The Singularity is Nearer. When We Merge with AI

The legendary oracle of technological change explains how AI will soon transform our minds and our species beyond all recognition. Within the next two decades, we will be able to connect our brains directly with Al, enhancing our intelligence a millionfold and expanding our consciousness in ways we can barely imagine. This is the Singularity. What will we do when our bodies no longer define us ? Who will we be when our minds can be stored and duplicated ? What new realms of beauty, connection and wonder might open up to us ? Ray Kurzweil is the world's longest-serving Al expert and one of the greatest inventors of our time.
Dozens of his predictions made decades ago - about the rise of the internet, Al and bioengineering - have been proven right. In this visionary book, Kurzweil draws on his lifetime's understanding to show us the Singularity in arresting detail : both how it will happen and what it will be like to inhabit this fast-approaching world of near-limitless possibility.
