Singularity

Books about the theorized technological singularity.
The technological singularity is a theoretical future point that takes place during a period of unprecedented technological progress sometime after the creation of a Superintelligence.
This bookshelf contains both fiction and non-fiction, some dealing directly with the topic, some indirectly.

Note: There is also a Goodreads group by the same title. The bookshelf in that group is not the same as this list, although the two should be largely congruent.

(See wikipedia for more information on the topic and many other links.)
