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.

評分一本奇异的书。 随着阅读的推进,不断重塑认知的边界,一层一层抬升视野。 当我们逐渐意识到,科技或者说所有纵横在时空里的人类活动,都具有独立生命体一般的自我演化能力和逻辑,并由此窥见一些走势与未来的时候,甚至会在刹那间有一种属神的喜悦。 翻译也很好,向译者致敬!
評分最近“致青春”很火,套用网上一个哥们的话来说:对我们这些长的丑的人来说只有大学没有青春。既然没有青春可致,那么我们就换个话题:聊聊生命!然而"生命赋予每个人只有一次,人的一生应该这样度过……",很多年前读到这段的时候,我也难以理解保哥,丫怎么就跟打了鸡血似的...
評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。 ...
