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。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • ……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 -…
