Meatbot's Guide to the Technological Singularity (ePub)

Put on your crash helmet. Put on your goggles. But definitely grab your copy of the Meatbot's Guide. This insightful and entertaining book explains why your coffee table is talking to you. It explains why nobody works and everybody's happy. It explains the Technological Singularity, the anticipated mid-twenty-first century rise of superhuman intelligence. Granted, that's human intelligence being used as a benchmark. Not very impressive, I know. But that's just the start. Either way, the Singularity is coming and soon. You'll be here for it. And with superhuman intelligence, you get some goodies. It's pretty minor stuff. So don't get too excited. But we're talking:--The rising of sentient (as in, alive) superhumanly intelligent computers. --Full planetary automation. --Everyone having off-the-charts IQs. --Better-than-the-real-thing imaginations. --Reverse-aging therapies. --Bonsai safari animals in your home. --Fully immersive simulated reality. --Mind and memory sharing with your friends. If those things aren't your cup of tea, consider that:--The Singularity has already happened. --You are already in a computer simulation of Earth history ... right now. --Death is just a temporary shutoff, and one you'll never notice. Indeed you can't die. In fun and easy-to-understand terms, the Meatbot's Guide takes you to and through the Singularity. At the very least, it has a few pretty charts and graphs. Do I have your attention now?! You're about to get a whole lot smarter (from the book I mean, not just the Singularity). You know you want it!
