È l’anno 2045, sei in un centro per la programmazione della mente e stai decidendo quale potenziamento vuoi inserire nel tuo cervello per ampliare la tua memoria, accrescere le tue capacità musicali o quelle matematiche.

Instead, he persuasively argues that rationing is a vital concept for our fragile present.
