Moonwalking with Einstein

A review of the book and an excerpt from the review:

Now, more than ever, the subject of memory has taken on a new urgency. The baby boomers are senior citizens, having senior moments. The rise of neuroscience in the last decade has made us aware of our brains in a way that we weren’t before. And, perhaps most significantly, technology is obviating the need to remember anything.

Welcome to the age of forgetting.
