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
（按：这不是一篇书评，不过能帮助大家对本书作者有更多了解。比如，我很惊讶他以前居然不用笔记本。而且他不使用智能手机，不爱上推特和Facebook。） 大家喜欢把 Kevin Kelly 叫作 KK。 今天是 KK 到中国的第三天，按计划，今日行程是爬长城。 早上8点到 KK 所住酒店，因为...
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...
评分在一个书面阅读能力严重退化的时代，我很怀疑有多少人能坚持读完这本《失控》，它厚达700页，价格88元，但它的确是一本有深度的好书。 《失控》的作者凯文·凯利被人亲昵称为KK，他是《连线》杂志的创始人，在创办《连线》之前，他是《全球概览》杂志的编辑和出版人，这可是当...
评分《失控》第八章：控制的兴趣，共6小节，分别为：密封的瓶装生命、邮购盖亚、人与绿藻息息相关、巨大的生态技术玻璃球、在持久的混沌中进行的实验和另外一种合成生态系统 在第六节另外一种生态系统中有这样一句话：“在封闭系统中，共同进化的多样性得到了集中体现。把虾倒进一...
评分书名《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，...
