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 technology's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143120179\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Kevin Kelly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43084081430709,"sku":"9780143120179","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0da964bf-c780-47ce-a262-73914ea24dbf.jpg?v=1692110001","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/what-technology-wants-9780143120179","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
