Book shelf

This page is a work in progress – I’m just figuring out how to do it. In the meantime, I recomend you check out one of the following books until it’s done :>

The Spike: How Our Lives Are Being Transformed By Rapidly Advancing Technologies

I recomend this book to pretty much everyone. While it’s nowhere near as well known as Kurzweil’s ‘Singularity is Near’, it’s more accessible and a much better introduction. Everyone I’ve given it to consumed the thing, whereas the few people I’ve gifted Kurzweil’s tome to have yet to get past the first chapter.

The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology

That said, Kurzweil’s book is popular for good reason: it’s a good book. Much more detail oriented – still concise, but covering more ground.

Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid

This is another book I would like everyone to read. It took me multiple attempts, because it’s a very heady book, but it was well worth it. To call Hofstatder is genius is to complement geniuses.
