Weirdest why? I'm just curious. People seem to just be posting links to the PDFs online... no one is really posting what they think about the book... Is this book about explaining how your mind works or overclocking your mind using a buffer exploit in your spinal cord's BIOS? - Anonymous

It is weird because it presents the mind as something that can be "hacked". - Anonymous

(adding more context) BTW, I don't want to be misunderstood. I think that the book is absolutely great. By "weird" I didn't meant to imply that I dislike it, quite the opposite - I actually am pretty fascinated by this subject.
I am still waiting for a O'Reilly book that shows me how to debug my brain :-) just kidding. - Anonymous
