From ventilators to brain implants, medicine has been blurring what it means to die. In a lucid description of modern neuroscientific thinking, Zeleznikow-Johnston explains that death is not the loss of breath, but of personal identity – that the core of our identities is our minds, and that our minds are encoded in the structure of our brains. On this basis, he explores how recent discoveries now offer us all the chance of preserving our minds for future revival. Whether they discovered cures or fought for justice, we are grateful to those of our ancestors who helped craft a kinder world.

Important subject
Revisado: 12-30-24
Important and thought-provoking subject. Really well written and well read. My one complaint is that I gently disagree with his treatment of the current state of brain preservation. He knocks cryonics quite a bit in the first chapter, but then has a bit of a gentler attitude at later parts in the book. The fact is, it’s the best we’ve got, but I hope that some of his suggestions come in to play in the future.

Why is Miami… Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena. Through a series of gripping stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering

A great audiobook of a great book
Revisado: 10-08-24
It doesn’t get better than audiobooks by Malcolm Gladwell and Pushkin. He tells great stories, connects them expertly, and the production value a second to none. Worth a listen.

We live in a world of great and increasing complexity, where even the most expert professionals struggle to master the tasks they face. Longer training, ever more advanced technologies - neither seems to prevent grievous errors. But in a hopeful turn, acclaimed surgeon and writer Atul Gawande finds a remedy in the humblest and simplest of techniques: the checklist.

Excellent book
Revisado: 06-17-23
I really enjoyed this excellent, well-written book. Gawande manages to make the use of checklists to implement complex systems, important, relevant, and even emotional. Some things are left out of the exploration, like when checklists work and when they don’t, but the topics he tackles, he tackles very well.

Virtual reality is genuine reality; that’s the central thesis of Reality+. In a highly original work of “technophilosophy,” David J. Chalmers gives a compelling analysis of our technological future. He argues that virtual worlds are not second-class worlds, and that we can live a meaningful life in virtual reality. We may even be in a virtual world already.

Thought-provoking and rigorous
Revisado: 03-18-22
This is a challenging, fascinating, and rigorous examination of the nature of reality. It works quite well in audio form, though there are a few places where there are clear references to diagrams or to terms that differ in emphasis but not spelling that don’t quite translate. But that’s small beans for being able to digest these stimulating and important ideas.
Highly recommended.
