Singularity really close

Hey. My name is Mark and I translate and adapt and interpret the book by R. Kurzweil “The Singularity Is Near”. If Kurzweil is not familiar to you and you first heard about Singularity - see what others think about it:

“Ray Kurzweil gives the most accurate predictions of artificial intelligence and the future, from any known to me. His book intriguingly tells about the near future, in which information technologies will advance so far and so quickly that it will allow humanity to go beyond biological limitations and change our view in ways that we cannot yet imagine. ”

- Bill Gates

“Anyone can understand the main idea of ​​Kurzweil: the technology of humanity is developing in the same way as a snowball grows, which means fantastic prospects in the near future. This is understandable to all. But for the more inquisitive, there are interesting details and details .... "

- The New York Times

“An exciting and extremely deep look at humanity as a species. Kurzweil is a brilliant scientist and futurist ... "

- The New York Sun

This is the reference book of any "true believer" technocrat, transhumanist and futurophile, in a nutshell. This book is considered the best work of Kurzweil and one of the best books describing the near future of mankind as a biological species.


By a ridiculous coincidence, this wonderful book has not yet been translated into Russian, which personally distresses me. Therefore, I decided not to sit back and take matters under my responsibility. But having searched the Internet, I realized that if I made a detailed translation, it would be a real crime. With consequences in the form of court, fine and possibly prison (especially knowing our justice). I still do not want to break the law, even without taking into account the consequences.

At Librusek I was prompted by the original way out, which can minimize the threat of thermorectal recognition and judgment. Its meaning is that I can use all the ideas and thoughts of Kurzweil, but not with his words, while recognizing his authorship. Legally, this is my personal book in which I adapt and interpret the ideas of Kurzweil. Because of copyright, I have to cut out some pieces of a book, so it loses its artistic value for the reader. However, I try to save all the meanings and ideas of transhumanism, then to convey to you.

Translation adaptation began three weeks ago. In fact, the work goes online. And I always scatter my contacts to get feedback from people and correct mistakes. So here you have my soap, romul doggy ymail.com for feedback or email me on VK .

After completion, the book will go into free access to torrents, book sites and other sites, so that everyone can read it. Legally this will be my personal book, and it will be Copyleft. So in its downloading and distribution will not be anything criminal. Read on health!

The third third chapter is now available. And in a week there will be a fourth one. So, I adapt the whole book so that every Russian-speaking fan of transhumanism and technology has the opportunity to read about what awaits us in the very near future.
