## Summary

A human brain runs on twenty watts. A GPU cluster training a frontier language model draws several megawatts. The gap is six orders of magnitude. Neuromorphic computing is the proposition that closing it is possible — and that the architectural recipe is brain-like rather than von-Neumann. Key sections include: Neuro morphic.; opening What if computers worked like brains?; chapter i Carver Mead's bet.; chapter ii The basic primitive.; chapter iii How spiking networks learn.; chapter iv IBM's 2014 chip.; chapter v Intel Loihi 1 & 2.; chapter vi Manchester's million-core machine.; chapter vii Heidelberg's analogue path.; chapter viii Event-based vision..
