Singularity: The Hypothetical Point When AI Surpasses Human Intelligence in Popular Culture delves into the captivating and often speculative world of artificial intelligence as envisioned in literature. Authored by Harold Morrison, this book explores the profound concept of the technological singularity-a hypothetical future point where AI surpasses human intelligence, leading to unpredictable and potentially transformative changes in society.

Morrison expertly navigates through various depictions of AI in popular culture, examining how these portrayals reflect our hopes, fears, and ethical dilemmas surrounding advanced technology. From classic mythology to science fiction novels, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of how Americans imagine the implications of AI achieving superintelligence.

With insightful commentary and thought-provoking discussions, Singularity offers readers a deep understanding of the cultural significance of AI and the singularity concept. It sheds light on the philosophical questions and societal challenges posed by the potential rise of superintelligent machines, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology, culture, and the future of humanity.
