I dunno, I was pretty put off by The Age of Spiritual Machines. It seemed pretty obvious to me after reading it that Ray Kurzweil was really looking forward to the day when he could enter into a deep and loving relationship with a piece of software. It was a bit icky.
Don't get me wrong, the man is a great inventor and something of a wizard with computers, but I don't really think I'd like to live in the world that he is predicting.
