What if we are victims of an AI's singularity?

THIS is certainly the best book about the singularity. It features 26 intelligent scholars from 11 widely varying disciplines, all of them valiantly grappling with ghosts. Given that the subject matter is so highly speculative, so lofty, so indefinable, this tome is heavy going. Among its talents are nine philosophers and nine artificial intelligence researchers. These worthies mercilessly lay it on with their specialised jargon.
