Books on or related to the Singularity

These are all books and major I have read in the last couple of years that are about or deal with some aspect of the singularity:

  • The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology by Ray Kurzweil
  • The Intelligent Universe: AI, ET, and the Emerging Mind of the Cosmos by James N. Gardner
  • The Age of Spiritual Machines: When Computers Exceed Human Intelligence by Ray Kurzweil
  • Whole Brain Emulation: A Roadmap by Anders Sandberg and Nick Bostrom
  • The coming Technological Singularity: How to Survive in the Post-Human Era by Vernor Vinge
  • Artificial Intelligence as a Positive and Negative Factor in Global Risk by Eliezer Yudkowsky

Fiction:

  • Singularity Sky by Charles Stross
  • Marooned in Realtime (Peace War) by Vernor Vinge
  • Accelerando (Singularity) by Charles Stross


These are on similar topics of science and cosmology but not explicitly about the singularity:

  • Transcend: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever by Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman M.D.
Fiction:

  • Rule 34 (Halting State) by Charles Stross
