This is a timely examination of some key questions we should be asking ourselves as neurotechnology and AI become more and more common. Should we be giving our brain data away in exchange for convenience? Who should have access to brain related data? What does the future of brain enhancement look like? Without question, there is a lot to be gained from emerging neurotech, but are we equipped to manage the full range of consequences? Dr. Farahany explores these questions and more in this intriguing and accessible book.

This is a great read for those who are using brain related technology, want to be, or are interested in bioethics and privacy in the digital age.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for this ALC!

In her new book ‘The Battle for Your Brain,’ Nita Farahany explores where we are at in present day and where we’re headed in regards to neurotechnology. Nita writes with conviction to bring awareness and provokes thought around entities such as employers, school systems, the government etc., tracking our thoughts, brain data and so much more. One of my biggest takeaways from this audiobook was that neurotechnology should be used to empower not control. If you’re curious about neurotechnology advancements and how this may affect our freedom of thought, give this a read.
