作为1986年最受赞誉的小说之一，Vikram Seth 的这部韵体小说使他在美国和印度都成为家喻户晓的文学名家。生活在1980年代旧金山的成功雅皮士 John Brown 在报纸上刊登征友广告后结识了心仪的对象 Liz。通过这段交集，John 结识了各色人物，每个人都有着自己的一套价值观和“自我实现”的理念。然而，Liz 却渐渐爱上了 John 最要好的朋友，John 这才意识到，他的自我发现之旅其实才刚刚开始。

……以及它必然会被投入的用途。短则数月，而非数年。如果你心中已有神明，祈祷吧；如果没有，很快就会有人用数学捏出一个来。如果你想找点东西读读，维克拉姆·塞斯（Vikram Seth）的《金门》（The Golden Gate）是个不错的开端，它极其轻巧地触及了核武器研发——可以说是“似写非写，意在言外”。[先声明：我自己就辞掉了一份 AI 方面的工作……

"Microsoft’s new CEO finds relaxation by reading poetry, in all forms and by poets who are both Indian and American." Wonder if he has read Vikram Seth's Golden Gate. Looks to be an interesting person despite the corpspeak.
> 既然这是在 HN……写硅谷的诗人们都去哪儿了？ 去看看维克拉姆·塞斯1986年的诗体小说《金门》[0]吧，里面提到了处于相对早期阶段的硅谷，甚至在开篇几行就用到了 RAM 和 ROM 这类词汇。斯坦尼斯瓦夫·莱姆在《机器人大师导论》（The Cyberiad）里也写过一首关于计算机的诗。[1] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Gate_(Seth_novel)…
> This being HN... where are the poets writing about Silicon Valley See Vikram Seth's 1986 novel in verse The Golden Gate [0], which mentions a Silicon Valley in its relatively early years and even drops the terms RAM and ROM in the first lines.
