TEDx Talk: Linking Human Minds
Video of my TEDxRainier talk, on Linking Human Brains, is now up. This is all about the current science of sending sights, sounds, and sensations in and out of human brains, and the frontiers of augmenting and transferring memory and intelligence. I loved giving this talk. The audience laughed a lot, as I hoped they would. It was one of the best, most receptive crowds I’ve spoken to.
The talk itself is a compilation of the very real science that I used in my novels Nexus (one of NPR’s Best Books of 2013) and Crux.
You can read fictionalized accounts of the uses and mis-uses of these technologies in the novels.
(Along with a non-fiction appendix at the back of each with more on the science.):
