![]() ![]() Livewired is the first book of its kind to address how the brain does this. The possessors of this livewired machinery, we drop into the world and absorb everything around us, from our local languages to the beliefs of our societies. But we know it should be possible, because everyone reading these words is an existence proof: your biology includes 3 pounds of this alien computational material. At the moment, we have no idea how to build this stuff. This might sound fantastical, but we all carry this futuristic machinery inside our skulls. What is liveware? It’s machinery that reconfigures itself, that adjusts and adapts to whatever’s going on around it to optimize its function. But I assert the next century is going to be all about liveware. I live in Silicon Valley, where all the talk is on the power of hardware and software. Covering decades of research to the present day, Livewired presents new discoveries from Eagleman’s own laboratory, from synesthesia to dreaming to wearable neurotech devices that revolutionize how we think about the senses. ![]()
