Out of Control: the New Biology of Machines, Social Systems and the Economic World, according to Kevin Kelly
<p>In 1992, Kevin Kelly’s book ‘<strong>Out of Control: the New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World</strong>’ attempted to throw light on the new era of complexity brought on by the synergy of computers, networks, and human evolution. In the book’s introduction, Kelly sat inside the <strong>Biosphere 2</strong> project (a closed ecological system in Oracle, Arizona) and reflected:</p>
<p>“<strong><em>The realm of the born — all that is nature — and the realm of the made — all that is humanly constructed — are becoming one. Machines are becoming biological and the biological is becoming engineered …Clockwork logic — the logic of the machines — will only build simple contraptions. Truly complex systems such as a cell, a meadow, an economy, or a brain (natural or artificial) require a rigorous nontechnological logic.</em></strong>”</p>
