Out of Control pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Out of Control is a summary of what we know about self-sustaining systems, both living ones such as a tropical wetland, or an artificial one, such as a computer simulation of our planet. The last chapter of the book, "The Nine Laws of God," is a distillation of the nine common principles that all life-like systems share. The major themes of the book are:
As we make our machines and institutions more complex, we have to make them more biological in order to manage them.
The most potent force in technology will be artificial evolution. We are already evolving software and drugs instead of engineering them.
Organic life is the ultimate technology, and all technology will improve towards biology.
The main thing computers are good for is creating little worlds so that we can try out the Great Questions. Online communities let us ask the question "what is a democracy; what do you need for it?" by trying to wire a democracy up, and re-wire it if it doesn't work. Virtual reality lets us ask "what is reality?" by trying to synthesize it. And computers give us room to ask "what is life?" by providing a universe in which to create computer viruses and artificial creatures of increasing complexity. Philosophers sitting in academies used to ask the Great Questions; now they are asked by experimentalists creating worlds.
As we shape technology, it shapes us. We are connecting everything to everything, and so our entire culture is migrating to a "network culture" and a new network economics.
In order to harvest the power of organic machines, we have to instill in them guidelines and self-governance, and relinquish some of our total control.

評分中文版翻得慘不忍睹——不過確為神作
我在二十岁那年用在一家货运中心打工挣的钱买了一张从新泽西到亚洲的机票。在此之前,我只结识过一位中国人,甚至连亚洲的饮食都没沾过。我不知道在这个离家万里的地方会碰到什么。当我到达的时候,我的钱包几乎空空如也;不过,我有的是时间。 在接下来的八年里,我走遍了亚...
評分——《失控》是一本好看得要死的严肃之作 文 小庄 数年前一个晚上,雷电交加,我在上海徐家汇美罗城上面静坐等一位远道而来的长者。漫长的堵车之后他出现在了对面的位置上,颔首而笑,有点发白的头发在夜晚的灯光下十分好看。然后他抓起我手边搁着的一摞书逐个念了一边书名...
評分“人造物表现得越来越像生命体;生命变得越来越工程化。”美国《连线》杂志的创始主编凯文·凯利(Kevin Kelly)在写于20年前的《失控》的开篇中如是说,他被人们亲昵地称为KK。 20年后,KK的预言正逐渐成为现实。计算机和互联网逐渐成为我们生命中越来越重要的部分,我们已经分...
評分内容庞杂,安排失当。章节之间关系含糊(或者没有关系),文章组织混乱。如果有人能做个摘要,还值得一读,不然随便翻翻也就算了。 作者想覆盖许多领域,但对许多领域都只是泛泛了解,少有真知灼见。他心里有一种朦胧的体悟,却骨鲠在喉,不能以精确而严密的语言来组织和表达...
評分如此优秀的一本书,还是被“东西文库”译得错误百出,感到非常可惜。今天终于痛下决心,准备利用重读的机会,用英文版电子书对照,陆续挑出这本书中我认为比较严重的翻译错误(和错别字),供译者和各位高手批评指正!申明一下,我下这番笨功夫,没有别的意思,只是不认同这种...
