À propos de cet audio

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Celebrated futurist Ray Kurzweil, hailed by Bill Gates as “the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence,” presents an “elaborate, smart, and persuasive” (The Boston Globe) view of the future course of human development.

“Artfully envisions a breathtakingly better world.”—Los Angeles Times
“Startling in scope and bravado.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
“An important book.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

At the onset of the twenty-first century, humanity stands on the verge of the most transforming and thrilling period in its history. It will be an era in which the very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity.

While the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes will be profound, and the threats they pose considerable, The Singularity Is Near presents a radical and optimistic view of the coming age that is both a dramatic culmination of centuries of technological ingenuity and a genuinely inspiring vision of our ultimate destiny.

Kurzweil covers all 3 but seemed particularly preoccupied by nanotechnology by my reading. It was all the rage late in 90s and early 00s but hasn’t been as visible as advances in AI and genetics in recent years

Genetics, Nanotechnology, and Robotics but mostly Nanotechnology

an interesting hypothesis, a way of looking to a future full of hope and such. I do not buying, but for each their own dream guess. Seems silly to give up on God to become a second rate one yourself. not the singularity I dream of. more akin to Buddhism than Christianity. but might be the source of some folks thinking Bill Gates is going to inject robots to control us with the Vivid vaccine (he isn't by the way)

interesting theory

Poor quality very robotic and digital sounding. Ill be seeking a refund. The narrator is very monotonous. Sounds like a crappy AI reading it.

Terrible Audio
