The bold futurist and bestselling author explores the limitless potential of reverse-engineering the human brainRay Kurzweil is arguably todayâs most influentialâand often controversialâfuturist. In How to Create a Mind, Kurzweil presents a provocative exploration of the most important project in human-machine civilizationâreverse engineering the brain to understand precisely how it works and using 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 worldâs problems.
