Moonwalking With Einstein

Summary: We're using our memories less and less. We've outsourced our memory to technology and devices such as GPS systems, google and online notebooks. When a memory goes missing, such as someones name, it can be frustrating and futile and can come at some social cost. Moonwalking With Einstein tells Joshua Foer's journey from journalist to US Memory Champion in twelve months, and talks about different memory techniques and phenomena of the brain along the way.
