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.

读后感
《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： ...
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...
评分因为豆瓣说区区几个字的空间实在无法容纳我看完之后的心情描述，所以转为评论。 本来在这段无新鲜感、无生气又无可奈何额背书时光里想偷闲，所以随便翻了本电子书换换思路。可这一翻，发现这本书的思想之宏伟深邃，远远不可简单估量，因此，放弃了整整连续4天的复习时光，全身...
