我在互联网泡沫最顶峰的时候,碰巧读了特罗洛普的《The Way We Live Now》,里面对铁路狂热(railway mania)的剖析堪称一绝。一边读着书里的故事,一边看着现实中同步上演的闹剧,阅读体验简直拉满。
I happened to read Trollope's The Way We Live Now, which is a fantastic take on the railway mania, at the height of the dot com bubble. Really increased the enjoyment to read about it and see it unfold in real time.
