The Brain Changers: Scientists and the New Mind Control chronicles the groundbreaking — and deeply controversial — research of the 1970s, when a new generation of researchers began unlocking the brain's secrets through electrodes, psychoactive drugs, and behavioral conditioning, raising profound questions about who holds the power to alter human thought, emotion, and will.\n\nPines writes with the sharp clarity of an investigative journalist and the intellectual rigor of a seasoned science communicator, guiding readers through laboratories and ethical minefields with equal confidence. The work argues that the rapid acceleration of neuroscientific capability outpaced society's moral frameworks, a warning that reverberates with even greater urgency today. Chosen as a Book-of-the-Month Club selection upon its release, this landmark work sits at the crossroads of science, politics, and personal freedom — and dares the reader to ask who, ultimately, should be permitted to control the human mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203381960923,"sku":"2026200013474-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d4907777-c7dc-4848-9cea-8167674012e9.png?v=1788148114","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013474-secondhand-the-brain-changers-scientists-and-the-new-mind-control","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
