Tolte le teorie personali dell’autore , è un libro divulgativo decente. Tra gli scienziati si sta sviluppando sempre più la tendenza ad improvvisarsi filosofi, inutile dire che sfociano nella superficialità.

Da lettore appassionato dell'argomento una prima parte interessante e consistente. Nella seconda un po' troppe congetture e ipotesi allo stato iniziale. Sicuramente affascinante come tutto ciò che riguarda il cervello.

Stupendo per chi è interessato sul funzionamento della mente. Da rileggere nel tempo
