Something About Mary -- Tradecraft Publications

"You can know everything about jumping out of a plane, but until you've actually experienced it, you don't know what the f*ck you're talking about." For many years, cognitive and computer scientists have been interested in building computers that can mimic human actions. As technology has become increasingly advanced, this once futuristic goal seems to be finally within reach.

To this end, author and futurist, Ray Kurzweil claims Artificial Intelligence will be equal to human intelligence by 2029.
