It also links closed systems, artificial evolution, e-money, and post-Darwinism to show how adaptation, complexity, and feedback drive ongoing transformation.","Out of Control  \nthe New Biology of Machines, Social Systems and the Economic World  \nKevin Kelly  \nIllustrated Edition  \nPhotos by Kevin Kelly  \nCopyright © 􀀱994 by Kevin Kelly Photos Copyright © 2008 by Kevin Kelly  \nc o n t e n t s  \n􀀱 The Made and The Born 6  \nneo-biological civilization 6  \nThe triumph of the bio-logic 7  \nLearning to surrender our creations 8  \n2 hive Mind 9  \nBees do it: distributed governance 9  \nThe collective intelligence of a mob 􀀱 􀀱  \nasymmetrical invisible hands 􀀱3  \ndecentralized remembering as an act of perception 􀀱5 More is more than more, it’s different 20  \nadvantages and disadvantages of swarms 2􀀱 The network is the icon of the 2􀀱 st century 25  \n3 MaChines wiTh an aTTiTude 28  \nentertaining machines with bodies 28  \nFast, cheap and out of control 37  \nGetting smart from dumb things 4􀀱 The virtues of nested hierarchies 44  \nusing the real world to communicate 46  \nno intelligence without bodies 48  \nMind/body black patch psychosis 49  \n4 asseMBLinG CoMPLexiTy 55  \nBiology: the future of machines 55  \nRestoring a prairie with fire and oozy seeds 58  \nrandom paths to a stable ecosystem 60  \nhow to do everything at once 62  \nThe humpty dumpty challenge 65  \n5 CoevoLuTion 67  \nwhat color is a chameleon on a mirror?
