His fantastic investigation of the effect of the Internet on our neurological selves concludes with a very humanistic petition for balancing our human and computer interactions. Carr's analysis incorporates a wealth of neuroscience and other research, as well as philosophy, science, history and cultural developments. Carr provides a deep, enlightening examination of how the Internet influences the brain and its neural pathways. ![]()
