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...

感觸比較多,有效信息太少
评分整本書羅嗦死瞭,拿一個隱喻來迴來去印證,跟失控差不多,觀點有趣,你說他是小說吧,他好像有點數據,有點論證,你說他是科普吧,大多數的論據都是感悟,作者涉獵確實確實夠寬。
评分"最終翻譯還是沒能選上我,CV太不impressive"
评分Kevin Kelly的書就是附有洞察力!
