The Future of the Mind

The Future of the Mind is a popular science book written by Michio Kaku.

About

The Future of the Mind explores many current and near-future technologies relating to the human brain.

The book provides examples of experiments and research—both past and present—and the implications that their results could have on the future of humanity.

Transhumanist Elements

Kaku's book explores many transhumanist elements, some of which include:

• Brain-net
• Consciousness transfer
• Neuroscience
• Nootropics
• Mind uploading
• Memory augmentation

Predictions

Kaku's predictions in Future of the Mind are not as concrete as predictions sometimes made by the likes of Ray Kurzweil. Kaku is more conservative in his estimates, often stating things such as: “This may be many decades away” when providing examples of when the technologies he talks of may become available.
