What our brains hold and what they do is something we’ve been exploring, but what will they do in the future? If Ray Kurzweil has his way, our brains will be alive to see it.
Ray Kurzweil is a technologist and futurist who is on a mission to make us all immortal.

His newest book is called “How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed.”
