Subsequent authors have echoed this viewpoint. Stanislaw Ulam reports in 1958 an earlier discussion with von Neumann 'centered on the accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue'.
