What Technology Wants book cover

What Technology Wants

Kevin Kelly

Explore the interconnected stage of technological development with an analogy to biological evolution in this book. The author argues that the "technium" exhibits a similar tendency towards self-organizing complexity. Discover the benefits of treating tools as servants of self and society rather than out-of-control masters. The former editor of Wired magazine offers an optimist outlook on the ramifications of technology in human welfare and achievement.

Fascinating historical and philosophical perspective on technology, where it's come from, where it's going.      source

Reading "What Technology Wants" by @kevin2kelly (its great) makes me realize how long its been since I read a good non-fiction book. Books have lost the non-ficiton crown forever, IMO. Great books will persist. But something other than a book is almost always better now.      source
