Das Kapital. It will help you understand why Kurzweil is living in a fantasy world.

A book from 1867, talking about 19th century problems, has little place outside of being a curiosity in 2023.

Edit: And no, conditions are not "exactly the same" as 156 years ago in terms of society, technology, culture, or economics. That's a stupid statement.

This is actually wrong. As someone who has read it in full, Das Kapital will tell you exactly the conditions that will take place as they are the same conditions happening now.
