Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Future of the Mind by Michio Kaku, the international best-selling author of Physics of the Impossible. Read by the actor Feodor Chin.
Recording memories, mind reading, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis - no longer are these feats of the mind solely the province of overheated science fiction. As Michio Kaku reveals, not only are they possible, but with the latest advances in brain science and recent astonishing breakthroughs in technology, they already exist.
In The Future of the Mind, the New York Times best-selling author takes us on a stunning, provocative and exhilarating tour of the top laboratories around the world to meet the scientists who are already revolutionising the way we think about the brain - and ourselves.

interesting book
the narrator was quite good. there were some parts that I struggled with but overall I'm quite enthralled with the amount of knowledge I gained. I especially liked the anecdotes about very curious medical conditions related to the brain. and to think that we actually have two brains thinking separately is mind-boggling! !!

Excellent
Excellent book, extremely complex subjects made easy to grasp for the average person like only Michio Kaku can. Narrator is very good, he almost sounds like Kaku himself.

Great Introduction to Neuroscience
Both the writer and narrator did a great job in explaining everything starting from the history of neuroscience to the various modification we will encounter in the near future.Michio Kaku also gave a great definition of conscience and many other topics.He also compares many conditions with movies so it made it alot easier to imagine and picture what was said.

An amazing book, really good fun to listen to it. It occupied my thoughts for quite a while. Easy to listen to and easy to understand.

Why does it matter who sponsored research?
Professor K takes the trouble of mentioning President Obama and his government for sponsoring some key research projects but hardly mentions any other political personality or entity. This felt like bias to me (I wonder if Prof K is a diehard Democrat?) and started to gnaw at me and ruined the already average quality of writing. He often goes off tangents to explore his own imagination instead of focusing on the science. The book put me off watching any documentary or books by him for good. I stopped listening after about 60%.
