Will it make sense to ask ourselves when the future began? What will be the definitive answer of this oxymoron, in which the verb is conjugated in the past when it talks about something that is to come? Perhaps the key can be found within these contradictions, because what was expected is already among us: hyperconnection, the continuous present where all time is fused, the digital and the biological, the long and hurried life, the technological advances that are so amazing they no longer amaze. And now that it has arrived, we ask ourselves what we are going to do with that future and what will that future be like with all of us. Be that as it may, we know that we will have to cross it with the same body and the same brain we had had since thousands of years ago. To ask ourselves about the occurrence of this relationship between human beings and the times that have run like never before is the main objective of this book. This is the presentation of the internationally recognized neuroscientist Facundo Manes and Mateo Niro The brain of the future, a solid and meticulous work in which we analyze the most relevant aspects that we will have to face in the face of a tomorrow that is already among us, and those to whom we must pay attention to without exception to reach a society in which welfare is general. In this way, they develop fundamental topics such as the place of neuroscience and interdisciplinary work; the impact of new technologies on the brain; neuroethics and the limits that should be established in the face of scientific advances; the incidence and possible treatments of mental illnesses increasingly spread; and a deep reflection about the current social problems and the role of science to reach its resolution. After the enormous success of Usar el cerebro and El cerebro argentino, Manes and Niro invite us in their new book to take a step further in this magnificent adventure that means to understand the present, to live a full, developed and human "modern life". 

Will modern life change our essence?
