I made this music video to accompany Doctor Steel's excellent song 'The Singularity'. Note that most of the clips in the video are demonstrations of real technologies, which can be found on youtube. There are also some animations of technologies that are currently in development (e.g. fusion and genetic engineering). I think the only part of the video that is pure science fiction at the moment the the part with nanomachines interacting with a cell. The rest is here, now. The singularity is near.

Lyrics to the song:
Zeroes and ones
The curve's begun
Nanotechnology transcending biology
This is how the race is won
By my hands the sons of man
Understand, execute the plan

Reverse engineering the human mind
Only a matter of time
That this fractal design
Emerges electronic life with
Prophetic symbology and
Modern technology

Bring on the Singularity
Transcend
Transcend biology
Bring on the Singularity
Transcend
Transcend biology


Immerse me in
Virtual reality and
The order of the galaxy
The possibilities expand
Demand more than the
Factory software
I don't care
I want to be smarter
And stronger and live longer

Speed up the accelerating returns
Cause carbon doesn't work
I want to evolve and operate at terahertz
So bring on the knee of the curve
And let's transcend biology
Our archaic humanity

Bring on the Singularity

Bring on the Singularity
Bring on the Singularity
Transcend
Transcend biology
Bring on the Singularity
Transcend
Transcend biology
Bring on the Singularity
Transcend
Transcend biology
Bring on the Singularity
Transcend
Transcend biology

And will I evolve to rise or fall
Becoming non-biological
And will I evolve to rise or fall
Becoming non-biological
