Still Out of Control
KEVIN KELLY
JUN 08, 2026



Eventually Out of Control was translated into a few other languages.
I published Out of Control 32 years ago (1994). I started writing it in 1989, which is a long time in the past for a book that promises to talk about the future. A lot in our world has changed in that time, including our attitudes about the future. Far too much has happened in the world of technology to be summed up in this note. But it is fair to wonder: how well has my book held up for the past 32 years? Is Out of Control still valid? Is it worth reading today? And what might I have written differently given what I know today? What, if anything, would I change?
