“这是一部关于 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 的权威历史著作，这家五角大楼旗下的机构在近六十年来悄然塑造了战争与科技的走向。该机构成立于 1958 年，旨在应对 Sputnik 发射带来的冲击，其最初的使命是打造‘未来难以想象的武器’。数十年来，DARPA 带来了无数早已远远超出军事领域的发明与技术。Sharon Weinberger 为我们生动记述了 DARPA 的成败得失、非凡创新与疯狂计划。我们得以窥见核终结的威胁如何

利克莱德（Licklider）是 ARPANET 背后的核心人物之一。莎伦·温伯格（Sharon Weinberger）写的《战争幻想家》（The Imagineers of War）详细介绍了他在 DARPA 期间的很多背景。我觉得特别值得注意的几点：* 利克莱德很有意识地避免相比 DARPA 其他项目拿到过多资金……
Licklider is one the main persons behind the ARPANET. The Imagineers of War by Sharon Weinberger has a lot of context on his time in DARPA. Few things that I found particularly notable: * Licklider was conscious about not having too much funding compared to other DARPA projects…
……战地报告对 AR-15 以及 5.56 毫米子弹的制止力大加赞赏，并力促其列装。对戈德尔先生（Mr Godel）的角色更感兴趣的人，请参考莎伦·温伯格的《战争幻想家》（The Imagineers of War）。
…battlefield reports lavishly praising the AR-15 and the stopping-power of the 5.56 mm cartridge, and pressed for its adoption. For those who are interested more in Mr Godel’s role, please refer to The Imagineers of War by Sharon Weinberger.

……面子工程，有些则产出了良好成果。好好审视一下这点。看看韩国在做什么。弄清楚为什么日本的 R&D 停滞不前。有两本关于 DARPA 的好书——《五角大楼的大脑》（The Pentagon's Brain）和《战争幻想家》（The Imagineers of War）。我读过第一本，但没读第二本。第一本能让你很好地了解这个机构是如何运转的。（时间过去很久了，但我曾参与过一个 DARPA 项目。）[1] https://www.darpa.mil/our-research
…boondoggles, some produce good results. Take a hard look at that. Look at what Korea is doing. Figure out why Japan's R&D stagnated. There are two good books about DARPA - "The Pentagon's Brain", and "The Imagineers of War". I've read the first, but not the second. The first gives a good sense of how the organization works. (It's been a long time, but I've worked on a DARPA program.) [1] https://www.darpa.mil/our-research
……最初构想出了我们现在称之为互联网（internet）的互联网络。有趣的是，当早期的“网络”方案被提交给加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）的学者们时，他们居然拒绝参与！[1] 莎伦·温伯格，《战争幻想家》（The Imagineers of War, 2017）。
…initially dreamt up the connected network we now know as the internet. Interestingly, when an early iteration of the 'net was put to UCLA academics, they refused to get involved! [1] Sharon Weinberger, The Imagineers of War (2017).
