Steven Johnson writes that his new book “is about what brain science can teach you about yourself as an individual – in other words, not how the brain evolved, or how the brain works in the abstract, but how your brain works. […] The general idea is that modern brain science can be understood as an extension of what the great chroniclers of mental life – novelists like James, or Woolf, or Joyce – did in a literary form: helping you see your faculties of mind with a newfound clarity.”
