Evaluating Ray Kurzweil's "Transcendent Man"

Panel review and audience discussion on the groundbreaking ideas and works of Ray Kurzweil, especially as featured in the film Transcendent Man which has its London premier earlier in the same week.

This event will be held in lecture room B34 in the Malet Street building (the main building) of Birkbeck College. This is located in Torrington Square (which is a pedestrian-only square), London WC1E 7HX. (Map – PDF) Torrington Square is about 10 minutes walk from either Russell Square or Goodge St tube stations.

The first speaker will start speaking at 2pm, and the session will close at 4.15pm (although informal discussion is likely to continue for some time in the room afterwards - and subsequently in nearby pubs, for those who wish to explore the ideas further).
