Emma Weine’s Reviews > The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology > Status Update

Thank you Ray Kurzweil; I now understand DNA soooooo much better!! (pg. 207)

It's a long read but fascinating. Certainly worth the effort to be informed about all this. I'm reading it slowing and digesting all of it - no speed reading this one.

Yep - I was right; after a bit of hard core maths he launches straight back into the good stuff! Kicking it off with a really good description/definition of the life cycle of a paradigm. Best one I've ever heard ...

I'm really, REALLY enjoying this book - it's utterly fascinating! I just hope beyond all hopes that Ray Kurzweil, the author (who is an inventor and an expert on predicting the future of artificial intelligence) lives long enough to see his predictions realised! Would that Ray is here to experience the Singularity himself!! It wouldn't be the same without him ...

Ok, the first third of this chapter is a bit heavy going in the mathematics for me, but still the subject is interesting enough to warrant struggling through it. I think he gets stuck back into the really juicy stuff in a page or two anyway ...

This is a FANTASTIC and a MUST read!!! Should be read by EVERYONE! Do yourself a massive favour and get yourself a copy of this eye/mind-opening book! If you only read one book this decade, make it this one!

Yuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!
