- 提供了极其丰富且准确的电话飞客历史细节
- 聚焦人物研究，展现极客群体的真实探索
在智能手机、Internet 和 personal computer 出现之前，一群由技术迷、盲人少年、嬉皮士和亡命之徒组成的边缘人群，摸索出了如何 hack 世界上最大的机器：电话系统。从 Alexander Graham Bell 革命性的 harmonic telegraph 开始，到二十世纪中叶，电话系统已发展成为一个非同寻常的存在——由顶尖的交换机和人工接线员构成的网络，以前所未有的方式将数百万人连接在一起。不幸的是，对于电话公司而言，这个网络存在一个价值数十亿美元的缺陷。而一旦人们……

……我觉得这本书有些不准确。这本书讲克利夫（Cliff）的故事，丝毫不亚于讲网线另一端那个神出鬼没的黑客，依我看，这也是它很大一部分魅力所在。《网络潜行者》（Ghost in the Wires）和《电话大爆炸》（Exploding the Phone）也都是很棒的真实故事。
…the book is, I think, inaccurate. The book as much a story a story about Cliff as the shadowy hacker on the other side of the wires, and that's a big part of its charm, IMHO. Ghost in the Wires, and Exploding the Phone are also good, and true stories.
……工作过，我相信这里的每个人都会有同感。它与其说是一部历史，不如说是一项人物研究。不过我挺喜欢这种题材的，我要把格特纳（Gertner）和拉默斯（Lammers）加到书单里。你或许可以试试菲尔·拉普斯利（Phil Lapsley）写的《电话大爆炸》（Exploding the Phone，讲电话黑客 phone phreaking 的）以及迈克尔·刘易斯（Michael Lewis）的《超级新新事物》（The New New Thing）。
…worked at, and I'm sure everyone here can say the same. It's less of a history and more of a study of people. I enjoy this genera though, and I'll add Gertner and Lammers to the list. You may want to try Exploding the Phone by Phil Lapsley (about phone phreaking) and The New New Thing by Michael Lweis.
……正是我所谓的“从源头讲起的黑客故事”。也就是说，那些从这个人当初究竟是如何产生兴趣开始写起的故事。读了拉普斯利的《电话大爆炸》（2013）之后，我终于彻底放下了这种执念，这本书的内容太充实了，单凭一己之力就满足了我对这类故事的所有渴求。对于感兴趣的人来说，《电话大爆炸》当然提供了大量关于 phreaking 的深入信息。作者……
…were what I called 'Hacker stories that start at the beginning'. That is, ones that start with how this person got interested in the first place. I finally put this desire to bed after reading Lapsley's Exploding the Phone (2013), which was so chock full that this book single handedly satisfied my need for them. Exploding of course gives much more information on the subject of phreaking to anybody interested. The author…
……http://www.amazon.com/Turings-Cathedral-Origins-Digital-Univ... 我推荐的其他好书还有史蒂文·利维（Steven Levy）的《黑客》（Hackers）http://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Heroes-Computer-Revolution-Ann... 以及菲尔·拉普斯利的《电话大爆炸》（Exploding the Phone）http://www.amazon.com/Exploding-Phone-Untold-Teenagers-Outla... 希望你喜欢！
…http://www.amazon.com/Turings-Cathedral-Origins-Digital-Univ... Other great titles I'd recommend is Steven Levy's "Hackers" http://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Heroes-Computer-Revolution-Ann... and Phil Lapsley's "Exploding the Phone" http://www.amazon.com/Exploding-Phone-Untold-Teenagers-Outla... Hope you enjoy!
……不对：把约翰·德雷珀（John Draper）称为最早的电话黑客之一，并把他当作其他人的代表，甚至声称是他发现了那个赋予他绰号的口哨，这完全是彻头彻尾的错误。想了解更准确的 phreaking 历史，去读读菲尔·拉普斯利的《电话大爆炸》吧。其次，依我看，那些“硅谷那帮人”——四处求资金来造新玩意的人——其实和学术环境……并没有太大区别。
…wrong: Calling John Draper one of the first phone phreaks, and treating him as representitive of the rest, or even claiming he made the discovery that gave him is nickname is just flat out incorrect. Read "Exploding the Phone," by Phil Lapsley, for a more accurate take on phreaking. Secondly, IMHO, those "sillicon valley types," people begging for capital to build new things, aren't dissimilar to the kind of academic environment…
《网络潜行者》（Ghost in the Wires）相较而言毫不逊色，它同样是一本个人回忆录，只不过是从黑客这一方来写的。《电话大爆炸》（Exploding the Phone）则是从局外人的视角切入，作者相对来说是个圈外人，信息全靠采访当事人搜集而来。不过，我觉得它比《网络潜行者》更……
Ghost in the Wires compares favorably, also being a personal memoir, although from the other side of hacking. Exploding the Phone takes an ousider's perspective, having been written by a relative outsider, and the information having been gathered from interviews with those involved. However, I would say it's better than Ghost in…
