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.
这是我看的第二本KK的书。第一本自然是失控了。为什么会去看失控呢?因为出版社的噱头打得好啊——龌龊司机兄弟拍黑客帝国的时候要求演员必看书目。 以90年代的眼光看,失控是本很牛逼的书。 以10年代的眼光看,失控依然是本牛逼的书。 能写出二十年都不过时的经典作品的作...

评分如果生活中没有网络,我会是今天这个样子么? 答案一定不是。更好或更坏就说不准了,但是从某种程度上我喜欢网络带给我的变化。 使满足感最优化 和使选择最优化这是一对矛盾的选择。 超简约主义者获得满足感的同时失去了探索能力。他们没有认识到而且也不能发现自己的潜力。 ...
评分这两天停电正好把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。
评分感触比较多,有效信息太少
评分mindblowing
评分所以,生命的意义在于通过利用技术创造物,增加信息量,减少熵,一直把这个过程延续下去,填充无限的宇宙?
评分此书的见识无愧于这个时代。
