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.

研读《失控》，就如同一次冒险之旅，你会发现自己正身处一个不断拓展的可能性之库，一个开放的大千世界，甚至分不清是真实还是梦境。 原链接：http://dongxi.net/b04XW 技术超验主义者的生命之书 ——评凯文·凯利《失控》 梭罗这人有脑子 月亮照着他的鼻子 …… 梭罗这人有脑...
评分——《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...
评分“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...
评分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...
评分钟表般的精确逻辑——也即机械的逻辑——只能用来建造简单的装置。真正复杂的系统，比如细胞、草原、经济体或者大脑（不管是自然的还是人工的）都需要一种地道的非技术的逻辑。 生命中到底有多少东西是能被转化的，仍然是一个神奇的谜团。到目前为止，那些原属于生命体但却成...

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。
