"When I started reading this book, I thought Lynch's observations were rather hyperbolic. By the time I finished the book, I was stunned to realize that his points are not only rational but of urgent importance. Avoid reading this book at your peril."

The Neuro Revolution
How Brain Science Is Changing Our World
Published by St. Martin's Press
History has already progressed through an agricultural revolution, an industrial revolution, and an information revolution. THE NEURO REVOLUTION: How Brain Science Is Changing Our World (St. Martin's Press) by Zack Lynch foretells a fast approaching fourth epoch that will yet again transform how humans live, work and play. Neurotechnology-new tools for both understanding and influencing our brains including brain imaging-is now being applied not only to breakthrough medicine but to almost every aspect of human endeavor, from financial markets to law enforcement to politics to advertising and marketing, artistic expression, warfare, and even to religious belief.
TNR CoverBy telling us the stories behind the brilliant people leading this worldwide revolution, taking us into their laboratories, boardrooms and courtrooms, Zack Lynch illuminates a unique, insider's glimpse into the startling future now arriving at our doorstep. The insights and revelations within THE NEURO REVOLUTION will foster wonder, debate, and in some cases consternation. Above all, though, they need to be understood by those who will be most affected-all of us.
THE NEURO REVOLUTION is the first book to provide a comprehensive view of the impact brain science will have on law, marketing, financial markets, education, national defense, religion, investing, healthcare, government and entertainment. Moreover, the book describes a new tool through which to view the future, Time's Telescope, which draws upon the history of technological revolutions to project into our common future.
