Reminds me of John Varley's book Steel Beach. Set in the future, humans live on the Moon and everyone on Luna is connected to the central computer (CC) which behaves at once as government, friend, guide, psychologist, encyclopaedia and diary. Fascinating…
这让我想起了约翰·瓦利在《钢铁海滩》里写的“第一宽容派名流圣徒教堂”(First Latitudinarian Church of Celebrity Saints)。他们的神殿里有经典的圆角矩形 CRT 玻璃显像管。
This reminds me of the First Latitudinarian Church of Celebrity Saints, from John Varley's Steel Beach. Their temple features glass tubes in the rounded-rectangle of classic CRTs.
FYI, my comment was a nebulous reference to "Steel Beach" by John Varley, about a future space civilization where dinosaurs had been cloned and were raised as game meat. No sense of humor around here, looks like. The fact is, if we could revive dinosaurs,…
正在重读约翰·瓦利的《钢铁海滩》。算是 1992 年一部后奇点题材的欢闹之作。加里·拉赫曼的《政治与神秘学》(Politics And The Occult),名副其实,讲的是政治中神秘学运动的历史。珍妮·乌格洛的《月光社社友》(The Lunar Men)……
Re-reading Steel Beach by John Varley. A sort of post-singularity romp from 1992. Politics And The Occult, by Gary Lachman. Much what it sounds like, a history of occult movements in politics. The Lunar Men, by Jenny Uglow.…
这让我想起了约翰·瓦利(John Varley)的书《钢铁海滩》(Steel Beach)。故事设定在未来,人类生活在月球上,月球上的每个人都连接着中央电脑(CC),它既是政府、朋友、向导,又是心理医生、百科全书和日记本。太迷人了……

“‘五年之内,阴茎就会被淘汰,’推销员说道。”——《钢铁海滩》,约翰·瓦利。
"“In five years, the penis will be obsolete,” said the salesman." Steel Beach - John Varley.
《钢铁海滩》(Steel Beach)和《金球》(Golden Globe)都是极棒的书。
Steel Beach and Golden Globe are both great books.

顺便说一句,我那条评论其实是在隐晦地致敬约翰·瓦利的《钢铁海滩》,里面讲的是一个未来的太空文明,恐龙被克隆出来当野味养殖。看来这里的人都没什么幽默感。事实是,如果我们真能复活恐龙……
