    Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationGeneral Article

    Abstract

    At an international futures conference in Perth last May, Damien Broderick, the Melbourne science fiction and science writer, described a view of the future drawn from his book, The Spike. Developments in computer, gene and nano (molecular) technologies, he says, will produce by 2030, or 2050 at the latest, a spike or technological singularity: a period of change of such speed and scale it will render the future opaque, where things become unknowable.
