Kevin Kelly is one of the leading and deepest thinkers on the technology of our time. A startling percentage of what has been meaningfully said about technology in the past quarter-century can be traced back to him, something we don’t say lightly.   

Kevin Kelly co-founded Wired in 1993 and served as its executive editor for seven years. He has written a number of best-selling books including New Rules for the New Economy, Out of Control, The Inevitable, and What Technology Wants.

In this conversation we focus on sketching out the nature of technology and software, the relationship between technology and change, the limitations of software, and Kevin’s 1998 gem, New Rules for the New Economy, which outlines principles to navigate a world transformed by software and the internet.
