The Future of the Mind

Direct mental communication with computers, telekinesis, implantation of new skills directly into the brain, video recording of images, memories, and dreams, telepathy, avatars and surrogates as assistants to humanity, exoskeletons controlled by thought, and artificial intelligence. This is all our near future.

In the coming decades, we will learn to enhance our intelligence with the help of gene therapy, drugs, and magnetic devices. Science is rapidly advancing in this direction.

The nature of work and communication in social networks, the learning process, and human development as a whole will change. Many incurable diseases will be overcome, we will become different.

Is our mind ready for the future? What awaits it there? These questions are answered by Michio Kaku, a futurist, science popularizer, and author of popular science bestsellers, based on the latest research in the fields of neurobiology and physics.
