Doubts about herself, and how she was undone once, without knowing why, or if it could happen again. Is the reason she can’t accept being ...

The idea that human history is approaching a "singularity" - that ordinary humans will someday be overtaken by artificially intelligent machines or cognitively enhanced biological intelligence, or both - has moved from the realm of science fiction to serious debate.
