What visions of the world, both utopian and dystopian, have been proposed for life after the singularity?

Obviously, Kurzweil is very optimistic.
I figure we're bound to get snagged in some never ending computer glitch loop virus type of situation which I suppose would be the closest thing to hell that could realistically ever happen.
Also, I've seen it proposed on pop science TV shows and in print that there will be a movement against machine integration and the people who opt out will be so far below those in the singularity they'll be as intellectually distant as ants are now. Not that I'm really convinced any other kind of intelligence is inferior to human intelligence from an objective standpoint.
Others say lack of access due to poverty will make the rich by comparison übermensch.
