  For over three decades, Ray
Kurzweil has been one of the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future. In his
classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he argued that computers would soon rival the full range of human intelligence at
its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary process: the union of human and machine, in
which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains will be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and
knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.
  
  
  From Publishers Weekly
  Starred Review.
Renowned inventor Kurzweil (The Age of Spiritual Machines) may be technology's most credibly hyperbolic optimist.
Elsewhere he has argued that eliminating fat intake can prevent cancer; here, his quarry is the future of consciousness
and intelligence. Humankind, it runs, is at the threshold of an epoch ("the singularity," a reference to the theoretical
limitlessness of exponential expansion) that will see the merging of our biology with the staggering achievements of
"GNR" (genetics, nanotechnology and robotics) to create a species of unrecognizably high intelligence, durability,
comprehension, memory and so on. The word "unrecognizable" is not chosen lightly: wherever this is heading, it won't
look like us. Kurzweil's argument is necessarily twofold: it's not enough to argue that there are virtually no
constraints on our capacity; he must also convince readers that such developments are desirable. In essence, he
conflates the wholesale transformation of the species with "immortality," for which read a repeal of human limit. In
less capable hands, this phantasmagoria of speculative extrapolation, which incorporates a bewildering variety of
charts, quotations, playful Socratic dialogues and sidebars, would be easier to dismiss. But Kurzweil is a true
scientist—a large-minded one at that—and gives due space both to "the panoply of existential risks" as he
sees them and the many presumed lines of attack others might bring to bear. What's arresting isn't the degree to which
Kurzweil's heady and bracing vision fails to convince—given the scope of his projections, that's
inevitable—but the degree to which it seems downright plausible. (Sept.)

  From Bookmarks Magazine
  Kurzweil is one of the world’s most respected
thinkers and entrepreneurs. Yet the thesis he posits in Singularity is so singular that many readers will be
astounded—and perhaps skeptical. Think Blade Runner or Being John Malkovich magnified trillion-fold. Even if one
were to embrace his techno-optimism, which he backs up with fascinating details, Kurzweil leaves some important
questions relating to politics, economics, and morality unanswered. If machines in our bodies can rebuild cells, for
example, why couldn’t they be reengineered as weapons? Or think of singularity, notes the New York Times Book
Review, as the "Manhattan Project model of pure science without ethical constraints." Kurzweil’s vision requires
technology, which we continue to build. But it also requires mass acceptance and faith.
