2.《必然》The inevitable

When I picked up the book Out of Control in 2015, it felt like a sci-fi-inspired prophecy book that was extremely imaginative, yet it was a very accurate dissection of the past, present and future of internet technology. I was very surprised to learn that the book was published in the US back in 1994. Out of Control has been a bestseller for decades since its publication. When The Matrix was still in preparation for filming before 1999, the director required all the actors to read the book before opening the script. Now we are looking back at Runaway and the prophecies about the internet, about media, about artificial intelligence and so on have been fulfilled with precision. Kevin Kelly wrote a book that predicted the future, and now we see how accurate his predictions are, so it's impossible for him not to be mythical. So Runaway is a book that we now hold in our hands, and although some of the examples in it may be a little dated, the message and ideas that Kevin Kelly was trying to prophesy at the time are becoming more and more real and visible!
译文：
《失控》这本书当我2015年拿起来的时候，感觉这是一本充满科幻趣味的预言书，其中包含了极其丰富的想象力，但是它却又很精准的剖析了互联网科技的过去，现在以及未来。让我非常惊讶的是，这本书居然是早在1994年就在美国出版了。《失控》从出版之后就在几十年的时间里畅销不衰。在1999年之前《黑客帝国》还在筹备拍摄的时候，导演要求所有的演员在打开电影剧本之前，必须要阅读《失控》这本书。现在我们在回看《失控》，里面的关于互联网、关于媒体、关于人工智能等等的预言已经精准的被一一实现了。凯文凯利写出这样一本预言未来的书，并且现在我们看到他的预言又是多么的精准，那他想不被神话也不可能啊。所以《失控》这本书我们现在捧在手里的时候，尽管里面的一些例子可能会有些过时，但是凯文凯利在当时所要预言的信息和思想反而越来越变得真实可见！
