…as "superhuman intelligence". I read Vinge's essay in college and it was a critical factor in affecting my career choices and transhumanist views. His sci-fi Fire Upon the Deep/Deepness in the Sky and Fast Times at Fairmont High/Rainbows End were also critical in affecting my career path into AR/VR. I highly recommend reading this essay and any of his other sci-fi. He work could be classified as "hard computer science fiction"…
This reminds me so much of Vernor Vinge's story "Fast Times at Fairmont High". It's set in the near future, and one plot point is that high school tests cover this skill--to read through the manuals quickly and get things done with new tools. I recommend it, and the related book…
…understand the transformative potential of something like a VR headset if technology allowed it to be unobtrusive and omnipresent, one must read Vinge. The idea of consensual reality as portrayed in, e.g., Fast Times at Fairmont High, is kind of mind-blowing.

Love that book, it also reminded me of his book/short story Fast Times at Fairmont High where they use small devices like this as breadcrumbs to keep them connected to the grid (a mesh network).
……也就是“超人智能”。我大学时读了 Vinge 的这篇论文，它对我后来的职业选择和超人类主义观点起到了至关重要的作用。他的科幻小说《深渊上的火》《天渊》以及《费尔蒙特高中的烦恼》《末日临头》，对我走上 AR/VR 这条职业道路也起到了关键作用。强烈推荐读读这篇论文以及他的其他科幻作品。他的作品完全可以归类为“硬核计算机科幻”……

我更喜欢中篇小说《费尔蒙特高中的烦恼》，它有着许多相同的人物和世界观设定。
I much preferred the novella Fast Times at Fairmont High, which had many of the same characters and setting.
这让我想起了弗诺·文奇的小说《费尔蒙特高中的烦恼》。故事设定在近未来，其中一个情节是高中的考试专门考这项技能——快速翻阅手册并使用新工具把事情搞定。我很推荐这篇，以及相关的书……

……要想理解如果技术能让 VR 头显做到既轻便隐形又无处不在会有多么颠覆，就必须读读文奇。比如《费尔蒙特高中的烦恼》中所描绘的共识现实（consensual reality）概念，简直令人脑洞大开。

太喜欢那本书了，这也让我想起了他的书/短篇故事《费尔蒙特高中的烦恼》，里面他们把这种小设备当作数字面包屑，来让自己保持连接到网格（mesh 网络）上。
