In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he [Ray Kurzweil] presented the daring argument that with the ever-accelerating rate of technological change, computers would rival the full range of human intelligence at its best. Now, in The Singularity Is Near, 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 own creations.


nanotechnology, marriage of man with machine... already the aging process has been slowed in rats... i for one welcome our new machine overlords

Quote from Blindsight, a novel by Peter Watts

"Maybe the Singularity happened years ago. We just don't want to admit we were left behind."
