This is an interesting discussion, also given that I just finished reading the Cassini Divison from Macleod. It was a good, if a little short, novel on how fleshy humans cope after the technological singularity.

A flashback character in Ken MacLeod’s 1998 novel The Cassini Division dismissively refers to the singularity as “the Rapture for nerds”, though the singularity goes on to happen anyway
