Similarities to The Singularity Is Near (2010)

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2015)

The Matrix and Ray Kurzweil's, The Singularity Is Near, are similar in that both are categorized in the cyberpunk science fiction genre, are entrenched in the future, has a Prophet (Matrix: Oracle, Singularity: Ray Kurzweil), Battle forces (Matrix: Sentinals, Singularity: Nanotechnology), contain sentient machines however, they are dissimilar in that the sentient machines seek to control the human population (agents led by Agent Smith) in The Matrix and the sentient machine strives to save the human population whilst working to be labeled as one herself (Ramona) in The Singularity Is Near. The Singularity Is Near though, grounds itself in reality by including interviews with a line of current day movers and tinkers of our time.
