"If
you want to know where artificial intelligence—and our society—will be in 20
years, read The Singularity Is Nearer today. The implications that
visionary genius Ray Kurzweil describes in this book are so extraordinary and
far-reaching, we must begin understanding these and planning now. Highly
recommended!"

My view of the future has been forever impacted by Ray Kurzweil. Twenty-four years ago, he predicted AI would reach human-level intelligence by 2029. His vision seemed like a dream and yet here we are, right on track. This book will challenge everything you know about technology, life, and death. It will light you up with answers to today’s most pressing questions about artificial intelligence and the future of humanity.

"The Singularity Is Nearer may
be the single most important contribution to understanding the valuable roles
of AI and nanotechnology. With clarity, Ray Kurzweil tells a tale of
evolving information processes that are reinventing intelligence. This
captivating sequence of historical events and rigorously researched facts are
a worthy and positive ethos for humanity’s future."
