A provocative exploration of the most important project in today's human-machine civilisation - reverse-engineering the brain to understand precisely how it works and using that knowledge to create ever 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 possiblities of our merging with the intelligent technology we are creating.
