The Revolution of Thought. On the Threshold of Singularity. How Technologies Will Change Society and Consciousness

A famous inventor and futurist predicts how technology will change humanity in the near future.

What changes await us (or not):
— the growth of technology, which will increase human intelligence a million times;
— the restructuring of the world with the help of nanobots;
— extending life beyond 120 years;
— connecting our brains to the "cloud";
— virtual resurrection of the dead through data and DNA.

Kurtzweil analyzes his previous predictions and considers the further impact of technology on humanity. He touches upon themes of radical life extension, nanomedicine, the growth of renewable energy sources, and many others, as well as warns about the dangers associated with the rapid development of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and AI.

"The book by inventor and visionary Ray Kurzweil is a profound analysis of a future that has already arrived but is still unevenly distributed. The author shows how the exponential development of technology is changing society, and artificial intelligence is becoming an integral part of human intelligence. He meticulously examines the philosophical and economic implications of these changes. This is required reading for anyone interested in the impact of technology on our lives"
