Kurzweil has some interesting views on the future. If you haven't already, read his book "The Age of Spiritual Machines."

I have. I actually found Kurzweil through the band Our Lady Peace. They had an album called Spiritual Machines which was partially based on his book and even had him speaking over about 5 of the tracks.

That book completely changed my views on the future. I think the man is an absolute genius.

I've met him. he was a keynote speaker at one of my compny's conferences about 5 years ago.

However, barring some radical breakthrough in the next 20 years or so, I probably won't be around to take part in the debate over cybernetically enhanced humans.
