This is a trailer for the feature documentary by doug wolens. This project has been selected to the New York Film Market in September 2009 where there will be a work-in-progress screening of material from the film. It is anticipated that the film will be completed in 2010. Please go to the film’s website for more information: www.thesingularityfilm.com Within the coming decades we will be able to create AIs with greater than human intelligence, bio-engineer our species and re-design matter through nanotechnology. How will these technologies change what it means to be human? The Singularity – Will we survive our technology? is a comprehensive documentary showcasing the promises and perils of future technologies such as nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Serious thinkers in the science community are wowed by the techno-utopia promises of transcending our biology, merging with our machines, and creating greater than human intelligence. This film illustrates how these technologies may be achieved within the next two decades then questions what these technologies could mean to humanity. Not only should we be concerned with the unintended consequences of these powerful technologies, we should pause to think about what happens if these technologies actually pan out as anticipated.

I have been a vivid fan of nanotechnology and the possibilties it can bring in the future and love the books eg engines of creation, the age of spiritual machines and the singularity is near by ray kurzweil but surely there must be more sci fi stories floating around on the net. The nanotech revolution is one great story i found online a few years ago, was a great read, would muchly appreciate ideas of where i can find more books or stories about the subject.
Also the book prey by michael crichton was supposed to be made into a movie, I wonder whatever happened with that ?
