From the inventor of the PalmPilot comes a groundbreaking theory of intelligence, brain function, and the future of intelligent machines. Jeff Hawkins, creator of the PalmPilot and Treo smartphone, aims to revolutionize neuroscience and computing with a new understanding of intelligence. He presents a compelling theory on how the human brain operates, clarifying why computers lack true intelligence and how we can finally create intelligent machines based on this insight. The brain functions not as a computer but as a memory system that captures experiences reflecting the world's structure, remembering sequences and their relationships, and making predictions from those memories. This memory-prediction system is the foundation of intelligence, perception, creativity, and consciousness. Hawkins, along with acclaimed science writer Sandra Blakeslee, engages a wide audience—from the curious to professional scientists—demonstrating how comprehending brain function can lead to the development of intelligent silicon machines that surpass human capabilities in unexpected ways. This landmark work promises to transform the possibilities of the technology age, offering clarity and scope that will resonate with readers.
