为什么值得读
- 探讨具备思考能力的机器所带来的影响
- 对计算机与网络技术的长远走向论证有力
- 提出人机融合反思近期太空旅行的独特论点
三十多年来，Ray Kurzweil 一直是探讨科技对人类未来作用领域中最受推崇、也最引人深思的倡导者之一。在其经典著作 The Age of Spiritual Machines 中，他曾提出计算机很快便能比肩人类巅峰水准的全面智能。如今，他开始审视这一不可逆转的演进历程的下一步：人机融合，将根植于我们大脑中的知识与技能，同我们造物所具备的远为庞大的容量、速度和知识共享能力结合在一起。

我觉得雷·库兹韦尔的书《奇点临近》（The Singularity is Near），对短期内的太空旅行提出了非常有说服力的反驳。没有什么比把生物体送入太空更荒谬的了。不如先甩掉我们身上的一些生物包袱，稍作融合……
I thought that R. Kurzweil's book, The Singularity is Near, really had a compelling argument against space travel in the short term. There's nothing more ridiculous than sending biological life into space. Let's shed some of our biological baggage, merge a little…
在我看来，相关的读物应该包括雷·库兹韦尔的《奇点临近》（The Singularity Is Near）和理查德·K·摩根的《副本》（Altered Carbon）。我敢打赌这里的每个人都知道前一本书。库兹韦尔对思考机器所产生后果的探讨非常引人入胜，但他对……的回应
IMHO, relevant reading would include The Singularity Is Near by Ray Kurzweil and Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan. I bet everyone here knows the former book. Kurzweil's exploration of the ramifications of thinking machines is fascinating, but his response to…
雷·库兹韦尔关于这一切的最新著作《奇点临近》（The Singularity is Near）于 2005 年出版。书中提出了一些很有说服力的论点，如果你对计算机技术和网络的长远影响感兴趣，绝对值得一读。他倒也没有全盘……
Ray Kurzweil's latest book about all this 'The Singularity is Near', was released in 2005. It has some compelling arguments is definitely worth a read if you are interesting in the longer term implications of computer technology and networking. He hasn't said all that…
肯定有很多，但我想到的有这么几本，排名不分先后，涵盖了虚构类和非虚构类：道金斯的《自私的基因》（The Selfish Gene）、沃尔夫勒姆的《一种新科学》（A New Kind of Science）、库兹韦尔的《奇点临近》（The Singularity is Near）、霍夫施塔特的《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫》（Gödel, Escher, Bach）、霍夫施塔特的《流动概念与创造性类比》（Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies）、兰德的《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》（Atlas Shrugged）、兰德的《源泉》（The Fountainhead）、奥威尔的《一九八四》（Nineteen Eighty-Four）、《物理学的困惑》（The Trouble With Physics……
I'm sure there are many, but a few that jump to mind, in no particular order, and spanning both fiction and non-fiction: The Selfish Gene - Dawkins A New Kind of Science - Wolfram The Singularity is Near - Kurzweil Gödel, Escher, Bach - Hofstadter Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies - Hofstadter Atlas Shrugged - Rand The Fountainhead - Rand Nineteen Eighty-Four - Orwell The Trouble With Physics…

……（优雅地架起了编程与数学之间的桥梁）。他的工作也与莱斯利·兰伯特的 TLA+ 项目紧密相关。兰伯特将 TLA+ 描述为“在代码之上思考”。2. 雷·库兹韦尔的《奇点临近》（The Singularity is near）。这更像是一本科普类的计算机科学书籍。我觉得没有哪本书能比它更好地阐明计算机真正的（乐观的）潜能了。它让我领略到了计算机的魅力……
…(the bridges the gap between programming and maths elegantly). His work is also closely related to that of Leslie Lamport's TLA+ project. Lamport describes TLA+ as "thinking above the code". 2. The Singularity is near by Ray Kurzweil. This is more of a popular computer science book. I don't any other book articulates the true (optimistic) potential of the computer better than this. It made me appreciate computers…
