This essay is a partial critique of neuroscience, perhaps. Or at least it attempts to poke holes through the way in which we analogize brains and computers.

“The purpose of this essay is not to argue whether the brain is a computer or not. Rather, it is to point out that the Computational Metaphor(which is debated frequently and publicly by brain researchers) has tangible and important social ramifications which have received little attention from brain researchers.”

A concept/field that is mentioned, and that I need to investigate further, is conceptual metaphor theory.
