The legendary oracle of technological change explains how AI will transform our species beyond recognition within two decades. 'The best person I know at predicting the future of AI' BILL GATES 'Essential reading to understand our exponential times' MUSTAFA SULEYMAN 'Fascinating . . . raises the most profound philosophical questions' YUVAL NOAH HARARI What will it mean to live free from the limits of our bodies? Who will we become if our minds can be stored and duplicated? What new realms of beauty, connection and wonder might we inhabit? How will we navigate the risks presented by such awesomely powerful technology? By the end of this decade, AI will exceed human levels of intelligence. During the 2030s, it will become 'superintelligent', vastly outstripping our capabilities and enabling dramatic interventions in our bodies. By 2045, we will be able to connect our brains directly with AI, enhancing our intelligence a millionfold and expanding our consciousness in ways we can barely imagine. This is the Singularity. Ray Kurzweil is one of the greatest inventors of our time with over 60 years' experience in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Dozens of his long-range predictions about the rise of the internet, AI and bioengineering have been borne out. In this visionary and fundamentally optimistic book, Kurzweil explains how the Singularity will occur, explores what it will mean to live free from the limits of biology and argues that we can and will transform life on Earth profoundly for the better. 'The greatest oracle of our digital age' PETER H. DIAMANDIS, founder of XPRIZE 'Curious about the future? Read this book' VINT CERF, Chief Internet Evangelist, Google
Advance Praise for The Singularity is Nearer:
Ray Kurzweil s The Singularity Is Nearer is to information technology what Charles Darwin s Origin of the Species was to life science a cogent, fact-based, clear-eyed, multi-disciplinary exposition of a fundamental truth about the world. Just as Darwin demonstrated that all life branched from eons of antecedent roots, Kurzweil shows that epochs of compounding information processing is resulting in a merger of humanity and computational software. The Singularity Is Nearer reads like a thriller because it honestly presents each of the perils of accelerating AI, but then, like an aircraft coming out of a storm, exquisitely lands the reader at a hopeful future filled with economic opportunity and ever-longer life. Kurzweil leaves no stone unturned in his examination of the employment, national security and personal well-being aspects of the coming singularity of AI, and the book is packed with directly relevant graphs, statistics and references. Best of all, Ray has given each of us in this book an observatory into the human mind a personal telescope that lets each of us see better than ever just how our own minds work, what our own consciousness really is, why our merger with AI is inevitable, how it will practically occur and why humanity will be by far the better off as a result. There can be no more salient guide to the next two decades of life than The Singularity Is Nearer.

My view of the future has been forever impacted by Ray Kurzweil. Twenty-four years ago, he predicted AI would reach human-level intelligence by 2029. His vision seemed like a dream and yet here we are, right on track. This book will challenge everything you know about technology, life, and death. It will light you up with answers to today s most pressing questions about artificial intelligence and the future of humanity.

If you want to know where artificial intelligence and our society will be in 20 years, read The Singularity Is Nearer today. The implications that visionary genius Ray Kurzweil describes in this book are so extraordinary and far-reaching, we must begin understanding these and planning now. Highly recommended!

"Ray Kurzweil is the greatest oracle of our digital age. The Singularity Is Nearer is more than just a book it's a survival guide for the technological renaissance we're about to experience. Ray s accurate projections of what is likely to happen and when, makes the difference between surfing atop the tsunami of change, versus being crushed by it."
Peter H. Diamandis, MD, New York Times Bestselling author, Founder, XPRIZE, Singularity
"The Singularity Is Nearer may be the single most important contribution to understanding the valuable roles of AI and nanotechnology. With clarity, Ray Kurzweil tells a tale of evolving information processes that are reinventing intelligence. This captivating sequence of historical events and rigorously researched facts are a worthy and positive ethos for humanity s future."
Natasha Vita-More, Author Transhumanist Manifesto, Co-creator of the Transhumanist Movement, Founder, Center for Transhumanist Studies
"Wow! Without question, this is Ray Kurzweil s best book to date. It s a page-turner with unimpeachable gravitas and authority on genetics, nanotechnology, robotics, and the future. He handles the pluses and minuses of the near-term impact of the coming singularity on jobs with great skill and tact. The book is a towering accomplishment."
