Ray Kurzweil is the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence -- BILL GATES A fascinating exploration of our future, which raises the most profound philosophical questions Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity Is Nearer is to information technology what Charles Darwin’s Origin of the Species was to life science – a cogent, fact-based, clear-eyed, multi-disciplinary exposition of a fundamental truth about the world.
