Includes bibliographical references (p. [183]-190) and index. Preface: BrainGate -- Introduction: the Internet is a brain -- The thinking machine -- Darwin's cloud -- A wise guess -- Too much of a good thing -- Creative destruction -- A web of neurons -- Searching for the right words -- The limits of networks -- The social networks -- The new rules of the brain, business, and beyond -- A ghost on the Web -- Epilogue: the brain of the new machine. The Internet is more than just a series of interconnected computer networks: it's the first real replication of the human brain outside the human body. To leverage its power, you first need to understand how the Internet has evolved to take on similarities to the brain. This engaging and provocative book provides the answer. |
