Fiction for an Accelerated Future
"An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential, contrary to the common-sense 'intuitive linear' view. So we won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century—it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today's rate)." - Raymond Kurzweil.
About
The aim of Singularitales.com is very simple: to provide readers with challenging, thought-provoking, and–most of all–entertaining science-fiction stories inspired by, or otherwise revolving around or evolving out of, the concept of the “technological Singularity.” Whether you’re a hardcore Singularitarian who has already mapped out the specs for your post-upload robot body, or a n00b who thinks “singularity” has something to do with being unmarried, have a look at our rather-loose definition of the Singularity as literary concept to orient yourself within the vast phase-space of ideas that comprise the concept before diving in to the fiction: even the steepest exponential growth curve has to start somewhere, after all!
Above a beyond being an online fiction archive, Singularitales.com also serves as a meeting place for science-fiction fans to discuss stories found on the site, interesting books, movies, technology trends, toys, gadgets, and so forth. Check out our forums for an array of stimulating conversations.
Finally, Singularitales.com provides visitors with a variety of links to related or like-minded websites around the world. The idea of the Singularity is not confined to the realm of fiction alone: there are many individuals and organizations Out There in meatspace dedicated to analyzing, understanding, and even bringing about the Singularity in reality! After all, we chose our motto carefully–in a civilization advancing (technically) as rapidly as ours, the space between an idea being bandied about in fiction and being made a reality is growing smaller every year. What you read about on this site today, you may be enjoying (or running from) tomorrow!
