At first, I thought the article said, "swiftly spreading AIM to many computers."
Now that would be dangerous.
Radical Evolution is a really good book on the same topic. It does not sound as broad as Digital People, but it does feature interviews with Kurzweil, Fukuyama, and all the other big voices on the topic.
