The Pattern Seekers:A New Theory of Human Invention
Review
I was drawn to 'The Pattern Seekers:A New Theory of Human Invention' through a CBC 'Quirks and Quarks' radio interview with the author, Simon Baron-Cohen, an expert on autism.
And while not as immersed in the subject of autism as I expected, it is integrated into a more general analysis of brain skills and types, some of which are correlated with autism.
But the author seems to be using the book to suggest his own theory on a way the brain can be parsed to explain certain skills.
