Just some of the more recent examples include feature articles on the NY Times and coverage on PBS TV network together with the widely anticipated big screen movie premieres of both Transcendent Man and The Singularity Is Near.

Check out the video below which touches on a number of topics related to the singularity such as Ray Kurzweil‘s predictions, immortality, nanotechnology, exponential growth, brain uploading, synthetic biology, space exploration and others.
