Nothing Will Be Like Before - Miguel Nicolelis

Nothing Will Be Like Before by Miguel Nicolelis is an ambitious but uneven book.

As I mentioned in another post, I’m a fan of Nicolelis. I admire him as a brilliant scientist. This time he moves away from the traditional scientific world to venture into a more reflective narrative, exploring scientific, cultural, and personal changes. Some parts are visionary and provocative, others meander a bit. This contrast is both the richness and the weakness of the book.

I valued his courage to question certainties and speculate about possible futures. But I missed more concreteness, it felt a bit too open, especially at the end.

Still, it left me with points to think about. Not a light read, but one that fulfills the role of provoking thought.
