Sci-Fi Anthology, Imagine the Post-Human World.

"Digital Rapture could be a great read for anyone interested in exploring the concept of Singularity, a term referring to the hypothetical moment when machines surpass human intelligence. The anthology gathers an array of science-fiction stories that illustrate this idea and its potential implications on humanity. With authors such as H. G. Wells, Ray Kurzweil, Elizabeth Bear, and Isaac Asimov, readers can expect a well-crafted and thought-provoking collection that explores various aspects of Singularity, from its alien future to its almost-human near future. If you enjoy speculating about the future of humanity and technology, Digital Rapture is a must-read."

Description

Presenting the posthuman future in its wildest science-fictional imaginings and intriguing speculations, this far-reaching anthology of fiction and nonfiction traces the path of the Singularity, an era when advances in technology totally transform human reality. The featured stories and essays travel from the alien far-future of H. G. Wells and the almost-human, near future of Ray Kurzweil to Elizabeth Bear’s fusion of woman, machine, God, and shark and Isaac Asimov’s evolution of ineffable logic. Daring to peek over the edge of the event horizon as intelligence both figuratively and literally explodes, this collection also includes pieces by Nick Bostrom, Cory Doctorow, Robert Reed, Justina Robson, Charles Stross, Vernor Vinge, and more.Content"Introduction: Digital Rapture" by James Patrick Kelly & John Kessel"The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov "The Flesh": Excerpt from The World, The Flesh and The Devil: An Inquiry into the Future of the Three Enemies of the Rational Soul by J.
