Ray Kurzweil
Ray Kurzweil is an inventor, entrepreneur, author, and futurist. Called "the restless genius" by the Wall Street Journal and "the ultimate thinking machine" by Forbes, Kurzweil&裟s ideas on the future have been touted by his many fans, ranging from Bill Gates to Bill Clinton. MIT&裟s Marvin Minsky writes that "with his brilliant descriptions of the coming connections of computers with immortality, Kurzweil clearly takes his place as a leading futurist of our time." George Gilder writes that "Kurzweil&裟s ideas make all other roads to the computer future look like goat paths in Patagonia." Sun Microsystems Chief Scientist Bill Joy, whose own discussions of the promise and peril of technology have attracted worldwide attention, writes in his now famous Wired magazine cover story that "I can date the onset of my unease to the day I met Ray Kurzweil, the deservedly famous inventor of the first reading machine for the blind and many other amazing things." Stevie Wonder writes "Ray&裟s technology and ideas have truly been among the sunshines of my life. Kurzweil&裟s writings are a wonderful riff on the next century from a keen seer, a great inventor, and a good friend."<br />

Kurzweil&裟s most recent national best-selling book, The Age of Spiritual Machines (Viking), has received widespread acclaim. It has achieved the #1 status on Amazon in the categories of both science and artificial intelligence and has been published in nine languages. The New York Times writes, "Kurzweil&裟s latest book ranges widely over such juicy topics as entropy, chaos, the big bang, quantum theory, DNA computers, quantum computers, Godel&裟s theorem, neural nets, genetic algorithms, nanoengineering, the Turing test, brain scanning, the slowness of neurons, chess playing programs, the Internet - the whole world of information technology past, present, and future. Kurzweil&裟s writings are for anyone who wonders where human technology is going next." Wired magazine writes, "Ray Kurzweil has a knack for spotting the next new thing. He has been charging into the future for nearly 40 years. He&裟s best known for guerrilla assaults on conventional wisdom." John Casti of Nature describes Kurzweil&裟s latest book as a "mind expanding account of the rise of intelligent machines. . . .nothing less than a blueprint for how to shove Homo sapiens off centre-stage in evolution&裟s endless play. . . .If you buy into Kurzweil&裟s Law of Accelerating Returns - and all empirical evidence currently available supports it completely - then the replacement of humans by machines as the primary intellectual force on Earth is indeed imminent."
