Nearly two decades after his landmark bestseller, futurist Ray Kurzweil returns to examine our rapid approach toward the “Singularity”—the point at which human intelligence merges with artificial intelligence. This direct sequel to The Singularity Is Near (2005) provides updated data and fresh insights into how biotechnology, nanotechnology, and AI are currently transforming every aspect of our lives. Kurzweil reassesses his famous predictions, including the arrival of human-level AI by 2029 and the 2045 threshold for a millionfold expansion of human consciousness through brain-cloud interfaces.

Ray Kurzweil is the field of AI's longest-serving expert, the inventor of numerous world-changing technologies and the author of several best-selling books. The Age of Spiritual Machines (1999) and The Singularity is Near (2005), in which he first predicted that computers would reach human level intelligence by 2029 and outlined his vision of the merging of human and artificial intelligence, have together inspired several major films, hundreds of books and thousands of articles. Many of his inventions, such as text and speech recognition, and vocal and musical synthesizers, have enabled breakthroughs in communication between humans and computers.
