"Transcend" by futurologist Ray Kurzweil & Terry Grossman, MD is a great, great book and elaborates further on this and other future technologies. A MUST read.
In the book it talks about how roughly 20-25 years from now, food will most likely be created in a "nanofactory". Thats right. Microscopic robots making your food at your table or desk out of matter. Sweeeeeeet! Chicken & Shrimp on the spot. I'm all for it.
Anyone who doesnt believe that artificial intelligence & nanotechnology are going to drastically change this world is in DENIAL.

(BTW, his books "Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever" and "The Singularity is Near" are both must reads also)
