Out of Control pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.

評分《失控》英文原版
評分innobook上好像有中文試讀版的,不過好像就前麵幾章
《失控》第一章即开篇明义:人造与天生的联姻正是本书的主题。KK指出,人造物与自然生命之间有两种趋势正在发生: 1. 人造物表现得越来越像生命体; 2. 生命变得越来越工程化。 从第二章至第二十三章,均在阐述这一个主题。在全书最后一章即二十四章,KK总结了造物九律: ...
評分 評分《失控》读完半个月了。很久没在看完一本书之后沉吟这么久。并不仅仅因为书写的好,更因为机缘巧合:这书恰恰补上了长久以来我世界观拼图里缺的那一块。 号称学了生物专业,生物化学、分子生物学之类早忘得一干二净,就算当初也没记住过多少。聊以慰藉的,是对生命有一个还算宏...
