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.

内容庞杂，安排失当。章节之间关系含糊（或者没有关系），文章组织混乱。如果有人能做个摘要，还值得一读，不然随便翻翻也就算了。 作者想覆盖许多领域，但对许多领域都只是泛泛了解，少有真知灼见。他心里有一种朦胧的体悟，却骨鲠在喉，不能以精确而严密的语言来组织和表达...
評分我在二十岁那年用在一家货运中心打工挣的钱买了一张从新泽西到亚洲的机票。在此之前，我只结识过一位中国人，甚至连亚洲的饮食都没沾过。我不知道在这个离家万里的地方会碰到什么。当我到达的时候，我的钱包几乎空空如也；不过，我有的是时间。 在接下来的八年里，我走遍了亚...
評分昨天晚上目睹了一帮YY的中国人，向KK灌输YY新词汇。比如：togayther、吃豆腐、闷骚以及saoism……KK说，人们都是这样啊，学坏单词总是比学好单词要快。 很难想象KK这样的一代思想大师，会跟这些YY的家伙们这样happy。 KK偶尔会冒出几句简短的中文，发音很标准，一二三四声都...
