Launched in 2000, Kurzweil Network explores the radical growth of pervasive technologies — both biological and machine — that are radically changing our world.

Based on forecasts and insights originally articulated by futurist, inventor Ray Kurzweil in his landmark writings, we explore key breakthroughs in science + technology. The theme accelerating intelligence is a core concept from Kurzweil’s research, it means “always increasing our knowledge, so we can better plan for the future.”

We cover new ideas and daily progress in science + technology: biotech, nanotech + materials science, electronics, computation, artificial intelligence, robotics, neuroscience, web, pattern recognition, virtual reality, human brain reverse engineering, and brain and body augmentation.

We examine the trends, people and projects deeply impacting marketplace, arts + entertainment, government, defense, medicine, communication, education, lifestyle, and society’s future.
