AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND ONE OF TIME’S 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, this book by a noted inventor and futurist explores how technology will transform humanity in the coming decades. Since its initial publication in 2005, the author’s vision of an exponential future has sparked a global movement, with many of his predictions about technological advancements, such as AI and biotechnology, now commonplace. In this new work, he reassesses his 1999 prediction that AI will achieve human-level intelligence by 2029 and examines the exponential growth of technology, which may amplify human intelligence a millionfold and forever alter life. Key topics include rebuilding the world atom by atom with nanobots, radical life extension beyond 120 years, and connecting our brains to the cloud to reinvent intelligence. He highlights how exponential technologies are driving innovation across industries while improving well-being, reducing poverty and violence, and advancing renewable energy and 3-D printing. The author also addresses potential dangers of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and AI, discussing their implications for employment, autonomous vehicle safety, and "After Life" technology aimed at virtually reviving the deceased. This work represents the culmination of six decades of research in artificial intelligence and stands as a significant contribution to the narrative of this evolving science

After Shock marks the 50-year anniversary of Alvin Toffler's, Future Shock .

Exploring the intersection of spirituality and ethics, this volume delves into critical questions surrounding human enhancement and artificial intelligence. Contributors examine the implications of technological advancements on human identity, addressing topics such as the limits of biological improvement, the nature of AI personhood, and the spiritual dimensions of artificial intelligence. With insights from both established and emerging thinkers, the book offers a comprehensive look at the ethical landscape of our evolving relationship with technology and its impact on humanity.

Novel tells the story of a precocious young girl who uses her intelligence and accelerating technology to solve humanity's grandest challenges. Now if only we can find more courageous visionaries like Danielle. Written as an alternative history, Danielle's journey as a driven young girl brings her face to face with many important figures from recent history and our modern world. Told through the eyes of Danielle's equally remarkable sister Claire, a girl adopted from Haiti after surviving the earthquake, this story shows all readers a hopeful vision of humanity's future - and how to achieve it. The novel features 24 graphic novel style illustrations, one for each year of Danielle's life. Accompanying the novel are two nonfiction companion books by the author. How You Can Be a Danielle is a call to action, providing pragmatic, thought-provoking and clear guidance on how readers can be inspired to emulate Danielle and help bring about a better world. A Chronicle of Ideas: A Guide for Superheroines (and Superheroes) provides Kurzweil's and Danielle's unique spin on 282 concepts presented in the novel. Publisher

The bold futurist and bestselling author explores the limitless potential of reverse-engineering the human brain Ray Kurzweil is arguably today's most influential--and often controversial--futurist. In "How to Create a Mind," Kurzweil presents a provocative exploration of the most important project in human-machine civilization--reverse engineering the brain to understand precisely how it works and using that knowledge to create even more intelligent machines. Kurzweil discusses how the brain functions, how the mind emerges from the brain, and the implications of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence in addressing the world's problems. He thoughtfully examines emotional and moral intelligence and the origins of consciousness and envisions the radical possibilities of our merging with the intelligent technology we are creating. Certain to be one of the most widely discussed and debated science books of the year, "How to Create a Mind" is sure to take its place alongside Kurzweil's previous classics which include "Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever" and "The Age of Spiritual Machines."

In Transcend, famed futurist Ray Kurzweil and his coauthor Terry Grossman, MD, present a cutting edge, accessible program based on the vanguard in nutrition and science. They’ve distilled thousands of scientific studies to make the case that new developments in medicine and technology will allow us to radically extend our life expectancies and slow the aging process. Transcend gives you the practical tools you need to live long enough (and remain healthy long enough) to take full advantage of the biotech and nanotech advances that have already begun and will continue to occur at an accelerating pace during the years ahead. To help you remember the nine key components of the program, Ray and Terry have arranged them into a mnemonic: Talk with your doctor, Relaxation, Assessment, Nutrition, Supplements, Calorie reduction, Exercise, New technologies, Detoxification. This easy-to-follow program will help you transcend the boundaries of your genetic legacy and live long enough to live forever.

“Startling in scope and bravado.” —Janet Maslin,  The New York Times“Artfully envisions a breathtakingly better world.” — Los Angeles Times“Elaborate, smart and persuasive.” — The Boston Globe“A pleasure to read.” — The Wall Street JournalOne of  CBS News ’s Best Fall Books of 2005  •  Among  St Louis Post-Dispatch ’s Best Nonfiction Books of 2005  •  One of Amazon.com’s Best Science Books of 2005A radical and optimistic view of the future course of human development from t he bestselling author of  How to Create a Mind and The Singularity is Nearer  who Bill Gates calls “the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence”For over three decades, Ray Kurzweil has been one of the most respected and provocative advocates of the role of technology in our future. In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines , he argued that computers would soon rival the full range of human intelligence at its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary the union of human and machine, in which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains will be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.

A controversial scientific vision predicts a time in which humans and machines will merge and create a new form of non-biological intelligence, explaining how the occurrence will solve such issues as pollution, hunger, and aging
