Research on Singularity

I'm going to start reading some books on technological singularity to get inspiration and learn more about the subject. There are plenty of books and research regarding this subject but I've decided to go with Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark. And the novel The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect by Roger Williams which is free and looks relatively short. 

                                                                             

Other than books and articles about it, I've also been researching the opinions of people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk on this subject and their predictions for the future. It looks like this theory brings a lot of wonder and uncertainty as technology advances faster and faster. This article by Forbes talks about how worrying the subject is and how if we are not careful it can happen in the next 20 to 30 years (https://www.forbes.com/sites/cognitiveworld/2019/02/10/the-troubling-trajectory-of-technological-singularity/#d466e8671158). I aim to leave the audience thinking about this matter and bringing suspense to keep them interested. However, to achieve this the antagonist has to be realistic and intimidating, which I need to figure out how to create.
