---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin Kelly <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 3:18 PM Subject: What Technology Wants Hello Friend, My last book appeared 12 years ago. That's a lifetime in internet years. Since that time I've been laboring on a monumental new book called "What Technology Wants." I am relieved that this long-overdue work is finally done, and delighted that Penguin/Viking did a fabulous job in publishing it. The cover is cool, too. It premiers today. As of a few hours ago "What Technology Wants" is available on Amazon in hardcover, Kindle, and audio versions, and at your favorite online or brick bookstore. I feel like shouting from the rooftops. In this book I explore the deeper "meaning" of technology. I view our human world through the eyes of technology, as if it were a living organism, independent of us. I learned a lot from this investigation, and I think I found some answers that helped me evaluate technology in my own life, in a way that might help you do the same. I also changed my mind in the course of writing it and reluctantly concluded that most new technology is inevitable, and so we should make the most of that inevitability. I suppose this book will be controversial. More about "What Technology Wants" can be found on my website, including a lot of flattering endorsements from people I respect, and a few early reviews and mentions, such as ones in the New York Times, Scientific American and the Economist. You have my email. I welcome feedback on the book, comments, tweets, reviews on your blog or Amazon, mentions, and inquiries. I can say without exaggeration that I wrote this book for you, in the hope that as you read it you will be refreshed and encouraged by its grand message of optimism and possibility. Rejoice!
