为什么值得读
- 详述税务局界定宗教定义的博弈内幕
- 记录创始人与火箭工程师的复杂交集
- 调研扎实且比改编电影包含更多细节
基于对两百多位现任和前任科学教派成员（既有知名人士也有普通教徒）的面对面采访，以及多年的档案研究，Lawrence Wright 凭借其非凡的调查技能，向我们揭示了科学教派（Church of Scientology）的内部运作：它源自科幻作家 L. Ron Hubbard 的想象；为争取作为合法（且受法律承认的）宗教而经历的挣扎；渗透美国政府的庞大秘密行动；对批评者的报复性打击；惊人的巨额财富；以及其壮大……

目前我正在死磕 GEB[1]。上个月我读了：- 《The Dip》（篇幅极短，有几个不错的观点，但总体来说我不太喜欢）[2] - 《Going Clear》（好书一本，排版稀烂，但确实是好书）[3] - 《火星救援》（读起来很快，娱乐性极强，考据也很扎实）[4] 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach 2. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/the_dip/…
Currently I'm trudging through GEB[1]. Last month I read: - The Dip (super short read and has a few good points but overall I didn't really like it)[2] - Going Clear (great book, terrible formatting, but a great book)[3] - The Martian (short read, very entertaining and well researched)[4] 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach 2. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/the_dip/…
如果这事儿你感兴趣，去看看劳伦斯·赖特的《Going Clear》（拨云见日）吧，他还写了《末日巨塔》（The Looming Tower），也是一本非常精彩的书。
If that's interesting to you, check out _Going Clear_, by Lawrence Wright, who also wrote _The Looming Tower_, which is also an excellent book.
一个引人入胜的问题，正如其他人所指出的，不同国家的处理方式可能（而且确实）大不相同。劳伦斯·赖特的《Going Clear》（尤其是原著，比 HBO 改编的纪录片更甚）相当详尽地描述了美国国税局（IRS）当时面临的焦头烂额，因为他们突然得给“宗教”下一个定义。可想而知，这相当……
A fascinating question, and as noted by others, may (and does) vary depending on the country. Lawrence Wright's 'Going Clear' (more so the book than the HBO movie) goes into some detail about the apparent hand-wringing going on with the IRS as it suddenly had to come up with a definition of a religion. Predictably it's a pretty…
而且因为帕森斯的人生在 40 年代末与 L. 罗恩·贺伯特产生过交集，他在劳伦斯·赖特描写山达基教的优秀历史著作《Going Clear》（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Clear_(book)）中也占了很大篇幅。维基百科在这里总结了帕森斯和贺伯特的性魔法合作：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Parsons_(rocket_engineer)...
And because Parsons' life intersected in the late '40s with that of L. Ron Hubbard, he features prominently in Lawrence Wright's excellent history of Scientology Going Clear (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Clear_(book)) as well. Wikipedia summarizes Parsons' and Hubbard's sex-magic collaboration here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Parsons_(rocket_engineer)...

……把贺伯特引荐给了克劳利，最关键的是还有萨拉·诺斯鲁普。萨拉·诺斯鲁普后来成了 L·罗恩的妻子，曾协助开创戴尼提（Dianetics）和山达基教。我一口气接连读了 J.W. 卡特的《Sex and Rockets》和劳伦斯·赖特的《Going Clear》，两本书合在一起生动刻画了那个时代。如果你想进一步了解帕萨迪纳的东方圣殿骑士团（OTO）圈子，斯宾塞·坎萨写的关于玛乔丽·卡梅隆的《Wormwood Star》据说也不错，……
…introducing Hubbard to Crowely, and most notably Sara Northrup. Sara Northrup, later L Ron’s wife, helped develop Dianetics, and Scientology. I read J.W. Carter’s ”Sex and Rockets”, and Lawerence Wright’s “Going Clear” back to back, and together they paint a fascinating portrait of the time. If you want to round out the Pasadena OTO scene, Spencer Kansa’s “Wormwood Star” about Marjorie Cameron is supposed to be good,…
