Ray Kurzweil
From the SL4 Lexicon:
Kurzweil, Dr. Ray:
Well-known futurist who speculates on a merger between humans and "machines" in the near future. Dr. Kurzweil analyzes various accelerating trends and extrapolates them to come to the conclusion that there will be a Singularity sometime around 2029. (It is projected that around that time, extremely high-resolution brain scans will be possible, allowing us to run human brains on computers, but this projection neglects the possibility of a sooner Singularity through understanding of the characteristics of intelligence before extremely high detail brain scans arrive.) Kurzweil is an author, inventor, and entrepreneur. Past works include "The Age of Intelligent Machines" and "The Age of Spiritual Machines" (which has ranked #1 on Amazon.com for the category of "technology"). Kurzweil will be publishing his next book, "The Singularity is Near", in Spring 2004. Personal website: http://www.kurzweiltech.com/aboutray.html. Popular website: http://www.kurzweilai.net.
