Kevin Kelly è uno scrittore, fotografo e ambientalista statunitense. Studioso di cultura digitale e asiatica, è cofondatore della rivista Wired di cui è stato direttore. I suoi scritti sono apparsi su New York Times, Esquire, The Economist e altri importanti periodici.

Divenne noto soprattutto grazie al suo primo libro Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems, and the Economic World pubblicato nel 1994. Questo libro fu uno dei testi che gli attori della celebre saga Matrix dovettero leggere obbligatoriamente per entrare nella logica del film.

Nel 1994, Wired ha vinto il premio National Magazine Award per l'Eccellenza complessiva del prodotto. Kelly ha anche diretto riviste quali "Whole Earth Review", "CoEvolution Quarterly", "Signal", e alcune delle ultime edizioni del Whole Earth Catalog. Con il fondatore di Whole Earth, Stewart Brand, Kelly ha partecipato alla creazione di WELL, un'importante comunità virtuale. Ha diretto anche la Point Foundation, sponsor della prima conferenza internazionale degli hacker nel 1984 .

Kelly è noto come partecipante e osservatore della cosiddetta "cybercultura", anche se il suo sguardo si spinge senza dubbio oltre i limiti ristretti della sottocultura attuale. Attualmente Kelly promuove un inventario di tutte le specie viventi, un progetto conosciuto anche come Linnaean enterprise. Il progetto All Species Inventory ha ricevuto un finanziamento di un milione di dollari, per un progetto sottoscritto da molti centri di studio della biologia è considerato un' "idea il cui tempo è maturo". L'obiettivo è di realizzare un catalogo sulla rete di tutte le specie esistenti in una sola generazione .
