The age of spiritual machines
when computers exceed human intelligence
by Ray Kurzweil
In this controversial book, the author looks at what the next century holds for the computer and the species that invented it. By 2020 computers will equal the capacity of the human brain, people will have relationships with virtual personalities and by the end of the century there will be no clear distinction between computers and people.

Work Description
Imagine a world where the difference between man and machine blurs, where the line between humanity and technology fades, and where the soul and the silicon chip unite. This is not science fiction. This is the twenty-first century according to Ray Kurzweil. (From the back cover of the Penguin 2000 edition.)
