  • What Technology Wants

    作者:Kevin Kelly

    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.
  • 技术元素

    作者:[美] 凯文·凯利

    我会将我不成熟的想法、笔记、内心争论、草稿以及对其他文章的回应都写在《技术元素》中,这样我就能知道自己到底在想些什么。——KK “技术元素”(technium)是凯文•凯利专门创造出来的词语。“技术元素不仅仅包括一些具象的技术(例如汽车、雷达和计算机等),它还包括文化、 法律、社会机构和所有的智能创造物。”简而言之,技术元素就是从人的意识中涌现出来的一切。KK把这种科技的延伸面看成一个能产生自我动 力的整体。 本书继承了《失控》和《新经济的新规则》的思考体系,谈到了文明进化、数字出版、免费经济、人工智能、物联网、数字化生活等热议的话题。而更深层次的是,KK希望借此讨论:技术元素的本质是什么?人类应该拥抱还是拒绝它?人类对它本身的未来发展究竟有多少把握?KK把对这些疑惑的理解都写在了《技术元素》里。相比于KK之前的著作,本书将更通俗易懂,文章中涉及到的领域、所举的事例都更贴近当下人们的生活体验。而阅读这样一本书,将能最贴近地了解到KK在思考什么。 试读:http://site.douban.com/widget/notes/7736184/note/210517634/
  • 银带

    作者:Kevin Kelly , Steve

    这部漫画的主旨是:技术也可以有精神,也就是说,技术的进步不仅仅是物质的,也是精神的。技术并不是无灵魂的,它可以拥有精神品质。在我们越来越迅疾地奔向未来时,不应忘了我们精神的一面。这听上去像是把许多哲学塞进了一本漫画书,但是相信我,你恨不得一口气把它读完。这是一个情节紧张而惊悚的故事,混合了神秘主义色彩和谋杀。整个故事发生在旧金山,就在硅谷的中心地带。这里很快就会出现**批有意识的机器人!当这一时刻来临时,人们又会如何反应呢?我预测*国很快会成为世界上*大的智能机器人生产国和消费国。因此有必要现在就开始排练一下,当遇到一个机器人告诉你他有灵魂时,你会怎样回应呢?
