Summary
What is it that makes you distinct from me? Identity is a term much used but hard to define. For that very reason, it has long been a topic of fascination for philosophers but has been regarded with aversion by neuroscientists - until now.
Susan Greenfield takes us on a journey in search of a biological interpretation of this most elusive of concepts, guiding us through the social and psychiatric perspectives and ultimately to the heart of the physical brain.
Greenfield argues that as the brain adapts exquisitely to environment, the cultural challenges of the 21st century, with its screen-based technologies, mean that we are facing unprecedented changes to identity itself.

Excellent audiobook
This is a very thought provoking essay. Well written and enjoyable to listen to. The themes of this audiobook are becoming ever more relevant and helped by the easily accessible format and style, it could be radically influential in impacting future debate. A very good listen.

nothing new + overly anthropocentric
as someone who reads cognitive neuroscience and psych books quite frequently, i found nothing new in this book. it simplifies too much. i also found some parts casually presented as facts to be undefendably anthropocentric, narrow-minded, illogical, and quite outdated.
it's performed in a pleasant way but some words are mispronounced, which at times steals focus from the intended content. some interesting conceptualizations but overall not something I would recommend over other cognitive neuroscience/psych books.

Repetitive message
This very quickly became a one trick horse essay. The arguments to be proven are well established already. I stuck with it, just in case there was anything new, which aside from one or two trivia facts, there was nothing.

Disappointed
Absolutely fuming that she has the assumption that autistic people do not empathise. There are so many holes in this book that it's really not worth it. You'll be left either asking more questions or frustrated at the generalised assumptions.
