具体描述

"More thriller than primer, this is the best technology book I have ever read." -Nicholas Negroponte, author of Being Digital

In this provocative book, one of today's most respected thinkers turns the conversation about technology on its head by viewing technology as a natural system, an extension of biological evolution. By mapping the behavior of life, we paradoxically get a glimpse at where technology is headed-or "what it wants." Kevin Kelly offers a dozen trajectories in the coming decades for this near-living system. And as we align ourselves with technology's agenda, we can capture its colossal potential. This visionary and optimistic book explores how technology gives our lives greater meaning and is a must-read for anyone curious about the future.

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...

相对于作者第一本书《失控》来说，这本书里新的东西很少，所以我只用了几个小时看完了本书，《失控》却是看了两三遍，想想老外们几十年前玩的东西我们国人至今未曾接触到，或者说我的眼界还不够宽广未曾看到，至少身为大众群体里的一员我是未曾接触到高新科技方面的东...
