About this ebook
What is it that makes you distinct from me? Identity is a term much used but hard to define. You and Me considers the concept of identity from the perspective of a neuroscientist. As the brain adapts exquisitely to the environment, do the cultural challenges of the 21st century mean that we are facing unprecendented challenges to identity itself?

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I didn't manage to get into this one, even though it's the sort of essay that would normally be right up my street. There are certainly interesting elements of it, though, and others will likely find it far more to their taste.
