This updated ‘fiction to fact’ book is about THE SINGULARITY, and the resulting Artificial Intelligence Explosion. It includes both fact and fiction sections. A singularity is a one way event which cannot be reversed. The event explored in this book is Artificial General Intelligence and how its runaway consequences will change our way of life… completely, and very soon now. Many scientists, and other experts, believe it is a far greater menace than global warming, or even a nuclear war, and it may have already begun. AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) computers will follow on from the Smart devices we already have today. New intelligent lifeforms much more clever than we are and able to work unaided 7 days a week for no pay. More incredible developments will appear after them, and then more and more again, leading to ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence). That Singularity and the runaway situation it will cause, will change our way of life forever. Will humanity be ready for such an awesome event? Read this book and the author’s conclusions about what is comingand then decide for yourself.

Summary
THE SINGULARITY IS COMING by Tony Thorne. Artificial Intelligence seemed science fiction when we were kids. However as we see the advances in technology it doesn’t seem so fiction.
You can tell the author has conducted a tremendous amount of research and thought on this topic. He has the ability to share it in terms that the layman can understand.
He shares what it is and possible alternatives for how it could play out.
The author goes on the share information from other publications and states which ones he considers to be leading. He shares his opinion on addition information from other individuals researching AI and its impact.
There is some fascinating information in this book. I think anyone would benefit from reading it and thinking about all the possibilities out there.
For authors, I can see this opening up so many possibilities for plot lines.
Tony also provides links to additional reading material throughout the book if you want to dive into specific topics.
The fiction section is where the author shares sections of his earlier fiction works before it was a possibility. I found the fiction sections interesting and they help but into everyday life how it the AI could impact us.
