About the Book

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.)

Excerpts

The universe is made of stories, not atoms. - Muriel Rukseyer
Page 9, added by George. "Kurzweil is careful to talk about context and how that affects knowledge. Raw information is different."
As we start at the beginning, we will notice an unusual attribute of the nature of time, one that is critical to our passage to the twenty-first century.
added by George. "First sentence."
