Some others include the technological singularity of Stross's Singularity Sky, the psychic singularity of Clarke's Childhood's End, nanotech sinularities such as Bear's Blood Music, etc. etc.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Then it's "Death". First appearance in Mort.
EDIT: Just to put things right, the first appearance was in "The Colour of Magic" as per Commander Malacandra's feedback.
