Singularity Summit 2008: Opportunity, Risk, Leadership takes place October 25 at the Montgomery Theater in San Jose, CA, the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence announced today. Now in its third year, the Singularity Summit gathers the smartest people around to explore one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Endings are hard, denouements (the part after the climax where the audience catches its breath and the last momentum of the story rolls on) are harder. It's hard to say more without spoilering the surprises. But the denouement is what makes this ending really, really work : it's a fantastically satisfying tying-up-of-knots, sketching-of-the-future -- it's bittersweet, loving, funny, witty, and makes maximal work of the visual storytelling that makes graphic novels one of the many audiobook publishers that wants to give up on DRM, but they've been thrwarted by Audible (the exclusive supplier of audiobook downloads to Amazon and the iTunes Store) because the company won't sell DRM-free titles even when the publisher and author wish to make their own choices, use their own judgment, maybe even get interestingly lost now and then.
