Computers and Society Book Reviews Page 38 September 1995 Out of Control: The Rise of Neo-Biological Civilization Kevin Kelly Addison-Wesley, 1994 R e v i e w e d by: J o e P o d o l s k y podolsky@hpcc01.corp.hp.com Every engineering bone in my body screams in protest.

I want to give my user managers control over their processes. But I've never seen a really large project work right the first time, even my own. Some famous ones, like the Denver airport, become fiascoes and revenue faucets for liability lawyers. Others, like the Panama Canal or the more recent English/French Channel burn out generations of financiers, politicians, and engineers before they learn enough to get the task done. Kelly
