Ah, but of course I wasn't talking for an instant about the book, but about
the idea and prospect the term denotes. I was dazzled at the thought that
Microsoft should have so thoughtfully provided a keystroke shortcut direct
to the singularity. Has anyone dared use it, though? Presumably not, I
suppose, unless we are the Pedestrians (Eliezer's nice word) who declined
to be Transcended--as would be fitting among those still using Word 97.
