      abstract = {"We are on the cusp of a revolution. Mobile phones,  computers and iPods are commonplace in hundreds of millions  of households worldwide, influencing how we think and  shaping how we interact. In the future, smart machines will  compete with clever people for employment and even human  affection. We are shifting to a world where knowledge will  be automated and people will be rewarded instead as  conceptual and creative thinkers. Hence being able to think  and act in ways that machines cannot will become vital.  Ideas are the currency of this new economy and curiosity  and imagination are among the key raw materials. But what  happens to the rigour of our thinking in a world where we  never really sit still or completely switch off? What are  some of the unexpected consequences of digital information  on the 100 billion cells and quadrillion connections inside  our brains? Future Minds illustrates how to maximise the  potential of digital technology and minimise its greatest  downside, addressing the future of thinking and how we can  ensure that we unleash the extraordinary potential of the  human mind."--Publisher.},
