A radical and optimistic view of the future course of human development from the bestselling writer of How to Create a Mind and The Age of Spiritual Machines who Bill Gates calls “the most productive person I know at predicting the way forward for artificial intelligence”

For over three decades, Ray Kurzweil has been probably the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future. In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he argued that computers would soon rival the whole range of human intelligence at its Best possible. Now he examines the next move on this inexorable evolutionary process: the union of human and machine, through which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains shall be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.
