    H. F. Saint, author of Memoirs of an Invisible Man, talks with Don Swaim in this 1987 interview about how Saint conceived the idea to write a book about an invisible man. To H. F. Saint’s surprise, the book was later made into a movie. One of the hardest challenges was how to portray an invisible man on screen. This book became popular enough that H. F. Saint is able to be a full time writer. Listen to this and more in this 1987 interview.

  3. Big Picture Science

    Wired for Thought — A cup of coffee can leave you wired for the day. But a chip in your brain could wire you to a machine forever. Imagine manipulating a mouse without moving a muscle, and doing a Google search with your mind. Welcome to the future of the brain-machine interface. Don your EEG thinking-cap, and discover a high-tech thought game that may be the harbinger of machine relationships to come. Plus, the ultimate mapping project: the Human Connectdome Project aims to identify all the neural pathways in the human brain. It may help us understand what makes us human, but could it also point the way to making us smarter? And, what all this brain research reveals about the mind and free will – who, or what, is really in charge?
