From the creator of 'The Singularity Is Near': The Transcendent Man
This movie is certainly something to look forward to. I've read 'The Singularity Is Near' from Ray Kurzweil and had been in touch with his editor of KurzweilAI Amara a while ago through Howard Bloom.
Check out the trailer of Transcendent Man
Following an excerpt of what Kurzweil Technologies sent me:
"Director Barry Ptolemy traveled to five countries and followed Ray Kurzweil for two years, documenting Kurzweil's journey to bring the ideas from his best-selling book The Singularity is Near to a world audience. Ptolemy expertly explores the social and philosophical implications of the transformative changes that Kurzweil predicts and their intertwined promise and peril, in dialogues with world leaders such as Colin Powell; technologists Hugo de Garis, Peter Diamandis, Kevin Warwick, and Dean Kamen; journalists Kevin Kelly and Tom Abate; and luminary Stevie Wonder."
