The Singularity Is Near
When Humans Transcend Biology
Book • 2005
In 'The Singularity Is Near', Ray Kurzweil discusses the concept of the technological singularity, where technological change becomes so rapid and profound that it transforms human civilization.
He predicts that by 2045, machine intelligence will exceed human intelligence, leading to a human-machine civilization where experiences shift from real to virtual reality.
Kurzweil envisions significant advancements in fields like nanotechnology, genetics, and robotics, which will solve issues such as human aging, pollution, world hunger, and poverty.
The book also considers the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes, maintaining a radically optimistic view of the future course of human development.
