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.
具体描述
读后感
书名《失控》，英文《Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World》，听起来挺唬人，再加上黑黄色的封面，让人以为又是一本写于90年代的末日论著作。 实际上这是一本充满浪漫主义情怀的书。它描述了随着逐步放弃对机器的精确控制，...
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...
评分很幸运年终前能读到两本出版已久的好书：查理芒格《穷查理宝典》及KK的《失控》。 查理在前书中指出，一般人只要能掌握几门基础学科——如数学、物理、生物学、心理学等——的十几种基本模式，就正确认识和分析生活中相当多的问题。而KK在《失控》中也不断重复，指要在基本基...
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： ...

用户评价
许久没有挑战厚厚的英文书了，10月能看完这一本就很不错了。
评分无比经典
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。
