Slow glass 曾是一种有趣的科学玩具。光穿透它的速度如此之慢，透过一片慢镜，你可能会看到另一侧五分钟前——甚至是五年前发生的事情。然而，当大型新型喷气客机开始坠毁、车祸呈天文数字剧增、死伤和灾难接踵而至暴露出其真正的潜在力量时，它便不再只是玩具了。当勒索者发现可以用它窥探任何受害者的秘密生活，当政府官员发现它可以在任何时间、任何地点监控任何人时，它就彻底与玩具无关了。

有意思。这个想法几乎原原本本地出现在 Bob Shaw 1972 年的科幻集《他日异眼》（Other Days, Other Eyes）结尾处。起初的前提是发明了“慢光玻璃”（slow glass），看似是个无关紧要的噱头，最终却彻底变革了方方面面，而最后一部分则设想了一个令人不安的监控社会……
Interesting. This idea appears pretty much exactly at the end of Bob Shaw's 1972 SFnal collection Other Days, Other Eyes. The starting premise is the invention of "slow glass" that looks like an irrelevant gimmick but ends up revolutionizing all sorts of things, and the final bits envisage a disturbing surveillance society…
