Three Pounds of Infinity takes readers on a breathtaking journey through the greatest mystery in science: the human brain. Blending neuroscience, history, philosophy, and technology, this book explores how billions of neurons give rise to memory, emotion, language, creativity, and consciousness itself. From ancient ideas of the soul to modern artificial intelligence, it reveals how the fragile organ inside our skull became capable of art, science, love, and self-awareness. Written in vivid, accessible prose, this is a compelling exploration of what it means to be human.
