卡尔·施罗德的《迷宫之女》（Lady of Mazes）。简直是我读过脑洞点子最密集、同时又真正引人入胜的书。书里对有意义的后奇点（post-singularity）生活也有一些挺有意思的探讨（至少……
Lady of Mazes, by Karl Schroeder. Simply the most idea-packed book I've ever read that was actually entertaining. It also has some interesting discussions about meaningful post-singularity life (which are at least…
……我终于想起来那本我一直想推荐的书名了，它对无孔不入的增强现实（augmented reality）进行了很有趣且深刻的剖析（这在某种程度上跟把游戏当作精神鸦片的话题有点关联）：卡尔·施罗德的《迷宫之女》（Lady of Mazes）
…I finally remember the name of the book I really wanted to give as an interesting in-depth commentary on all-consuming augmented reality (which is somewhat related to the topic of gaming as opiate): Lady of Mazes, by Karl Schroeder
……他的小说读起来可能有点费脑子，但他的点子独树一帜，绝对值回票价：* 《Ventus》（风神星），他的第一部小说，讲的是一个通过纳米技术意外“活了”过来（类似盖亚假说）的世界。* 《Lady of Mazes》（迷宫之女）围绕我们如何利用（极其高度发达的）技术来保护文化而非破坏文化展开。* 《Permanence》（恒久）讲的是一个高度发达以至于不再需要技术、甚至……的星际文明。
…His novels can be challenging but his ideas are unique and worth the price of admission: * Ventus, his first novel, is about a world that turns accidentally alive (think Gaia) via nanotechnology. * Lady of Mazes turns around how we could use (very advanced) technology to preserve cultures instead of undermining them. * Permanence is about a star-faring civilization so advanced it doesn't need technology, it…
……创造它的那个体系。既然人和流程都不是中立的（毕竟谁又能真正中立呢），那他们创造的技术自然也不会中立。卡尔·施罗德在《迷宫之女》（Lady of Mazes）以及“维尔加（Virga）”系列的尾声部分，通过科幻小说对这一观点进行了深入阐述。我强烈推荐大家去读读。
…that created it. And since people and processes aren't neutral (who is, after all), the technology they create won't be, either. Karl Schroeder expounds upon this idea (albeit via science fiction) in "Lady of Mazes", and a little near the end of the Virga series. I highly recommend them.
我是楼主。答对了！可惜 Karl Schroeder 相当小众……我很喜欢《Ventus》和《Lady of Mazes》。我选这个用户名主要是因为在所有我想注册的地方它都没被占用过。
OP here. Bingo! Karl Schroeder is fairly obscure unfortunately... I love Ventus and Lady of Mazes. I picked this handle mainly because it's unique everywhere I've tried to sign up.
