The bold futurist and bestselling creator explores the limitless potential of reverse-engineering the human brain

Ray Kurzweil is arguably these days’s most influential—and incessantly controversial—futurist. In How to Create a Mind, Kurzweil presents a provocative exploration of a very powerful project in human-machine civilization—reverse engineering the brain to remember precisely the way it works and the use of that knowledge to create even more intelligent machines.

Kurzweil discusses how the brain functions, how the mind emerges from the brain, and the implications of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence in addressing the world’s problems. He thoughtfully examines emotional and moral intelligence and the origins of consciousness and envisions the radical chances of our merging with the intelligent technology we are creating.

Certain to be one of the crucial widely discussed and debated science books of the year, How to Create a Mind is sure to take its place alongside Kurzweil’s previous classics which come with Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever and The Age of Spiritual Machines.
