Review for The Singularity is Coming: The Artificial Intelligence Explosion by Tony Thorne MBE

Note: This is NOT a romance novel, it's a dire prediction for the future of mankind!

Tony Thorne MBE’s new ‘fact against fiction’ book is probably his most important ever. It’s about THE SINGULARITY, and the resulting Artificial Intelligence Explosion. So what is a singularity? It’s easiest described as a one way event, something which once it occurs cannot be reversed. We might say that a commercial plane crash is a singularity. Being born seems to fit the definition too, initially. So what kind of singularity phenomenon is explored in this book? 

Many scientists claim it poses a far greater threat to humanity than global warming, and it may only be just ten years away..! 

This singularity will follow on from the Artificial Intelligence devices we already have today. More incredible developments will emerge after them, and then after that, and so on. The singularity and its runaway consequences that follow will change our way of life… completely. 

Available now as an inexpensive Kindle eBook, from www.amazon.com, you must read about what many experts are convinced is in store for us, in maybe less than a decade. 

My Review

Tony Thorne MBE's "The Singularity is Coming: The Artificial Intelligence Explosion" is a standalone short read. It holds a dire prediction for our future. It seems like Mr. Thorne is very well read and he cites a lot of very good literature on the subject of artificial intelligence. In some ways, this is a nice, short digest written in layman's terms for a lot of very heavy duty readings. It was definitely an interesting read and seems to dovetail with what I've been reading from Kurzweil and others. I think it's a great time to go watch movies like Ex Machina and read this book. No time like the present.

4 out of 5 stars
