Singularity

Books about the theorized technological singularity.
The technological singularity is a theoretical future point that takes place during a period of unprecedented technological progress sometime after the creation of a Superintelligence.
This bookshelf contains both fiction and non-fiction, some dealing directly with the topic, some indirectly.

Note: There is also a Goodreads group by the same title. The bookshelf in that group is not the same as this list, although the two should be largely congruent.

(See wikipedia for more information on the topic and many other links.)

The Singularity Is Nearer: When We Merge with AI
Lucy Grealy
“ This singularity of meaning--I was my face, I was ugliness--though sometimes unbearable, also offered a possible point of escape. It became the launching pad from which to lift off, the one immediately recognizable place to point to when asked what was wrong with my life. Everything led to it, everything receded from it--my face as personal vanishing point. ”
― Lucy Grealy, Autobiography of a Face

Mohith Agadi
“ I do not believe the singularity is the greatest threat Al poses to humanity right now. The more serious risks we face today stem from how we are already developing and using these systems. ”
― Mohith Agadi
