If there is one overriding meme today it’s about fear. Fear of change, fear of a shrinking world, fear of the impact of technology; in short fear of an unknown future. Regardless of that fear, the future is inevitable. It’s the place we are all going to be living.

Even for those that are afraid to embrace it, they should at least understand it. Few see the future more clearly and are better able to explain it than WIRED founder Kevin Kelly. He lays out the agenda for future in The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future.

Do we see it as something as organic as evolution itself or simply a neutral forces, until shaped by the hands of man? Is technology a force unto itself, one to be reckoned with, or simply understood? In his new book What Technology Wants, Kelly presents on unconventional view of technology, as if it were an almost autonomous system.
