NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Celebrated futurist Ray Kurzweil, hailed by Bill Gates as “the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence,” presents an “elaborate, smart, and persuasive” (The Boston Globe) view of the future course of human development. “Artfully envisions a breathtakingly better world.”—Los Angeles Times “Startling in scope and bravado.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “An important book.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer At the onset of the twenty-first century, humanity stands on the verge of the most transforming and thrilling period in its history. It will be an era in which the very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity. While the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes will be profound, and the threats they pose considerable, The Singularity Is Near presents a radical and optimistic view of the coming age that is both a dramatic culmination of centuries of technological ingenuity and a genuinely inspiring vision of our ultimate destiny.

The noted inventor and futurist’s successor to his landmark book The Singularity Is Near explores how technology will transform the human race in the decades to come Since it was first published in 2005, Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity Is Near and its vision of an exponential future have spawned a worldwide movement. Kurzweil's predictions about technological advancements have largely come true, with concepts like AI, intelligent machines, and biotechnology now widely familiar to the public. In this entirely new book Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances toward the Singularity—assessing his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029 and examining the exponential growth of technology—that, in the near future, will expand human intelligence a millionfold and change human life forever. Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding the world, atom by atom with devices like nanobots; radical life extension beyond the current age limit of 120; reinventing intelligence by connecting our brains to the cloud; how exponential technologies are propelling innovation forward in all industries and improving all aspects of our well-being such as declining poverty and violence; and the growth of renewable energy and 3-D printing. He also considers the potential perils of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, including such topics of current controversy as how AI will impact employment and the safety of autonomous cars, and "After Life" technology, which aims to virtually revive deceased individuals through a combination of their data and DNA. The culmination of six decades of research on artificial intelligence, The Singularity Is Nearer is Ray Kurzweil’s crowning contribution to the story of this science and the revolution that is to come.

Singularity Hypotheses: A Scientific and Philosophical Assessment offers authoritative, jargon-free essays and critical commentaries on accelerating technological progress and the notion of technological singularity. It focuses on conjectures about the intelligence explosion, transhumanism, and whole brain emulation. Recent years have seen a plethora of forecasts about the profound, disruptive impact that is likely to result from further progress in these areas. Many commentators however doubt the scientific rigor of these forecasts, rejecting them as speculative and unfounded. We therefore invited prominent computer scientists, physicists, philosophers, biologists, economists and other thinkers to assess the singularity hypotheses. Their contributions go beyond speculation, providing deep insights into the main issues and a balanced picture of the debate.

The American Heritage Journal of Creativity (AHJC) is a biannual journal of research from American Heritage University of Southern California located in the San Bernardino County in California, USA. It is published twice in a year. It accepts creativity as going beyond the possession and use of artistic, musical or writing talent, but permeating throughout the curriculum, in science, social studies and other areas. Research works conducted in the academia without restriction to subject are invited. The objectives of AHJC are to disseminate internationally pragmatic academic research solutions in diverse disciplines that are functionally creative and relevant to community and universal issues. Essentially, the crucial requirement is that it has to be a research paper with empirical findings. AHJC provides a multidisciplinary forum for the publication of original research and technical papers, short communications, state-of-the-art developments in the liberal arts and sciences. Aside from articles, we also encourage prospective authors to submit book reviews, notes, short commentaries and full page relevant advertisements.

This book elaborates the author's original metaphysics, panenmentalism, focusing on novel aspects of the singularity of any person. Among these aspects, integrated in a systematic view, are: love and singularity; private, intersubjective, and public accessibility; multiple personality; freedom of will; akrasia; a way out of the empiricist-rationalist conundrum; the possibility of God; and some major moral questions.

One of the first-ever books on gender transition, this poignant memoir by a trans woman is “the best first-hand account ever written by a traveler across the boundaries of sex” (Newsweek). “A profoundly poetic story.” —The New York Times “An exquisite read.” —Maria Popova, The Marginalian The great travel writer Jan Morris was born James Morris. James Morris distinguished himself in the British military, became a successful and physically daring reporter, climbed mountains, crossed deserts, and established a reputation as a historian of the British empire. He was happily married, with several children. To all appearances, he was not only a man, but a man’s man. Except that appearances, as James Morris had known from early childhood, can be deeply misleading. James Morris had known all his conscious life that at heart he was a woman. Conundrum, one of the earliest books to discuss transsexuality with honesty and without prurience, tells the story of James Morris’ hidden life and how he decided to bring it into the open, as he resolved first on a hormone treatment and, second, on risky experimental surgery that would turn him into the woman that he truly was.

Big Bang The modern science of Cosmology has given us a model of the physical creation we know as the Universe. They call it the Cosmos. They say, and I agree, that Something, infinitely dense exploded around 13-14 billion years ago. They call it the Big Bang. They know nothing of that Something that exploded; nor can they ever know with their minds in the physical realm with its physical laws and math. In fact, they are a bit frustrated and embarrassed . . . so they call this enigma a Singularity. The author has solved this Singularity in his first book: Mystery of Being Black Holes and the Big Crunch This book is a sequel to the first. Another Singularity has really stumped and depressed them: Black Holes. In the center of every galaxy is an infinitely dense, mysterious Black Hole with an infinitely powerful gravity field. They do not give out any radiation; so they are invisible to the eye and to all modern instruments. Their most threatening feature is their devouring gravity field. Einsteins equations of his general theory of relativity predict that these Black Holes will eventually swallow up ALL the physical universe then collapse into each other and form the Big Crunch. Cosmologists sadly agree with Einstein. The destruction of the physical realm is inevitable. I sense a deep depression when I observe, study the brilliant minds since Einstein to today. I sense empty hopeless hearts. The men I studied are all atheists. They are mired in the physical realm. The author introduces the Supernatural Realm, with Superior Dimensions and a Superior Spectrum. The physical realm will be redeemed along with the souls who accept Gods Love! The author redefines gravity; also introduces a new Theory of SUPERNATURAL Relativity
