I was looking at the New Books list this morning and found The Singularity Is Near by Ray Kurzweil. The short synopsis reads as follows: Ray Kurzweil expands on his biological and technological growth to predict a singularity. So immediately upon reading that, I just get this strong image of Ray, personally, growing and growing.... Sorry, Pratik, but I can't help wishing that you had rewritten that. Just changing the word "his" to "human" would have improved it immensely - no pun intended. <grin>
