Default [RS] Singularity And The Future Lectures

Ok, this wasn't an audiobook release but is the audio of three lectures from Bill Joy, Ray Kurzweil (the originator of the idea of the singularity) & Bruce Sterling.

Whether or not you accept the premise of Kurweil's idea (I don't, for a number of reasons but primarily power/scaling issues and lack of chaotic development, ie. "natural" selection), these are three fascinating speakers and well worthwhile.

1. The Dark Future - Bill Joy
Given at the Commonwealth Club, his lecture focuses on the 'imminent' perils that new technology is going to bring us.

2. The Sunny Future - Ray Kurzweil
Infinite life, artificial blood cells that will allow you to swim underwater for hours; you name it, the future has it. This talk was given at the Long Now foundation.

3. The Real Future - Bruce Sterling
Bringing us all back down from the clouds with his clever wit and charm, Bruce Sterling talks about what this upcoming singularity will look like when it arrives; if it even arrives at all. Also given at the Long Now Foundation.

Enjoy.
Thanks, as always, appreciated.
