H. G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" rears its ugly head yet again. Humans versus the machines redux. AI, transhumanism, and the rest. Machines will become so intelligent that they will be able to predict the future. Forget about complexity and chaos theory which forbid such predictions. Forget about Henri Poincare's proof that Newton's "Three Body Problem" can never be solved. The coming machines will be capable of tackling any problem.

Definitely an interesting read, this is always an idea that terrifies me and this book did a good job of explaining everything a bit more about why I should remain afraid of this idea if it ever comes to happening.
