为什么值得读

……真不敢相信竟然没人提到史蒂芬·利维的经典之作《黑客》（Hackers）。另一本我觉得很有趣、但更侧重于整个硅谷早期历史而不仅仅是计算机的书，是亚当·费舍尔的《天才谷》（Valley of Genius）。
…can't believe nobody has mentioned the classic, _Hackers_, by Steven Levy. Another book I found interesting, but is focused more on the early history of Silicon Valley as a whole, not just computing, is _Valley of Genius_, by Adam Fisher.

最近出了一本关于硅谷历史的新书，叫《天才谷：硅谷未经审查的秘密历史》（Valley of Genius: The Uncensored History of Silicon Valley）。我一直在听它的有声书，里面讲到了 General Magic 的故事。百分之百推荐——它让我充满了同样的兴奋感……
