Glenn Reynolds presents a fascinating discussion with Ray Kurzweil on his book, The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. (Stephen recently provided a sneak preview of the same book.)

Read Glenn's interview, read Stephen's review, order the book. What are you waiting for?

And by the way, if you would like the chance to discuss the Singularity face-to-face with Kurzweil, along with Esther Dyson, Steve Jurvetson, Vernor Vinge, and dozens of other folks who are helping to shape our understanding of a rapidly emerging future, there's still time to sign up for Accelerating Change 2005.

Your Faithful Correspondent will also be there, hoping to meet up with one or two (or more?) regular Speculist readers.
