- ^ Vernor Vinge (1993) “The Coming Technological Singularity”, in Acceleration Studies Foundation: “I think it's fair to call this event a singularity ("the Singularity" for the purposes of this paper). It is a point where our old models must be discarded and a new reality rules.”
- ^ Amnon H. Eden, James H. Moor, Johnny H. Soraker, Eric Steinhart (2013) chapter 1, in Singularity Hypotheses: A Scientific and Philosophical Assessment, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 5: “The gravitational singularity metaphor thus reinforces the view that the change will be radical and that its outcome cannot be foreseen.”
