Out Of Control : The New Biology Of Machines, Social Systems, And The Economic World

The book took a long time to get to me and I complained - the company was right on it - they gave me back my money and apologized. Then, the book arrived a week later. The company did not re-bill me through Amazon but asked that I settle up with them through PayPal. I did. I find that they are service oriented and willing to lose the sale rather than lose the customer - I would order from this company again.

603 thiemeworks.com -1 ThiemeWorks - Kevin Kelly's Out of Control 617 voicenet.com -1 "The Nine Laws of God" 626 www-users.cs.york.ac.uk -1 SS > NF reviews > Kevin Kelly 642 This is a book about how our manufactured world has become so complex that the only way to create yet more complex things is by using the principles of biology. This means decentralized, bottom up control, evolutionary advances and error-honoring institutions. I also get into the new laws of wealth in a network-based economy, what the Biosphere 2 project in Arizona has or has not to teach us, and whether large systems can predict or be predicted. And more: restoration biology, encryption, a-life, and the lessons of hypertext. Yes, it's a romp, in 520 pages. But the best part, my friends tell me, is the 28-page annotated bibliography. If you have suspected that technology could be better, more life-like, then this book is for you. -- Product Description In a book about the marriage of the born and the made--the biologicalization of everything from computers to government--the executive editor of Wired chronicles the dawn of a new era in which the machines and systems that drive our economy are so complex and autonomous as to be indistinguishable from living things Out of Control chronicles the dawn of a new era in which the machines and systems that drive our economy are so complex and autonomous as to be indistinguishable from living things. Kevin Kelly. A William Patrick Book. Includes Bibliographical References (p. 475-500) And Index.
