How to Create a Mind<br />
The Secret of Human Thought Revealed<br />
Ray Kurzweil<br />
Ray Kurzweil is arguably today’s most influential futur-<br />
ist. In How to Create a Mind, he presents a provocative<br />
exploration of the most important project in the humanmachine<br />
civilization: reverse-engineering the brain to<br />
understand precisely how it functions and using that<br />
knowledge to create even more intelligent machines.<br />
Kurzweil discusses how the brain works, how the mind<br />
emerges, brain-computer interfaces, and the implications<br />
of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence to<br />
address the world’s problems. Certain to be one of the most<br />
widely discussed and debated science books of the year,<br />
How to Create a Mind is sure to take its place alongside<br />
Kurzweil’s previous classics.<br />
Ray kuRZweil is one of today’s<br />
leading inventors and the author of<br />
The Singularity Is Near and The Age of<br />
Spiritual Machines, among other books.<br />
He lives in Boston.<br />
“ It is rare to find a book that offers unique<br />
and inspiring content on every page. . . . This<br />
is a visionary work that is also<br />
accessible and entertaining.”<br />
—Rafael Reif, president, MIT<br />
“ This book is a Rosetta stone for<br />
the mystery of human thought.<br />
. . . Kurzweil deals with the subject of<br />
consciousness better than anyone . . . His<br />
persuasive thought experiment is of Einstein<br />
quality: It forces recognition of the truth.”<br />
