Review:

I thought this book would be about how the brain talks to itself.  It is not that.  I was instantly bogged down in technical material that I could not decipher.  It seems like this is a pheneticist thinking about the brain purely from the perspective of language.  And, treating the brain as a machine.  I just couldn't get through it.
