Brain Bugs: How the Brain's Flaws Shape Our Lives by Dean Buonomano

1.0

I have no clue what audience this book was written for. Because I had learned most of the points in my high school AP psychology class, I originally thought that it was written for people that are completely new to psychology. But then again, the text throws around terms that these people wouldn't know. For example, the author also goes off on tangents that assume a basic working knowledge of physiological psychology. Additionally, he oftentimes sounds very pretentious (e.g., when he says we are more likely to live in the Matrix than for God to exist). I doubt newbies to the field would enjoy that.
Finally, what's the deal with all of the missing end parentheses? I found one spelling typo and at least 4 missing ). That's such a strange thing to be missing several times.
