Vernor Vinge's Original Essay on the Singularity
I'm doing research for various aspects of ANTIMATTER VOODOO. In the course of this, I stumbled across this site, which contains Vernor Vinge's 1993 essay on his vision of the looming "Singularity". This link goes to a PDF which has been updated by the author as of January 2003. A great deal of the cutting-edge sf being published and written at the moment involves this concept at some level, so I thought it would be worth having a look at the original source documents.
LATER: or go here for a selection of articles about the whole Singularity Thang (including Vinge's, above) slated for inclusion in an issue of the Whole Earth Magazine, if they can get funding enough to publish it.
