An interesting overview of basically how weird our bodies and brains are and how to take advantage of that weirdness to help people. Piore talks about the ethical lines a bit...where's the line between helping people to function normally and helping people become super-human, or using this technology for nefarious purposes like making them think or behave differently based on your own ideas of how it is moral to think or behave. I did disagree with him on one point - he said he was relieved to know that we still hadn't cracked the why's behind things like creativity and love, because some things should just stay mysterious. I say nah. I'm not one to think that knowing how or why something works makes it less beautiful or meaningful.
