Dr. Kaku does an excellent job developing and explaining a a smörgåsbord of ideas about the future of humans and the study of consciousness. Occasionally he gets pretty far afield but he always manages to ground himself eventually.

Some really interesting stuff that, over and over, descends into silliness that is not just goofy in how it relates sci fi to real world tech, but extremely credulous or over-ambitious and not at all wary of the dangers of the things it's proposing. The actual, scientific, brain stuff is interesting. The "maybe we could recreate The Force from Star Wars" stuff feels amateurish and goofy.

Kaku reviews the current science of the brain and mind in an easy to read way. His exploration of the complexities of neuroscience answers questions and opens doors to other questions at the same time. Can we "upload" our brain? Will robots ever be "human?"
I thoroughly enjoyed this book... but I'm a bit of a science geek 😊

I didn't completely understand every bit of this, but I loved it. It's fascinating how little we know about the brain.
