Realistic Singularity Fiction Audios(RSF).
By far the most obvious monumental sci-tech advance looming ahead of us is the arrival of greater than human intelligence, likely within this 21st century. Judith Berman, in "Science Fiction Without the Future," 2001, noted that writing about the coming AI is so difficult (emotionally and intellectually) that most sci-fi writers, and their readers in collusion, have simply abandoned reading or thinking about realistic science fiction, turning to comfortable fantasy instead Below(e.g., Star Trek and other such impossible but comforting 'space operas'). Nevertheless, there are a handful of efforts that attempt to realistically describe the likely coming emergence of AI, and the implications of an AI world on human beings, in at least a partially plausibile way. We call such fiction RSF.
Here are a few RSF favorites:
Society of the Mind, Eric L. Harry, 1996
Good cyberthriller about increasingly intelligent robots emerging in the decades ahead. Discusses the fascinating question of whether AIs could have mental illness, and one scenario for how that issue might play out. Take it along for your next drive!

Update Music
Our music is so already in the future adn we dont even know this. Things like our ipod can actually after awhile program its self to play every song you like and put the ones you dont like as much to the back and this is on shuffle mode and yes its allow you to just make your life easier where you dont have to push the button cause you know your ipod is going to just play what song you want to hear next. Thats so advance but not even as advanced as Bill Gates where he have his house program to adjust to your body mood and play a song that you will just love to hear or to make you feel better=Darnell Aka Parapper
