# Humans Could Merge with Their Own Technological Evolution by Ray Kurzweil > “The result will be an intimate merger between the technology-creating species and the technological evolutionary process it spawned.” > **— Ray Kurzweil**, *“A singularity q + a,” Kurzweil Library* ## Sources and Context - **Author's Q&A:** [Ray Kurzweil, “A singularity q + a”](https://www.writingsbyraykurzweil.com/a-singularity-q-a). “The result” refers to his forecast of deep integration of nonbiological intelligence into bodies, brains, and environments. The next exchange calls that merger a precursor to, rather than identical with, his proposed Singularity. This is an attributed prediction, not a present technical accomplishment. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Machine Succession|Machine Succession]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/Uploading Is Imminent|Uploading Is Imminent]] - **Article:** [[articles/Walking the Beautiful Path Through the Greatest Transformation in Human History|Walking the Beautiful Path Through the Greatest Transformation in Human History]] - **Wiki map:** [[wiki/Human-Machine Symbiosis|Human-Machine Symbiosis]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Ray Kurzweil|Ray Kurzweil]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “The result will be an intimate merger between the technology-creating species and the technological evolutionary process it spawned.” — Ray Kurzweil, “A singularity q + a” https://bryantmcgill.com/simple-reminders-kurzweil-merge-technological-evolution ```
