Tomorrow's People: How 21st-Century Technology is Changing the Way We Think and Feel - Softcover
The book is an exploration of how this century is going to change not just the way we think, but also what we actually think with - our own individual minds. How will new technologies transform the way we see the world? At the beginning of the twenty-first century, we may be standing on the brink of a mind make-over far more cataclysmic than anything that has happened before. As we appreciate the dynamism and sensitivity of our brain circuitry, so the prospect of directly tampering with the essence of our individuality becomes a possibility.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Tomorrows People acclaimed neuroscientist Susan Greenfield shows that, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, we are standing on the brink of a mind makeover more cataclysmic than anything in our history. The science and technology that are already at the heart of our lives will soon come to transform not just the way we live, but the way we think and feel. And as we learn to appreciate the dynamism and sensitivity of our brain circuitry, the prospect of directly tampering with the very essence of our individuality becomes increasingly likely. Here Susan Greenfield explores life in the future: a world free of pain and disease, where we can manipulate our bodies with machinery, our moods with smart drugs? and our innate nature with gene therapy. Where what we eat, our relationships, jobs, even the way we fight wars will be transformed by technology. Where home becomes a blur of artificial images, sounds, textures and smells, oblivious to any other reality. In this virtual realm of dreams and shadows?, the notion of our individual self may in fact be obliterated entirely. The question is not whether it will happen, but in our age of email, texting, Prozac, transplant Presents an exploration of how 21st Century is going to change not just the way we think, but also what we actually think with - our own individual minds.
