“在 Faster 中,James Gleick 探讨的正是千禧之交的人类生存境况。他凭借富有探索性与剖析力的报道眼光——以及狡黠的智慧——照亮了时间最新的悖论。他的旅程带领我们穿行于一场我们几乎未曾意识到自己正身处其中的战争堡垒与堑壕:从 Directorate of Time 的原子钟,到凝聚我们不耐烦情绪的候诊室;从考验我们感知高速极限的电影制作工作室,到赋予时间压力全新意义的空中交通管制中心。”——封面护封介绍。

  • ……性能测试结果时我想:靠,这玩意太强了。)再加上量子比特(qubit)的崛起,接下来的50年绝对会比过去的50年还要疯狂。没错,我就是詹姆斯·格雷克门派的信徒。《加速》(Faster)简直就是一本预言书[1]。[1] https://www.amazon.com/Faster-Acceleration-Just-About-Everyt...

    …performance results I thought: sh*t, this is big.) Add to this the rise of the qubit, and the next 50 years are going to be even crazier than the last 50. Yes, I am a proselytizer of school of James Gleick. "Faster" was a prophecy[1]. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Faster-Acceleration-Just-About-Everyt...

  • 詹姆斯·格雷克在他那本非常有趣的书《加速》(Faster)中探讨了这个主题,这也是对现代生活节奏不断加快这一更广泛现象探讨的一部分。有兴趣的话,这本书的网站在 http://fasterbook.com/,关于关门按钮那一章在这里:http://fasterbook.com/cgi-bin/faster/fchapter.pl?3

    James Gleick explores this theme in his very enjoyable book Faster, as part of a broader look at the accelerating pace of modern life.

  • 詹姆斯·格雷克的书我都超级喜欢。我推荐《加速》(Faster)、《信息简史》(The Information)和《混沌》(Chaos)。

    I love everything by James Gleick. I recommend Faster, The Information, and Chaos.

  • 这让我想起了詹姆斯·格雷克在九十年代写的一本书《加速》(Faster)。里面有一章讲电梯是限制建筑高度的瓶颈,不过我隐约记得书中说主要是受限于井道空间,而不是钢缆强度。

    This reminds me of a book back from the nineties called "Faster" by James Gleick. There was a chapter on lifts being the limit to building height, although I seem to recall it was more down to shaft space rather than cable strength.
