Forgot to include this picture the other day. I'm now 25% through it, and boy, I'm already getting headaches from whatever perfume they're lacing in-between the pages! I wish I could share the smell on social media here.

If you're wondering about what the book is about, here's the abstract from the publisher:-

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is the quest for the sci-fi AI dream: AI with mental autonomy, generality, adaptiveness and imagination equal to and ultimately exceeding that of humans. After decades of R&D struggles, the time for AGI is now finally near.

Since the early aughts, Dr. Ben Goertzel has been the leading force advancing the concept of AGI in the research community and the public sphere. Here he gives an insider’s account of the rise of AI and AGI from relative obscurity to their current status as the focus of large corporate and government initiatives.

He presents his understanding of the operation of the human brain, and the viability of various approaches to AGI including his own OpenCog AGI project; and also describes his efforts to use AI to solve critical issues such as human aging. In Goertzel’s vision, AGI will soon yield dramatic changes in every area of human life and society. Advanced AGIs that vastly exceed human intelligence will bring on a Technological Singularity, quite likely within our lifetimes.

Singularitynet(AGI) is very ambitious project. The project brings together two of technology’s hottest fields: AI and the blockchain. If the team achieves its lofty goals, they may just create the AI-centric future that we all hoped, or feared, would someday come. Now it is in great dip around 0.18 $ so i think it is best time to buy.

It's not a novel. It's compilation of short stories of his life in the city and where he travel to.

Xuan is a psycologist, DJ, speaker, author. Its an enjoyment to read his work.
