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.

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