Greenfield, Susan,
Mind change : how digital technologies are leaving their mark on our brains / - London : Rider Books, 2014. - xv, 368 pages ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
In this work, Susan Greenfield discusses the all-pervading technologies that now surround us, and from which we derive instant information, connected identity, diminished privacy and exceptionally vivid here-and-now experiences. In her view they are creating a new environment, with vast implications, because our minds are physically adapting: being rewired. What could this mean, and how can we harness, rather than be harnessed by, our new technological milieu to create better alternatives and more meaningful lives?
