Recenzje

This book provides a succinct but comprehensive introduction to all major neural prosthetics and their philosophical implications. It is informative, thought-provoking, and timely for an age when neural technologies are rapidly advancing while the conversations between scientists, clinicians, ethicists, and the general public are still lacking.
