“一切始于《Software》，叛变机器人通过吃掉人类创造者的大脑赋予了他永生。在《Wetware》中，机器人决定开始制造人类，而人类则沉迷于一种名为‘merge’的疯狂新型毒品。到了《Freeware》，机器人已经演化成被称为‘moldies’的软塑料蛞蝓，一些人类‘傻瓜’（cheeseballs）甚至想和它们发生性关系。随着外星人以宇宙射线的形式陆续降临，冲突进一步加剧。而在《Realware》中，人类与机器人共同迈向了更高的层次”——封四介绍。

鲁迪·拉克（Rudy Rucker）的《Ware》四部曲[1]。不过说实话第四本我还没读（目前还没）。一个极其精彩的故事，里面有一堆机器人。还有冰淇淋车……[1] http://amzn.com/1607012111

顺着这个话题，我想推荐鲁迪·拉克写的《Ware》四部曲。拉克当年在细胞自动机（cellular automata）领域做了不少研究。
On this tangent, I want to recommend the Ware Tetralogy by Rudy Rucker. Rucker did a lot of work on cellular automata in his day.
还可以再加上鲁迪·拉克的《Ware》四部曲。
Another addition would be Rudy Rucker's Ware Tetralogy.
……吉恩·沃尔夫（Gene Wolfe）的系列，从《拷问者之影》（Shadow of the Torturer）开始。这书没法解释，去读就对了。沃尔夫以前是个工程师，还帮着设计了造品客薯片的机器。附赠推荐：鲁迪·拉克的《Ware》四部曲。一本既搞笑又发人深省的赛博朋克小说。作者是个数学教授，80年代还在 Autodesk 干过一阵子。第二个附赠推荐：福尔摩斯探案集、爱伦·坡的全部作品，以及 H.P.……的全部作品
…Gene Wolfe’s series, starting with Shadow of the Torturer. Can’t explain this one, just read it. Wolfe was an engineer, he helped to create the machine for manufacturing pringles. Bonus: Rudy Rucker’s Ware Tetralogy. A hilarious and thought-provoking cyberpunk book. The author is a Mathematics professor who worked at Autodesk for some time in the 80s. 2nd bonus: Sherlock Holmes, all of Poe’s work and all of H.P.…
……同时看一本19世纪的书。修改#2：好吧，看来现在好多人都在看这个，肯定比我想象的还要火。尼尔·斯蒂芬森（Neal Stephenson）——《钻石时代》（Diamond Age）；鲁迪·拉克——《Ware》四部曲（老派赛博朋克 / 硬核高概念科幻。我去年读了拉克的《Juicy Ghosts》，超级喜欢他那些天马行空的脑洞。虽然《Juicy Ghosts》有时候看得我很懵，但那哥们儿能构思出来的概念……
…a book from the 19th century at the same time. EDIT#2: okay, a bunch of people seem to be reading this right now, must be even more popular than i thought. Neal Stevenson - Diamond Age Rudy Rucker - Ware Tetralogy (old-school cyberpunk / high-scifi. i read Juicy Ghosts by Rucker last year and really dig his extravagant ideas. I had trouble understanding Juicy Ghosts at times, but the concepts that man is able to…
我很惊讶居然没人提到鲁迪·拉克，这篇博文就是出自他的博客。有人认为是他创作了第一部赛博朋克小说，书名叫《软件》（Software）。这就是他的“Ware 四部曲”（《Software》《Wetware》《Realware》《Freeware》）里的第一本，我绝对推荐去看一看。
I'm surprised no one has mentioned anything about Rudy Rucker, whose blog this is from. Some credit him with authoring the first cyber punk novel, which was titled 'Software.' It's the first in his 'Ware Tetralogy' (Software, Wetware, Realware, Freeware) which I'd certainly recommend checking out.
