Provides an explanation to the lay reader of the science of artificial evolution. In recent years humans have built systems that approach the complexity of nature and these mechanical systems have shown unforeseen signs of life, evolution and learning. The author refers to these systems as "Emergent Worlds". The law of the "Emergent World" is that no one can be in control. For the book, Kevin Kelly has interviewed the leading researchers in the field. Kevin Kelly is the editor of "Whole Earth Review".

Kevin Kelly is Executive Editor of Wired, the new bible of the techno-culture. Formerly Publisher and Editor of Whole Earth Review, he has been instrumental in helping launch a number of cultural innovations: The Hacker's Conference; Cyberthon; the first virtual-reality jamboree; and the WELL, model way station on the information superhighway.
Out of Control chronicles the dawn of a new era in which the machines and systems that drive our economy are so complex and autonomous as to be indistinguishable from living things.
