Forgetting Machine

4.5
A lovely, light perusal through some fascinating topics as they relate to memory. Quiroga avoids this becoming an incredibly dense scientific book by aptly explaining key concepts, allowing you to consider them, and then guiding you onto the next point. Most chapters could be 500 page books if they were dissected further (which they would all need to be to give them true justice) so he does an excellent job of containing them in pithy chapters without losing the awe and interest of many of science, psychology and philosophy’s most interesting issues.
