It is refreshing to read a book that accurately and interestingly names the various responses to "the singularity" that is an inevitable part of our future. That book is Joel Garreau's Radical Evolution. He lays out different scenarios predicted by people who care about posthumanism. They are: Heaven; Hell; Prevail; Transcend. The best thing about the book is his introduction to the personalities that are behind the scenarios. It is well worth your time to read, if only to learn about the nerds who will call the shots of all of our futures.
