Overview

In The Emotional Computer Jose Antonio Jauregui explores what it is about the human 'self' which sets us apart from machines. His highly original belief is of the brain as an 'emotional' computer, programmed via genes or via culture, informing us to eat, play tennis or have sex through the activation of feelings.
