封底文案:享誉世界的诗人 Robert Gu 在几乎死于 Alzheimer's 的二十年间错过了时代的飞速进步。如今,当他在2025年的圣地亚哥醒来、心智与健康重获恢复时,现实令他大为震惊。纸质书几乎消失殆尽。Computers 已是老古董,取而代之的是“智能”隐形眼镜,它通过他的衣物和无处不在的无线节点将他连接至 Internet。建筑物显得廉价破旧——除非你穿戴了相应设备。穿戴后,它们便能呈现为你想要的任何模样。就连他也变了:虽然已七十五岁高龄,但治疗使他看起来几乎像个少年。而

在精彩的科幻小说《彩虹尽头》(Rainbows End)中,探讨了利用隐形眼镜和其他各类抬头显示器(HUD)实现增强现实(AR)的应用,而该书的作者正是大名鼎鼎的“弗诺·文奇”(Vernor Vinge)。
The application of augmented reality using contact lenses and other types of head up displays was explored in the wonderful science fiction novel "Rainbows End", which was written by none other than "Vernor Vinge".
描写大多数人大部分时间都在使用增强现实的近未来(2025年)世界的作品中,迄今为止我读过最好的小说就是弗诺·文奇的《彩虹尽头》(Rainbows End):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbows_End
By far the best novel I've seen that looks at a near future (2025) world where most people spend most of their time using augmented reality is Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbows_End
既然你已经对这个问题有概念了,你真该读读弗诺·文奇的《彩虹尽头》(Rainbows End)。这是一本探讨这类问题的近未来科幻小说。稍微“剧透”一点:他的解决方案是与公民达成契约。政府会黑进我们所有的电脑,……
Since you are primed on the question. You should read Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge. It's a near-future sci-fi book that tackles these sorts of questions. As a bit of a "spoiler" his solution is a covenant with the citizens. The government will hack all of our computers,…
我还没读过《停机状态》(Halting State),但斯特罗斯(Stross)的《加速》(Accelerando)挺不错的。你也可以试试文奇的《彩虹尽头》(Rainbows End)。
I haven't read "Halting State" yet, but Stross's "Accelerando" is pretty good. You might also try Vinge's "Rainbows End".
我提名弗诺·文奇的《彩虹尽头》(Rainbows End)。尤其是他笔下无处不在的互联互通与信息获取这一主题,真实得让我惊叹。当然了,文奇本身就是计算机科学教授,所以我也预料到他对相关概念的处理……
I nominate Vernor Vinge's Rainbows End. In particular, his theme of ubiquitous connectivity and access to information struck me as remarkable realistic. Of course, Vinge is a Comp Sci professor, so I would expect his treatment of related concepts…
如今我们真没什么类似的作品了。去看看查尔斯·斯特罗斯的《停机状态》(Halting State)和弗诺·文奇的《彩虹尽头》(Rainbows End)吧。
we really don't have anything like that these days Check out Halting State by Charles Stross and Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge.
