Ten chapters on ten areas where neurological science is and will be changing society now and in the future: law, military, art, etc.. Lynch is best when discussing the reality of today, I found most of his predictions for the future to be unconvincing, huge leaps of scifi geewizness hyperbole typical of the singularity crowd. It's interesting to look at things from a neurological perspective and this book shows how widespread it is. I often found myself feeling that the mystery of life, art, being human, is at risk of being turned into numbers and demystified - what makes for a great painting or religious experience could be made into a commodity and sold at 7-11 is a real possibility once we figure out the brain mechanisms at work.
