Building a universe with space, time, and mathematics -- 10. The true origins of the mathematical descriptions of the universe -- 11. How mental abstractions, information viruses, and hyperconnectivity create deadly brainets, schools of thought, and the zeitgeist -- 12. How our addiction to digital logic is changing our brains -- 13. Self-annihilation or immortality? : the ultimate choice of the true creator of everything -- Epilogue.
摘要、提要註:	A radically new cosmological view from a groundbreaking neuroscientist placing the human brain at the center of humanity's universe. Renowned neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis introduces readers to a revolutionary new theory of how the human brain evolved to become an organic computer without rival in the known universe. Nicolelis undertakes the 1st attempt to explain the entirety of human history, culture, and civilization based on a series of recently uncovered key principles of brain function. This new cosmology is centered around three fundamental properties of the human brain: its insurmountable malleability to adapt and learn; its exquisite ability to allow multiple individuals to synchronize their minds around a task, goal, or belief; and its incomparable capacity for abstraction. Combining insights from such diverse fields as neuroscience, mathematics, evolution, computer science, physics, history, art, and philosophy, Nicolelis presents a neurobiologically based manifesto for the uniqueness of the human mind and a cautionary tale of the threats that technology poses to present and future generations.
