Kevin Kelly is Senior Maverick at Wired magazine. He co-founded Wired in 1993, and served as its Executive Editor from its inception until 1999. He has just completed a book for Viking/Penguin publishers called "What Technology Wants," due out in the Fall 2010. He is also editor and publisher of the Cool Tools website, which gets half a million unique visitors per month. From 1984-1990 Kelly was publisher and editor of the Whole Earth Review, a journal of unorthodox technical news. He co-founded the ongoing Hackers' Conference, and was involved with the launch of the WELL, a pioneering online service started in 1985. He authored the best-selling New Rules for the New Economy and the classic book on decentralized emergent systems, Out of Control.
A refreshing view of technology as a living force in the world.
This provocative book introduces a brand-new view of technology. It suggests that technology as a whole is not a jumble of wires and metal but a living, evolving organism that has its own unconscious needs and tendencies. Kevin Kelly looks out through the eyes of this global technological system to discover "what it wants." He uses vivid examples from the past to trace technology's long course and then follows a dozen trajectories of technology into the near future to project where technology is headed. This new theory of technology offers three practical lessons: By listening to what technology wants we can better prepare ourselves and our children for the inevitable technologies to come. By adopting the principles of pro-action and engagement, we can steer technologies into their best roles. And by aligning ourselves with the long-term imperatives of this near-living system, we can capture its full gifts. Written in intelligent and accessible language, this is a fascinating, innovative, and optimistic look at how humanity and technology join to produce increasing opportunities in the world and how technology can give our lives greater meaning.
通读了两遍《科技想要什么》后,我将总结下K.K在本书的论述中所体现的思维方式和推理思路: 1. 间断的思考和无条理地组织思路 首先,本书大量地出现破折号和括号,用以作补充阐述。这并非只有偶然几处,而是随处可见;数量如此之大,我们不得不怀疑K.K的思路并不是顺畅的、有...
评分一本奇异的书。 随着阅读的推进,不断重塑认知的边界,一层一层抬升视野。 当我们逐渐意识到,科技或者说所有纵横在时空里的人类活动,都具有独立生命体一般的自我演化能力和逻辑,并由此窥见一些走势与未来的时候,甚至会在刹那间有一种属神的喜悦。 翻译也很好,向译者致敬!
评分 评分读完此书觉得(个人)对这个世界再没有什么特别重大的疑惑了。我的认知界限也就到这里了。 人是什么,从哪里来到哪里去? 生物是什么,从哪里来到哪里去? 宇宙是什么,从哪里来到哪里去? 人工创造物与自然创造物的关系是否必定紧张,它们有接合点吗? 人文知识与物理知识有没...
评分如果生活中没有网络,我会是今天这个样子么? 答案一定不是。更好或更坏就说不准了,但是从某种程度上我喜欢网络带给我的变化。 使满足感最优化 和使选择最优化这是一对矛盾的选择。 超简约主义者获得满足感的同时失去了探索能力。他们没有认识到而且也不能发现自己的潜力。 ...
真没想到我真的把这书的原版啃完了!这是一本很有意思的探讨过去和未来的书。以创造更多可能性为基础的论点也很有意思。推荐读一读。
评分"最终翻译还是没能选上我,CV太不impressive"
评分经过多次尝试,我发现KK在书中呈现的庞然大物和其中的哲学或者观点实在难以用简评概括。所以如果感兴趣的话,以下传送门会比较有帮助 ; ) :http://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_kelly_on_how_technology_evolves.html
