The Privatization of Hope: Ernst Bloch and the Future of Utopia. Peter Thompson (Editor), Slavoj Zizek (Editor). Duke University Press Books 2013

Hope in the Blochian sense has become atomized, desocialized, and privatized. From myriad perspectives, the contributors clearly delineate the renewed value of Bloch's theories in this age of hopelessness. Bringing Bloch's "ontology of Not Yet Being" into conversation with twenty-first-century concerns, this collection is intended to help revive and revitalize philosophy's commitment to the generative force of hope.

... another event which is likely to take place well before the technological singularity.  This is the economic singularity. 

The gods and the useless 
Yuval Harari, author of the brilliant Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, says that humanity may divide into two classes of people: rather brutally, he calls them the gods and the useless. (See the end of his TED talk).
