[Natasha Vita-More]

Yes, and that leads directly into transhumanism.  I also find that often
missing is aesthetics and design.

Subject: [ExI] IEEE on the Singularity


Very, very, very interesting:
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/static/singularity

I would say a must reading for anybody interested in the subject.

What is substantially omitted is any discussion of the kind of societal
mobilisation and cultural pre-conditions required to achieve and maintain a
given pace of technological progress, let alone a technological
"singularity".
