Too wordy for what it's worth
评分Masterpiece.
评分《失控》英文原版
评分这本写于20年前的书,让我又回到那个对世界充满思考的年代。那时候关心的不是政治,也不是经济,而是科学和哲学。阅读,让我重新认识到还有很多有趣的事情值得去做。

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.
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.
昨天晚上目睹了一帮YY的中国人,向KK灌输YY新词汇。比如:togayther、吃豆腐、闷骚以及saoism……KK说,人们都是这样啊,学坏单词总是比学好单词要快。 很难想象KK这样的一代思想大师,会跟这些YY的家伙们这样happy。 KK偶尔会冒出几句简短的中文,发音很标准,一二三四声都...
评分作为新星出版社的一名员工,我很荣幸的成为了中国前10名看到《失控》中文版的读者。而且作为KK中国行的跟拍摄影,我也非常近距离的接触到了KK本人,所以我下了这样一个标题:Nice的人与Nice的书。 KK中国行照片:http://www.douban.com/photos/album/38479413/ 《失控》7...

评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...
评分《失控》第一章即开篇明义:人造与天生的联姻正是本书的主题。KK指出,人造物与自然生命之间有两种趋势正在发生: 1. 人造物表现得越来越像生命体; 2. 生命变得越来越工程化。 从第二章至第二十三章,均在阐述这一个主题。在全书最后一章即二十四章,KK总结了造物九律: ...
