为什么值得读
- 以极具深度的笔触构建全球性合作社组织
- 承载了早期赛博朋克流派的独特魅力
- 与吉布森作品齐名且思想极为丰富
来自封底:Laura Webster 正在迈向成功的快车道上。作为跨国企业集团里冉冉升起的新星,她生活在一个千禧年后和平、繁荣且唯利是图的时代。在技术先进的纪元,信息成了世界上最宝贵的商品。信息就是力量。数据被锁定在计算机中,并通过全球通信网络严格配给。拥有完全访问权限是极少数人的特权。如今,Laura Webster 即将被卷入一个充斥着黑市数据海盗、新时代雇佣兵、高科技巫术……以及谋杀的阴暗地下世界。

……再说一遍,吉布森的书我还从没读过一本不喜欢的,包括他最近的作品。所以我的建议可能不算太客观……如果你喜欢吉布森,我建议去看看布鲁斯·斯特林(Bruce Sterling)的作品——尤其是《Islands in the Net》(网中之岛,如果你能找得到的话!我最后是在网上花大价钱买的二手书)和《Holy Fire》(圣火)。
…again I've yet to read anything by Gibson I didn't like, including the most recent books. So I might not be the best guide... I recommend looking into Bruce Sterling, if you enjoy Gibson - particularly Islands in the Net (if you can find it! I ended up buying an expensive used copy online) and Holy Fire.
如果你喜欢《Snow Crash》(雪崩)和《Diamond Age》(钻石时代),我推荐布鲁斯·斯特林的《Islands in the Net》(网中之岛,如果能搞到的话)和《Holy Fire》(圣火)。或者想看点较新的,可以看他写的《The Zenith Angle》(天顶角)。威廉·吉布森所有的书我也都很喜欢,包括最新的三部曲《Pattern……
If you enjoyed "Snow Crash" and "Diamond Age", I'd recommend "Islands in the Net" (if you can get hold of a copy) and "Holy Fire" by Bruce Sterling. Or for something newer, "the Zenith Angle" by same. I've also enjoyed all of Willam Gibsons books, including the latest trilogy "Pattern…
……完全没有非要“拥有”这些书的紧迫需求——除非它们真在某种程度上深得我心。但确实有一些绝妙好书,简直稀缺得不可理喻,极难买到——比如这四个例子:* 《Islands in the Net》(布鲁斯·斯特林)* 《The man who walked to the Moon》(霍华德·麦考德)* 《Last Chance to See》(道格拉斯·亚当斯)* 《Literary Machines》(特德·尼尔森)。前三本我是买的二手,目前还在找……
…no pressing need to "own" such books -- unless they are truly close to my heart in some way. But there are some great books, that are unjustifiably rare, and hard to get hold of -- four examples: * Islands in the Net (Bruce Sterling) * The man who walked to the Moon (Howard McCord) * Last Chance to See (Douglas Adams) * Literary Machines (Ted Nelson) The three first I've bought second hand, still looking for…
……塞缪尔·德拉尼的《Dahlgren》(以及我读过的他的绝大部分作品)。厄休拉·勒古恩的《Earthsea》(地海传奇)——还有《Powers》。尼尔·斯蒂芬森的《Diamond Age》(钻石时代)。布鲁斯·斯特林的《Holy Fire》(圣火,他的《Islands in the Net》、《Zenith Angle》和《Schismatrix》我也很喜欢)。艾萨克·阿西莫夫的《Foundation》(基地)三部曲加前传。奥尔德斯·赫胥黎的《Brave New World》(美丽新世界)。弗诺·文奇的《Deepness in the Sky》(天渊)/《Fire Upon the Deep》(深渊上的火)。《Something wicked this……
…"Dahlgren" by Samuel Delaney (and most everything else I've read by him as well). "Earthsea" by Ursula LeGuin - and "Powers". "Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson. "Holy Fire" by Bruce Sterling (I also enjoyed Islands in the Net, Zenith Angle and Schismatrix). "Foundation" trilogy + prequel by Isaac Asimov. "Brave New World", Aldous Huxley. "Deepness in the Sky" / "Fire Upon the Deep" by Vernor Vinge. "Something wicked this…
布鲁斯·斯特林的《Islands in the Net》(网中之岛)核心就是一个类似于蒙德拉贡(Mondragon)但覆盖全球的合作社。约翰·布鲁纳的《Shockwave Rider》(震荡波骑士)核心也有一个规模小得多的合作社,不过对其运作机制的探讨是故事的核心。这是一本不可思议的神作。
A co-op like Mondragon but global in scope is at the center of 'Islands in the Net' by Bruce Sterling. There's a much smaller co-op at the heart of 'Shockwave Rider' by John Brunner, but discussion of the mechanics is central to the story. This is an incredible book.
> 就那种“90年代复古未来主义南加州露天商业街末世”风格的赛博朋克而言,我觉得威廉·吉布森的《Virtual Light》(虚拟之光)重读起来要过瘾得多。另外也可以看看布鲁斯·斯特林的《Islands in the Net》(网中之岛,恕我拙见)。编辑注:顺便说下,要说比较新(2017年)且脑洞有趣的书,可以看看尼克·哈克威的《Gnomon》。开读之前千万别看简介或剧透——……
> In terms of that "90's Retrofuturistic So-Cal Strip Mall Apocalypse" brand of cyberpunk, I think William Gibson's Virtual Light was far more satisfying to revisit. See also "Islands in the Net" by Bruce Sterling (IMNHO). Ed: BTW, for a newer book (2017) that plays with some interesting concepts - see "Gnomon" by Nick Harkaway. Just don't read a summary or too much about before you start -…
