Yeah, I've been "struggling" through Kurzweil's book on and off for about 9 months now .... it's been a real struggle because he makes so many extremely optimistic predictions and also because he repeats himself over and over and over again. A summarised version could probably have had ALL of the content and ALL of the detail in less than 10 pages.
Even though I find his extremely optimistic timescales and predictions very difficult to accept, seismic shifts definitely seem to be coming.
