Singularity in near / movie


The book "Singularity is near" as one of Amazon.com's best science books of 2005, now all copies of this book has been forgotten and left to collect dust…RK is trying to grab our attention with a new films, "The Singularity is Near" and "Transcendent Man", … I see his cinematic efforts as little more than a temper tantrum to get noticed again.

I quoted this from website which described most of my feeling about this coming movie.
