Kevin Kelly

What people on Hacker News said
Technology evolves through the same sort of Darwinian process that life evolves. Technology is in some sense alive, and Kelly's perspective on it is wonderfully refreshing.
Technology is a living organism and there are patterns to the technology evolution, not unlike the organic evolution.
I highly recommend reading this book. The title describes what the book is about ~ as a hacker it might just make you rethink everything you do.
