Lost in your brain
When science writer David Dobbs is suddenly unable to remember how to drive his kids to school, he sets off on a quest to understand his own brain, and makes a shocking discovery.
“What do you do in a situation like this? Well, if you're safe back in your driveway, and you're a writer you run two flights up stairs to your office and you start googling.”
