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.

讀後感
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...
評分《失控》读完半个月了。很久没在看完一本书之后沉吟这么久。并不仅仅因为书写的好，更因为机缘巧合：这书恰恰补上了长久以来我世界观拼图里缺的那一块。 号称学了生物专业，生物化学、分子生物学之类早忘得一干二净，就算当初也没记住过多少。聊以慰藉的，是对生命有一个还算宏...
評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...
評分——《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...
評分“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Too wordy for what it's worth
评分If scientists debunk truth like this, sooner or later we are going to believe in nothing. This book completely smashed my faith in intelligence, the origin of life, and pretty much everything else. I guess secretly, I am just another anthropocentric narcissist.
