    i’m a little over a hundred pages into Kurzweil’s The Singularity is Near, the book that apparently inspired this documentary. Mister K is a bit repetitive, but nothing if not frighteningly logical. at this point, I have no idea if I’m skeptic or a Singularian…

    if nothing else the book is worth reading for Kurzweil’s precious fictional nerd dialogs between himself, a woman named Molly in 2004, Molly in 2104, a man named George in 2048, Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud, and various other characters of intrigue.

    I saw Transcendent Man two weeks ago at the Tribeca Film Festival. It was one of the best film experiences of my entire life… My friends and I can not stop talking about it.
