Abstract
The present paper reviews and resumes the "panoply" of criticism triggered by Ray Kurzweil's worrying scenario about the forthcoming Technological Singularity. These debates on technological evolution are re-considered and re-evaluated from the perspective of philosophical anthropology. Genuine enquiries on this subject are taken up as well.
