Because this is the direction that technology is heading. Because it seems impossible now doesn't mean it's drawbacks can't be considered and they should be before the fork in the road arrives. I've not read the book itself, but I did watch a documentary on the author of "The Singularity is Near". The ideas exist already. It is just a matter of time now.
