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.
相对于作者第一本书《失控》来说,这本书里新的东西很少,所以我只用了几个小时看完了本书,《失控》却是看了两三遍,想想老外们几十年前玩的东西我们国人至今未曾接触到,或者说我的眼界还不够宽广未曾看到,至少身为大众群体里的一员我是未曾接触到高新科技方面的东...

真没想到我真的把这书的原版啃完了!这是一本很有意思的探讨过去和未来的书。以创造更多可能性为基础的论点也很有意思。推荐读一读。

评分只有颠覆并扩展思想的书才是好书
评分整本书罗嗦死了,拿一个隐喻来回来去印证,跟失控差不多,观点有趣,你说他是小说吧,他好像有点数据,有点论证,你说他是科普吧,大多数的论据都是感悟,作者涉猎确实确实够宽。
评分技术本身就是一曲忠诚的赞歌
