[FRIAM] 100 billion neurons

[Martin C. Martin]

I suspect you'd like Hans Moravec's books:

He uses Moore's law and estimates of the brain's computing power to 
calculate when we'll have human equivalence in "a computer."  I forget 
the date, but it's not far.  He also talks about a number of very 
interesting consequences of this.
