The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology by Ray Kurzweil
4.0
A key book in the trans-human philosophical development: Ray Kurzweil unleashes the thesis that by 2032 we would hit a point of no return with respect of machine intelligence. The book is a must read even if much of it is subject to discussion.
Philosophically the most interesting aspect is that computational power is automatically aligned with intelligence and with sustainable existence. While many of the discussions since this work note how coexistence with general AI might be impossible, that exponential growth may damage the environment, that intelligence in the true sense should account for all other conscious versions of itself.
