World Wide Mind: The Coming Integration of Humanity, Machines, and the Internet presents, in more or less layman’s terms, a roadmap to building technology capable of reading and stimulating neural activity in the brain related to memory, with the ultimate goal of sharing that information via the Internet with other people connected to this World Wide Mind. As the recipient of cochlear implants himself and through a profoundly personal story of his own search for personal connectedness, Chorost is in a unique position to consider the impacts of melding the human body with technology and enabling the sharing of a deeper level of human consciousness.
