Reply to comment by Terminator857 in Been reading Ray Kurzweil’s book “The Singularity is Near”. What should I read as a prerequisite to comprehend it? by Golfer345
Of course I know the basic concept of all those things, I’m referring mainly to how Kurzweil seems to continuously talk about how somehow computer parts as we know them today such as computer chips will be replaced with biological parts that have been harnessed for computational purposes . He went in depth talking about how the different states of the subatomic particles can be treated in the same fashion as 1s and 0s computer code.
At least this is what I gathered from reading Chapter 2 and Chapter 3. Am I right ? Correct me if I’m wrong . If I’m right , how in laymen terms could this work? All his detailed explanations on this fly over my head

The way you explain it here means that you do understand it in laymen’s terms. You could go deeper but then you’re going beyond the laymen.
