Haha. Just kidding. Ray Kurzweil’s new book, The Singularity is Near is just so… meh. It’s not even good enough to bother providing you guys a link to it.
To those not in the know, you should look up the Singularity on wikipedia. It’s basically a futurist hoax preached by this dude Ray, who thinks humanity is going to ascend to technological godhood in the next 200 years. He makes all these grand predictions based on past trends, and blindly extrapolates them into the future.
Beyond that, my secondary complaint is that his theory exacerbates the problem Fermi Paradox — to the point where the chance of us existing is basically zero.
