Amazon Review: Restak argues that we are being negatively altered by the sound-bite, techno environment in which we live. He then moves to a profound implication, namely that all kinds of technological stimuli are forging brain circuits that may hurt us instead of helping us. For instance, he asserts that repeated viewing of violence on television and in video games can set up brain circuits that make us more likely to initiate realworld fisticuffs. Unfortunately, such brain imaging may leave more questions than answers.He reminds us of the antidote: we are still in control of what we allow ourselves to see and hear.
