The singularity is nearer : when we merge with Al / by Kurzweil, Ray,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."This successor volume to The Singularity Is Near explores how technology will refashion the human race in the decades to come. In this entirely new book, Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances in the singularity -- assessing the progress of many of his predictions and examining the novel advancements that, in the near future, will bring a revolution in knowledge and an expansion of human potential. Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding the world atom by atom with devices like nanobots; radical life extension beyond the current age limit of 120; reinventing intelligence by expanding biological capacity with nonbiological intelligence in the cloud; how life is improving with declines in poverty and violence; and the growth of technologies that can be applied to everything from clothes to building materials to growing human organs.

Includes bibliographical references and index."Fatigue and a lack of energy are among the top wellness issues facing Americans.

In Energize! renowned sleep doctor Michael Breus and founding instructor of SoulCycle Stacey Griffith team up to help readers get back on track. Using the core principles of chronobiology and fitness, they offer a simple, personalized program of small, daily movements, sleeping and eating on schedule, and mood hacks that will give readers incredible energy, promote happiness, and fight off fatigue for good. Their program boils down to living the way nature and your DNA programmed you to live. With fascinating science, quizzes so that readers can identify their chronotype (Lion, Wolf, Bear, or Dolphin) and their body type (ecto, endo, or mesomorphic), and easily implemented advice, Energize! will have you feeling happier and healthier in no time"--
