I was in Ames, IA at their VR symposium in April and Ray Kurzweil was 
the capstone speaker and was promoting his recent book, The Singularity 
is Near...  I don't agree with most of what he concludes but I do 
believe most of his facts are right on...  I scored a signed copy... 
read about 2/3 of it before I got tired of thinking about how everyone 
probably wants to live forever...  at least Kurzweil does, even 
(especially) if as a disembodied digital version...
