The book starts with “where we stand” in terms of epochs
with the present one being a merger of bio-science with technology. The idea
that one day it would be possible to upload our mind into the ‘cloud’ achieving
cyber-immortality is the next. In general terms, the book describes the law of
accelerating returns, which predicts an exponential increase in technologies
like computers, genetics, nanotechnology, robotics and artificial intelligence.
