Reseña del libro "Wireheads: An Unnatural History of Technology in the Brain (en Inglés)"

The story of the mavericks and scientists, crackpots and artistic visionaries who imagined a future where machines fuse with our mindsAs humanity and technology become ever more tightly interwoven, Wireheads explores the final and most intimate frontier: the brain, and the electronic devices, magnetic signals, implants, and computer interfaces that promise to merge it with the world of the machine. Will these technologies eventually direct our thoughts and behaviour--or are they doing so already? Will they maintain us in states of artificial bliss, or connect us to higher intelligences, or replace the world of our senses with simulated realities?Mike Jay, acclaimed author of Psychonauts, now traces the tangled, paranoid history of these real and fantastical brain technologies. From the fictions of H. G. Wells and Philip K. Dick to The Matrix, the CIA's Cold War experiments and Elon Musk's Neuralink, scientists and visionaries have long chased the dream of neural enhancement and control, with wildly varying degrees of success.Encompassing covert military operations and psychedelic art, moral philosophy and cybernetic theory, Jay has assembled a thrilling narrative out of our attempts to understand and rewire the brain--and a brilliant meditation on what it means to be human in a posthuman age.
