- Summary
- Drawing on a number of cutting-edge discoveries from brain research as well as on his own insights as a neuroscientist and neuropsychologist, Goldberg presents a wide-ranging discussion of history, culture, and evolution to arrive at an original understanding of the nature of human creativity. He discusses the origins of language, the nature of several neurological disorders, animal cognition, virtual reality, and even artificial intelligence. Included are his bold predictions about the future directions of creativity and innovation in society, and how they will change the ways the human brain develops and ages.
