KurzweilAI.net, Apr. 5, 2010<\/p>\n

“The\u00a0Singularity<\/a> Is Near: a True Story About the\u00a0Future<\/a>” makes its festival debut at the 13th Annual Sonoma Film Festival (April 15-18, 2010) with a special screening on Friday, April 16, 2010.<\/p>\n

The feature-length film, directed by Anthony Waller and produced by Ray Kurzweil, Ehren Koepf and Toshi Hoo, executive producer\u00a0Martine Rothblatt<\/a> (Terasem\u00a0Motion<\/a>InfoCulture), explores the controversial ideas of Ray Kurzweil, based on his New York Times best-selling book by the same title.<\/p>\n

Kurzweil examines the social and philosophical implications of these profound changes and the potential threats they pose to\u00a0human<\/a> civilization<\/a> in dialogues with leading experts, such as former White House counter-terrorism<\/a> advisor, Richard Clark; technologists\u00a0Bill Joy<\/a>,\u00a0Mitch Kapor<\/a>,\u00a0Marvin Minsky<\/a>, Eric Drexler, and Robert A. Freitas, Jr.;\u00a0Future<\/a> Shock author Alvin Toffler; civil liberties lawyer Alan Dershowitz; and\u00a0music<\/a> luminary Quincy Jones.<\/p>\n

Kurzweil illustrates possible scenarios of his imagined\u00a0future<\/a> with narrative scenes starring popular NCIS actress Pauley Perrette and personal development\u00a0guru<\/a> Tony Robbins.<\/p>\n
