In our age of big data, algorithms are in control—of traders on Wall Street, pilots in the cockpit, doctors at the hospital, and soldiers on the battlefield.  Increasingly, these systems run themselves.  We no longer need people to fly planes or perform surgeries; we don’t even need them to write the news.  What happens when machines become better at communicating with one another than humans are? 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.

From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Inevitable— a sweeping vision of technology as a living force that can expand our individual potential. In this provocative book, one of todays 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 technologys 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.

From one of our leading technology thinkers and writers, a guide through the twelve technological imperatives that will shape the next thirty years and transform our livesMuch of what will happen in the next thirty years is inevitable, driven by technological trends that are already in motion.  In this fascinating, provocative new book, Kevin Kelly provides an optimistic road map for the future, showing how the coming changes in our lives—from virtual reality in the home to an on-demand economy to artificial intelligence embedded in everything we manufacture—can be understood as the result of a few long-term, accelerating forces.  Kelly both describes these deep trends—flowing, screening, accessing, sharing, filtering, remixing, tracking, and questioning—and demonstrates how they overlap and are codependent on one another.  These larger forces will completely revolutionize the way we buy, work, learn, and communicate with each other. By understanding and embracing them, says Kelly, it will be easier for us to remain on top of the coming wave of changes and to arrange our day-to-day relationships with technology in ways that bring forth maximum benefits.  Kelly’s bright, hopeful book will be indispensable to anyone who seeks guidance on where their business, industry, or life is heading—what to invent, where to work, in what to invest, how to better reach customers, and what to begin to put into place—as this new world emerges.
