The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology is a 2005 update of Raymond Kurzweil's 1999 book, The Age of Spiritual Machines and his 1987 book The Age of Intelligent Machines. In it, as in the two previous versions, Kurzweil attempts to give a glimpse of what awaits us in the near future. He discusses the coming technological singularity, and how we will be able to augment our bodies and minds with technology. He describes the singularity as resulting from a combination of three important technologies of the 21st century : genetics, nanotechnology, and robotics (including artificial intelligence).

@eric_andersen Kurzweil had an interesting aside in The Singularity is Near about why he thinks there is no other advanced intelligence.
