Horizon

From the SL4 Lexicon:

Horizon:

Time on Earth just before the Singularity. Many Singularity analysts would argue that we are in the Horizon times right now (greater-than-human intelligence is likely to arrive relatively soon relative to historical timescales.) Singularitarians argue that the Horizon period is when we should be deliberately accelerating the Singularity and working out strategies to preserve its integrity.
