“Calum MacKellar wrote a stimulating book which can be read as a primer covering most aspects of the complex and rapidly growing field of man-computer interactions. The technology will continue to develop, but the ethical problems outlined here will probably remain the same.” • Anthropos“Cyborg Mind is a brilliant primer as we start to think through what all this [the latest developments in information technology and artificial intelligence] is going to mean. It discusses big questions but makes them as accessible as possible… Do you lead a book group? Or are you just trying to make sense of what lies up ahead? Cyborg Mind is for you.” • Care Book Review“The book is timely. Brain-computer interface technologies are bound to have a significant impact on 21st-century society…This is a book for philosophers, bioethicists, lawmakers, and politicians as well, as for anyone directly involved in the use of the new technologies.” • Ethics & Medicine
