The Story of the 21st Century: Q&A with Ray Kurzweil
Tired of your too, too solid flesh? Mild-mannered
inventor Ray Kurzweil tells you how to scan your
mind into a computer and live forever.
(I haven't yet read these but one quick note: the opening blurb for the
second piece says:
Ray Kurzweil created a hubbub with his idea that we will soon be
able to "download" ourselves into machines and live forever.
Even in an MIT publication the notion of uploading (here misnamed) is
basically credited to Kurzweil. There's really no excuse. Whatever the
case, he---and uploading---are certainly receiving more and more attention
all the time.)
