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.
http://shiyuhang.org/blog/1652.html 前几天凤凰卫视某连线节目采访江平,问他关于“小悦悦”事件的立法建议,出乎意料的是,这位法学界的泰斗并没有给立法执法方面提出太多意见,而是建议增加公共场合的摄像头。显然,如果不是摄像头记录下“十八铜人”令人发指的冷漠,一个...
评分这是我第一次结识KK。《失控》的大名听说了很久,但一直没有拜读。这本《科技想要什么》的核心观点很吸引我:科技是具有生命力的。这听起来很科幻。我相信每个人都不太相信这个论述,但却对这个论述充满期待——我就是其中之一。 说实话,看过三章后,我有些失望。首先,显然...
评分按:最近中信出版社出版了凯文·凯利(Kevin Kelly,后简称KK)《技术想要什么》一书中文版(中信版译为《科技想要什么》),第一时间买来读完之后发现,作为一部技术哲学书,KK写得极好看,数据翔实,逻辑分析清晰透彻,语言(译文)简洁生动。非常具有启发性和思考性。是我最...

评分读完此书觉得(个人)对这个世界再没有什么特别重大的疑惑了。我的认知界限也就到这里了。 人是什么,从哪里来到哪里去? 生物是什么,从哪里来到哪里去? 宇宙是什么,从哪里来到哪里去? 人工创造物与自然创造物的关系是否必定紧张,它们有接合点吗? 人文知识与物理知识有没...
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。
评分当人类出现自我意识的那一瞬间,上帝被推崇为完美的存在,若有一天人类发明的机器出现了自我意识,人类是否也就站到了上帝的位置?
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。
评分勉强读完N
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。
