Books about Intelligence

What an extraordinary book. Kurzweil uses current trends in the growth of computing power to predict how machine intelligence will overtake human intelligence in a few decades from now. He discusses various technologies that will accelerate this trend and the legal, political and cultural issues that will inevitably arise in such a world. Well-written with quite an amazing number of references. The conversations in the book between the author and an imaginary person in various future years started off interesting, but I felt that towards the end, they became tedious as the author became a victim of his own cleverness.
