More About The Singularity
This was one of them books that I got recommended a few years ago now, it has sat on my Kindle for pretty much most of that time. It's also not the normal type of book I go for, considering I go for something a lot more lets me forget the world than anything else.But this book, it gripped me from the start and was terrifying in a way... Brave debut from English/South African author. It references Orwell, Dick, Huxley, Gates and Zuckerberg while channeling the collective doom and gloom of every sci-fi auteur who 's ever made you want to skip this mortal coil. After a slow start this book really picked up and I really got stuck into it. The reason I've given it a 4 instead of a 5 is that there were some spelling errors throughout that should've been picked up by a proofread and also that it ended really suddenly. I'm hoping a sequel is in the works to tie things up.
