This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. We are closer to being able to think together, through the literal linking of our minds, than you may have believed possible. Learn about the evolutionary and revolutionary technologies making this possible.

Ramez Naam is an author of science nonfiction and also of science fiction that explores what could be. He was born in Cairo, Egypt, and came to the US at the age of 3. Ramez spent 13 years at Microsoft, where he led teams developing early versions of Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer, and the Bing search engine. His career took him to the role of Partner and Director of Program Management within Microsoft, with deep experience leading teams working on cutting edge technologies such as machine learning, search, massive scale services, and artificial intelligence.

Between stints at Microsoft, Ramez founded and ran Apex NanoTechnologies, the world's first company devoted entirely to software tools to accelerate molecular design. He holds 19 patents related to search engines, information retrieval, web browsing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

Ramez is also the H.G. Wells Award-winning author of four books: including More Than Human: Embracing the Promise of Biological Enhancement, a look at the power of technology to improve the human condition; and the near-future neuroscience thrillers Nexus and Crux, about a technology that links minds, and the implications it has for the world. His most recent nonfiction book, on accelerating innovation to overcome environmental and natural resource challenges, is The Infinite Resource: The Power of Ideas on a Finite Planet. He lives in Seattle, where he writes and speaks full time.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
