Mirador de la Memoria is a book about loneliness, love, science and ethics. It addresses in depth the use of technology as a substitute for human contact, an issue that already affects, and will certainly affect even more our society in the near future. The author's knowledge in affective neuroscience, neuroeconomics and cognitive psychology is evident throughout the book and provides rich arguments for the ongoing (at least in the reader's mind) debate on how far we can go in using technology to satisfy a fundamental human need, the one of connecting to another being. It is an exceptionally written book that opens more questions than it answers, possibly because it is written by a scientist! Mirador de la Memoria made me think about what exactly the word "human" refers to in the context of relationships and in today's world where technology is constantly transforming the way communication between human beings happens. I would recommend this book to anyone who actually likes people, anyone who likes talking and connecting with others, anyone who is wondering where this need comes from and how the brain is supposed to control all this. Does is actually control it or is it simply able to represent, to give substance to things that are out of control but are so central to our existence that we cannot deny their presence? Hmmm... We can only imagine what Dr Paulina Kochanowska would have to say about that!
