Reply to Been reading Ray Kurzweil’s book “The Singularity is Near”. What should I read as a prerequisite to comprehend it? by Golfer345
If you want a science-fictional approach to the subject to lay out context, read “The Continuing Time” series of novels and short stories by Daniel Keys Moran. In particular the second novel in the series, The Long Run, delves into quite a bit of what Kurzweil talks about for a future. The Long Run was published in 1988, but holds up today. AFAIK, neither Moran nor Kurzweil had any effect on the others’ writing, but they line up pretty well.

Nice standing-up of a straw man to get people to discuss a heady topic.
