在《奇點臨近》中，庫茲韋爾通過將進化劃分為六大紀元，探討和分析瞭科學發展趨勢。演繹並預測瞭科技發展的未來。他大膽預測： 

21世紀30年代：人類大腦信息上傳成為可能 

21世紀40年代：人體3.0升級版齣現：通過基因、納米、機器人技術使人體進化成非肉體的、可以隨意變形的形態。人們大多數時間沉浸在虛擬現實裏（像電影《黑客帝國》所描述的那樣）。 

2045年：奇點來臨，人工智能完全人類智能，人類曆史將徹底改變。 

2045年之後：宇宙覺醒，為瞭計算機的局限性。人機智能將物質轉化為超級計算機，*終整個宇宙變成一個超級智能，這種智能可以改變目前已知的物理定律。實現不同維度空間的穿越，並實現人類真正的永生。

讓我們捧讀這《奇點臨近》，領略作者的大膽推測和嚴謹論證，共同期待奇點臨近

內容簡介

For over three decades, Ray Kurzweil has been one of 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 full range of human intelligence at its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary process: the union of human and machine, in which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains will be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.

《奇點臨近》是一本有思維方法論啓示的書；是一本站在曆史的高度，正麵思考科技力量的書；是一本充滿想象與預言，但又不失科學論證的書。《奇點臨近》提供瞭一個嶄新的視角：21世紀既是數百年以來科技、創意的頂點，又是對人類命運真摯的願景。

《奇點臨近》特點：奇特與警示的結論，書中六個紀元的劃分奇特又富於哲理；嚴謹與獨特的論述方法，通過分析科學發展趨勢，演繹並預測未來；警世之語與探討性對話，通過智者的眼睛去審視自然、科學以及世界；章尾與未來的對話，是一種思想的博弈：通過設想中的未來去理解當今的技術發展和進化中的人類。

媒體推薦

A pleasure to read. -- The Wall Street Journal

Artfully envisions a breathtakingly better world. -- Los Angeles Times

Startling in scope and bravado. -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times

The best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence -- Bill Gates

“Anyone can grasp Mr. Kurzweil’s main idea: that mankind’s technological knowledge has been snowballing, with dizzying prospects for the future. The basics are clearly expressed. But for those more knowledgeable and inquisitive, the author argues his case in fascinating detail…. The Singularity Is Near is startling in scope and bravado.”

—Janet Maslin, The New York Times

“Filled with imaginative, scientifically grounded speculation…. The Singularity Is Near is worth reading just for its wealth of information, all lucidly presented…. [It’s] an important book. Not everything that Kurzweil predicts may come to pass, but a lot of it will, and even if you don’t agree with everything he says, it’s all worth paying attention to.”

—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“[An] exhilarating and terrifyingly deep look at where we are headed as a species…. Mr. Kurzweil is a brilliant scientist and futurist, and he makes a compelling and, indeed, a very moving case for his view of the future.”

—The New York Sun

“Compelling.”

—San Jose Mercury News

“Kurzweil links a projected ascendance of artificial intelligence to the future of the evolutionary process itself. The result is both frightening and enlightening…. The Singularity Is Near is a kind of encyclopedic map of what Bill Gates once called ‘the road ahead.’”

—The Oregonian

“A clear-eyed, sharply-focused vision of the not-so-distant future.”

—The Baltimore Sun

“This book offers three things that will make it a seminal document. 1) It brokers a new idea, not widely known, 2) The idea is about as big as you can get: the Singularity—all the change in the last million years will be superceded by the change in the next five minutes, and 3) It is an idea that demands informed response. The book’s claims are so footnoted, documented, graphed, argued, and plausible in small detail, that it requires the equal in response. Yet its claims are so outrageous that if true, it would mean … well … the end of the world as we know it, and the beginning of utopia. Ray Kurzweil has taken all the strands of the Singularity meme circulating in the last decades and has united them into a single tome which he has nailed on our front door. I suspect this will be one of the most cited books of the decade. Like Paul Ehrlich’s upsetting 1972 book Population Bomb, fan or foe, it’s the wave at epicenter you have to start with.”

—Kevin Kelly, founder of Wired

“Really, really out there. Delightfully so.”
