《Newton's Wake》水准参差不齐。有些部分我挺喜欢，有些部分就普普通通（meh）。如果你想再给麦克劳德（MacLeod）一次机会，我认为他最好的书是《The Cassini Division》和《The Stone Canal》；它们同属一个四部曲，但这群书里这两本最棒，而且在主题上非常搭，读了一本就应该把另一本也读了。（在某种程度上，它们向我们展示了相同的背景设定…
Newton's Wake is kind of variable. Some bits I like, some bits are meh. If you feel like giving Macleod another try, I think his best books are The Cassini Division and The Stone Canal; they're part of a quartet, but these two books are the best and are very much a thematic pair, and if you read one you should read them both. (In part they show us the same setting…

…革命（Fall Revolution）[0] 系列。神作，我完全赞同金·史丹利·罗宾逊（Kim Stanley Robinson）的评价：“他正在书写革命性的科幻小说。我们的天空中升起了一颗新星。”[0] 《The Star Fraction》、《The Stone Canal》、《The Cassini Division》和《The Sky Road》。
…Revolution [0] series. Great stuff, and I totally agree with Kim Stanley Robinson's assessment: "He is writing revolutionary SF. A nova has appeared in our sky." [0] The Star Fraction, The Stone Canal, The Cassini Division, and The Sky Road.
“坠落的革命”（Fall Revolution）系列里也藏了大量的 CS（计算机科学）知识：《The Star Fraction》、《The Cassini Division》、《The Stone Canal》和《The Sky Road》。每一本都值得反复品读！我也很奇怪麦克劳德为什么没有获得更多的关注！这么有才华的作家！想读读关于…
There is a lot of CS hidden in the Fall Revolution series, too: The Star Fraction, The Cassini Division, The Stone Canal, and The Sky Road. All of them worth reading and reading again! I am also quite surprised that MacLeod does not get much more attention! Such a brilliant author! Want to read about a…
…随手吐槽 DRM 的地方：“不知出于什么原因，古代人加密了所有记录，然后把所有密钥都扔了，这就是为什么我们对他们一无所知……”肯·麦克劳德，《The Star Fraction》/《The Cassini Division》/《The Stone Canal》/《The Sky Road》（Fall Revolution 系列）。没错，里面确实有一大堆托洛茨基分子！在！太——空——里！但它也严肃地探讨了技术变革如何影响社会结构…

…离去。宇宙是有限的，而我们的欲望是无穷的。如果你想看看一个建立在如此冷酷残酷真相之上的世界是什么样子，我建议从这里开始看起。http://bactra.org/reviews/cassini-division/true-knowledge.ht... http://crookedtimber.org/2015/05/19/ken-macleod-seminar-2/ http://crookedtimber.org/2015/05/15/rationalism-and-the-true...

想要看看在这种情况下一度陷入（合乎情理的）偏执的未来人类，可以参阅肯·麦克劳德的《The Cassini Division》。
For a glimpse at a future humanity driven to (understandable) paranoia by this scenario, see Ken MacLeod's _The Cassini Division_.
