在 The History of the Future 中，Harris 再次深入探究了一出具有划时代意义的科技大戏，熟练地讲述了 Oculus 这一传奇的真实故事——这家成立于2012年的 virtual reality 公司，在不到两年的时间里就引起了 Mark Zuckerberg 的注意，并最终被 Facebook 以超过20亿美元的价格收购。这个不可思议的逆袭故事始于发明家 Palmer Luckey，当时他只是一个十九岁、独自住在加利福尼亚州长滩野营房车里的梦想家。在那个时期，virtual reality——长期被誉为终极技术——成本极高且极具实验

……现在就有某个解决方案正在车库里被捣鼓出来。如果帕尔默·拉奇（Palmer Luckey）能在2010年代做到，现在也完全会有其他人再做一遍。我绝对支持这类公司保持独立运作。你看过《未来的历史》（The History of the Future，https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062455966）了吗？
…solution being built in a garage right now. If Lucky Palmer could do it in the 2010's, someone else can be doing it again now. I'd certainly vote for that company to be stand alone. Have you read The History of the Future (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062455966) yet?
布莱克·J·哈里斯（Blake J. Harris）写的《未来的历史》（The History of the Future）。讲的是 Oculus 的创立以及随后被 Facebook 收购的全过程。他对当事各方进行了大量的首手访谈。读起来就像电影剧本一样，而且……
The History of the Future by Blake J. Harris. It's about the foundation and subsequent acquisition of Oculus by Facebook. He has done a lot of first-hand interviews with the involved parties. It reads like a movie script, and…

……英格丽德·伯灵顿（Ingrid Burrington）写的——以野外指南的形式切入，极其迷人地审视了纽约市的通信基础设施。受此启发，我也为费城做了一个同款风格的网站。* 道格拉斯·库普兰（Douglas Coupland）的《克隆猫：贝尔实验室的未来历史》（Kitten Clone: The History of the Future at Bell Labs）——这是我读的第一本库普兰的非虚构作品，很高兴看到他那富有冲击力的文笔在这个题材上同样表现出色。书中他去新泽西老厂区的那一章……
…by Ingrid Burrington - A fascinating look at the communications infrastructure in NYC, written as a field guide. Inspired me to make a website in the same style for Philadelphia. * Kitten Clone: The History of the Future at Bell Labs by Douglas Coupland - This is my first non-fiction Coupland book and it was nice to see his punchy writing translate to the topic. The chapter where he goes to the old facility in New Jersey…
……他还在我读过的其他几本书里扮演了重要角色。《地下城与梦幻客》（Dungeons and Dreamers）对比叙述了卡马克与 Id 的道路，以及理查德·加里奥特（Richard Garriott）与 Origin Systems 的轨迹。《未来的历史》（The History of the Future）则描绘了一个更加年长、处于行业巅峰的约翰·卡马克，他携手帕尔默·拉奇以及一群年轻创业者，一同打造 Oculus 和 VR。这趟兼具创业与技术的历程至少同样波澜壮阔……
…There are other books he played a prominent role in that I enjoined. Dungeons and Dreamers was a side by side story and contrast between Carmack and Id's path vs Richard Garriot and Origin Systems. The History of the Future features a much older John Carmack at the top of the industry, joining Palmer Lucky and a team of young entrepreneurs to build Oculus and VR. The entrepreneurial and technical ride is at least as wild…
……对其他人来说。4. 确实是个问题。如果可以的话，你应该考虑至少为一部分非美国用户提供手动 Paypal 支付方式。反正一开始也不会有那么多人。我有一本书（《100件物品中的未来历史》[A History of the Future in 100 Objects]）今年晚些时候出版；我打算同时把它做成报刊亭（Newsstand）刊物进行连载，而且之前一直在跟你们的竞争对手合作 ;) 但我很想看看你们……
…for others. 4. Definitely a problem. If you can, you should think about doing manual Paypal payments for at least some non-US users. There wouldn't be that many to start with anyway. I have a book ("A History of the Future in 100 Objects") that's being published later this year; I'm planning to serialise it as a Newsstand publication as well and have been working with a rival of yours ;) But I'm keen to see what you guys…
