位是他强大智力的所在。布赖恩・伯勒尔（ Brian Burrell）在《来自大脑博物馆的明信片》（ Postcards from the Brain Museum）一书中猜测，也许哈维医生“被面前的伟大惊呆了，陷入了一时的混乱。但他很快发现自己所做的事是不可原谅的”。
在此之后，爱因斯坦的大脑所遇到的波折更像是一部喜剧，而非科学故事。很多年来，哈维博士都信誓旦旦地要发表自己研究这个大脑的成果。但他不是大脑方面的专家，而且一直寻找借口拖延。几十年来，这个大脑被储存在啤酒冷库中，由两个装在酒盒中的玻璃罐盛放，玻璃罐中盛满了甲醛。他让一位技术员把大脑切成了240片，在极少的情况下，他会把其中一些切片寄给要进行研究的科学家。有一次，他用蛋黄酱罐子把些切片寄给了伯克利的科学家。
40年后，哈维博士开着他的别克云雀轿车，穿过全国，载着装有爱因斯坦大脑的塑料罐子，期望把它归还给爱因斯坦的孙女伊芙琳（ Evelyn）。她拒绝接受。哈维博士于2007年去世后，他的后代承担了把这些大脑切片恰当地捐赠给科学界的责任。这个离奇的故事被拍成了电视记录片。
（应该指出，爱因斯坦的大脑并不是唯一一个得到保存的大脑。在百年前，数学界最伟大的天オ之一，经常被誉为数学王子的卡尔・弗里德里希·高斯[ Carl Friedrich Gauss]，他的大脑也为一位医生所保存。但在那时，大脑解剖术基本上还处在原始状态，无法... (查看原文)

Combination of science and sci-fi, not too optimistic and not too pessimistic, which is what I like best.

举例几个这样的未来:1.计算机可以直接读取大脑信息，互联网不再拘泥于文字，图片，视频，而是可以上传下载思想、记忆、体验、情感或者梦境。记忆体验等可以被删除或增强。2.大脑也可以直接控制计算机，大脑可以像操控真的肢体一样操控残障人士的假肢，假肢也能够像真的肢体一样提供反馈。3.完全破解掉大脑运作模式后，人工智能将发展到什么样的境地。从悲观的角度看，比《黑镜》还要可怕。
