Transcendent Man is a documentary that explores the life and ideas of inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil. It delves into topics such as human-versus-machine, futurology, death, immortality, ageing, mortality, life-expectancy, mind-uploading, knowledge, the future, technology, transhumanism, robotics, genetics, nanotechnology, science, optimism, exponential growth, evolution, technology and human interaction, artificial intelligence, technological singularity, nanobots, the journey of human evolution, and the concept of singularity.

Within the coming decades we will be able to create AIs with greater than human intelligence, bio-engineer our species and re-design matter through nanotechnology. How will these technologies change what it means to be human? Director Doug Wolens speaks with leading futurists, computer scientists, artificial intelligence experts, and philosophers who turn over the question like a Rubik’s Cube. Ultimately, if we become more machine-like, and machines more like us, will we sacrifice our humanity to gain something greater? Or will we engineer our own demise? THE SINGULARITY is a comprehensive and insightful documentary film that examines technology’s accelerating rate, and deftly addresses the resulting moral questions.
