Out of Control is a summary of what we know about self-sustaining systems, both living ones such as a tropical wetland, or an artificial one, such as a computer simulation of our planet. The last chapter of the book, "The Nine Laws of God," is a distillation of the nine common principles that all life-like systems share. The major themes of the book are:
As we make our machines and institutions more complex, we have to make them more biological in order to manage them.
The most potent force in technology will be artificial evolution. We are already evolving software and drugs instead of engineering them.
Organic life is the ultimate technology, and all technology will improve towards biology.
The main thing computers are good for is creating little worlds so that we can try out the Great Questions. Online communities let us ask the question "what is a democracy; what do you need for it?" by trying to wire a democracy up, and re-wire it if it doesn't work. Virtual reality lets us ask "what is reality?" by trying to synthesize it. And computers give us room to ask "what is life?" by providing a universe in which to create computer viruses and artificial creatures of increasing complexity. Philosophers sitting in academies used to ask the Great Questions; now they are asked by experimentalists creating worlds.
As we shape technology, it shapes us. We are connecting everything to everything, and so our entire culture is migrating to a "network culture" and a new network economics.
In order to harvest the power of organic machines, we have to instill in them guidelines and self-governance, and relinquish some of our total control.

读后感
《失控》的厉害在于，写于1994年，现在看来仍然像是预言。一开始是社会学，后来是管理学，最后发现也可以解读为恐怖科幻小说，里面又涵盖了数学、物理、化学、计算机、生物、控制、混沌等等各种基础与前言学科。 好，现在我就按照恐怖科幻的路子，解读一下。科学素养有限，描述...
评分书名《失控》，英文《Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World》，听起来挺唬人，再加上黑黄色的封面，让人以为又是一本写于90年代的末日论著作。 实际上这是一本充满浪漫主义情怀的书。它描述了随着逐步放弃对机器的精确控制，...
评分钟表般的精确逻辑——也即机械的逻辑——只能用来建造简单的装置。真正复杂的系统，比如细胞、草原、经济体或者大脑（不管是自然的还是人工的）都需要一种地道的非技术的逻辑。 生命中到底有多少东西是能被转化的，仍然是一个神奇的谜团。到目前为止，那些原属于生命体但却成...
评分由渥卓斯基兄弟拍摄的“骇客帝国”得益于一系列的哲学，思想和艺术。灵感来自各种不同的激发，所以对那些想要深究骇客帝国哲学而刨根问底寻找后的这些灵感来源的“骇客迷”们，这的确是一次“愉快的挑战”。虽然激发了渥卓斯基兄弟的可能有无数本书，但其中很多我们大概永远不...
评分很幸运年终前能读到两本出版已久的好书：查理芒格《穷查理宝典》及KK的《失控》。 查理在前书中指出，一般人只要能掌握几门基础学科——如数学、物理、生物学、心理学等——的十几种基本模式，就正确认识和分析生活中相当多的问题。而KK在《失控》中也不断重复，指要在基本基...
