About this product

Product Information

Ray Kurzweil is the inventor of the most innovative and compelling technology of our era, an international authority on artificial intelligence, and one of our greatest living visionaries. Now he offers a framework for envisioning the twenty-first century--an age in which the marriage of human sensitivity and artificial intelligence fundamentally alters and improves the way we live. Kurzweil's prophetic blueprint for the future takes us through the advances that inexorably result in computers exceeding the memory capacity and computational ability of the human brain by the year 2020 (with human-level capabilities not far behind); in relationships with automated personalities who will be our teachers, companions, and lovers; and in information fed straight into our brains along direct neural pathways. Optimistic and challenging, thought-provoking and engaging, The Age of Spiritual Machines is the ultimate guide on our road into the next century.

I like sci-fi. I like big ideas. I liked this book.
The Age of Spiritual Machines lays out in easy to understand terms a future in which machine have surpassed their human counterparts. Depending on your point of view this is wonderful or terrible. Ray Kurzweil does a good job of presenting complex topics like quantum computing and neural science in a manner easily understood by the layman. Ray falls short in not presenting his prognostications and understanding of the physical universe as a belief. In that regard he is pretentious, but if you read most of his supposed factual statements as belief statements, his pretention does not hinder the experience. If you're looking for an easy to read, hard to understand, and thorough examination of what many are now referring to as the "singularity", this book is for you.
