A radical and optimistic view of the future course of human development from the bestselling author of How to Create a Mind and The Age of Spiritual Machines who Bill Gates calls “the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence”For over three decades, Ray Kurzweil has been one of the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future. In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he argued that computers would soon rival the full range of human intelligence at its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary process: the union of human and machine, in which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains will be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.

英文水平不够，得慢慢啃，细细嚼。智慧与思维的盛宴。
Opinions on this book are extreme. From delight to devastating criticism. Nevertheless, I decided to read The Singularity is Near. I do not regret.
I do not agree with everything he writes Ray Kurzweil theories, some parts are inconclusive, but on the other hand, what would be the sense reading only those books and a selection of these authors, with which I agree one hundred percent? Polemics, if constructive allows for intellectual development.
Although Ray Kurzweil's forecasts seem exaggerated, and his foresight is limited to one scenario that monumentality, a wide range of thematic GNR (Genetics, Nanotechnology, Robotics) fascinates and eliminates dimensional, hurray-optimistic vision.
The Singularity is Near moments can be associated with a science fiction novel, with an emphasis on science. Fans of the genre (cyberpunk) will not be disappointed. This of course does not take away the value of the book, but it adds.
