Book: The Singularity is Near

So ... i finally got through this book.   before i say more: Read this.   you'll be enlightened, scared, happy, motivated, and looking forward to living forever. 

The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil

many months ago, Renee Blodgett sent me this book.   Renee is a PR star and she does PR for Kurzweil.   she does a great job because i would have never read the book if she did not ask me to and either would all the others. 

but i'm glad i did.   this is one of the most thought-provoking books i have read in the last 5 years.   it is big, fat, weighty, long, and has an ugly cover.   but you should still read it.   it is extremely powerful.

i won't re-review it (there are some terrific reviews at Amazon) -- it did inspire my post The Council of Elders -- but take my word for it and read it over ...
