Kevin Kelly is Senior Maverick at Wired magazine. He co-founded Wired in 1993, and served as its Executive Editor from its inception until 1999. He has just completed a book for Viking/Penguin publishers called "What Technology Wants," due out in the Fall 2010. He is also editor and publisher of the Cool Tools website, which gets half a million unique visitors per month. From 1984-1990 Kelly was publisher and editor of the Whole Earth Review, a journal of unorthodox technical news. He co-founded the ongoing Hackers' Conference, and was involved with the launch of the WELL, a pioneering online service started in 1985. He authored the best-selling New Rules for the New Economy and the classic book on decentralized emergent systems, Out of Control.
A refreshing view of technology as a living force in the world.
This provocative book introduces a brand-new view of technology. It suggests that technology as a whole is not a jumble of wires and metal but a living, evolving organism that has its own unconscious needs and tendencies. Kevin Kelly looks out through the eyes of this global technological system to discover "what it wants." He uses vivid examples from the past to trace technology's long course and then follows a dozen trajectories of technology into the near future to project where technology is headed. This new theory of technology offers three practical lessons: By listening to what technology wants we can better prepare ourselves and our children for the inevitable technologies to come. By adopting the principles of pro-action and engagement, we can steer technologies into their best roles. And by aligning ourselves with the long-term imperatives of this near-living system, we can capture its full gifts. Written in intelligent and accessible language, this is a fascinating, innovative, and optimistic look at how humanity and technology join to produce increasing opportunities in the world and how technology can give our lives greater meaning.
这两天停电正好把KK《科技需要什么?》看完了,感觉就是一个科技文化谜米倒腾了一整本书,虽然知识面看起来很广,其实错误不少,且不说译者把technology译成科技(其实很明显就是技术元素),当然KK自己都弄不清楚自己到底是在说科学还是技术或者科技文化,而诸如“硅,碳的同...
评分首先是两个基本的翻译问题。一,technology怎么翻?译者的选择是“科技”,但科技(science & technology)里的科(science)并不是修饰词,而是和技(technology)并列的另一个概念。具体到书中的用法,一方面科学方法被描述为技术发展史上的一个节点,另一方面绘画诗歌音乐舞...
评分 评分通读了两遍《科技想要什么》后,我将总结下K.K在本书的论述中所体现的思维方式和推理思路: 1. 间断的思考和无条理地组织思路 首先,本书大量地出现破折号和括号,用以作补充阐述。这并非只有偶然几处,而是随处可见;数量如此之大,我们不得不怀疑K.K的思路并不是顺畅的、有...
评分I'd say Unabomber's view on the relationship between technium's evolution and human being's oppression is indeed futuristic and eye-opening. In contrast, the author's counter argument seems relatively week and a bit elusive. The deduction of human being's...
Wow, 这么新。最近被人说我的想法和Technium有些像,仔细看看。btw我这个想法居然比这本书出得还早~ 共产主义的算法基础,会有人信吗 ;-目
评分还行,把technium看成某种进化的智能。但是叙述太啰嗦,几句话可以说明的事情可以写成整整一章。
评分kk tech
评分another great book from Kelly beside "Out of Control"
