Advance Praise for THE PLEASURE SHOCK
"The Pleasure Shock is an illuminating expose on yet another dark, misunderstood time in our medical past. I could not put this book down." -Paul Ruggieri MD, author of Confessions of a Surgeon
"The Pleasure Shock is not only a fascinating biography of brain-implant pioneer Robert Heath. It also explores a profound and disturbing question: Can we, and should we, use technology to eradicate suffering and evil?"
-John Horgan, Director, Center for Science Writings, Stevens Institute of Technology, and author of The End of Science
