Ben Goertzel and Stephan Vladimir Bugaj, _The Path to Posthumanity: 21st
Century Technology and Its Radical Implications for Mind, Society and
Reality_, 2006, deserves more attention than it has received. It is in some
ways the best book-length introduction to the Singularity.

I find only one mention of the book on the Singularity and SL4 lists (
http://www.sl4.org/archive/0205/3611.html). It also didn't make a major
impact on the singularity-aware blogosphere. I can't figure out why.

Unfortunately, it costs $74, but I got it at a public library through
Inter-Library Loan (or ask a library to order it.) A draft is available
online at http://intelligenesiscorp.com/agiriorg/path/index.htm  but the
published book has some significantly rewritten chapters and so is worth
reading.
