The Mind's Sky: Human Intelligence in a Cosmic Context/Audio Cassettes

Rating:
Summary: Mind expanding
Review: Cosmologist Tim Ferris tackles everything in this series of essays which are hard to describe. Better just to list the various topics which Ferris writes about:

- SETI (the search for extraterrestrial intelligence)
- Intergallactic communication
- Multiple intelligences (Joe Montana's premotor cortex
- Split brain studies
- Death Star (26 million year mass extinctions caused by asteroid showers resulting from the orbit and resulting change in gravitational pull of a passing 2nd star)
- Virtual Reality
- Rainforest Destruction

Ferris' book is an entertaining read and a plea for humans not to wipe ourselves out.
