Kevin Kelly

传记与作者历程
Kevin Kelly was born in Pennsylvania in 1952 and graduated from Westfield High School in New Jersey in 1970. He attended the University of Rhode Island for a year, then left without earning a degree, a choice he later described as one of the best decisions of his life because it sent him toward the education he wanted: travel, fieldwork, and self-direction. Through the 1970s he moved through Asia as a low-budget photographer, worked briefly in Tehran, crossed the United States by bicycle, and underwent a religious conversion experience in Jerusalem. Those years established the pattern that would define his career: learning by immersion, moving easily between technology, culture, nature, and belief. ((https://kk.org/biography))
