Showing results for "the mind" in Modern

At the Mind's Limits is the story of one man's incredible struggle to understand the reality of horror.

After two horrific world wars, it seems that the great powers are rejecting the sword in favor of the pen. Technology is giving us tools and challenging us to change and move forward. But the new and more cognitive world is also confusing, sometimes frustrating, and changing very fast.
