为什么值得读
- 深入解读巴特勒关于机器与进化的经典论述
- 探讨自适应过程在无宏观设计下的优化机制
- 打通生物演化与硬件技术发展的思考脉络
在预言万维网对人类文明构成的终极挑战——一个全球联网的、电子化的、有知觉的生命体时，Dyson追溯了信息革命的历程，阐明了那些预见到人工智能、人工生命以及全球心智发展的远见卓识之士的生平、工作与思想。

……复杂性理论家、费曼的死对头，也很有趣。我一个搞复杂性理论的朋友还向我推荐过鲁迪·拉克（Rudy Rucker）的《生命盒，海贝，与灵魂》，不过我还没看。弗里曼·戴森儿子（！）写的《机器之中的达尔文》简直太棒了，不过这就扯远了。
…complexity theorist and Feynman nemesis, is enjoyable too. A complexity theorist friend of mine also recommended Rudy Rucker's "The Lifebox, The Seashell, and the Soul" to me, but I haven't read it. "Darwin Among the Machines" by Freeman Dyson's son (!) is frigging great, but that's now getting off topic.
《图灵大教堂》（Turing's Cathedral）、《机器当中的达尔文》（Darwin Among the Machines）、《技术宣言》（Technomanifestos）、《Possiplex》、《技术想要什么》（What Technology Wants）。还有两本虽然跟计算机无关，但相当有意思的书——《科学革命的结构》（The Structure of Scientific Revolutions）、《非线性历史一千年》（A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History）
Turing's Cathedral Darwin Among the Machines Technomanifestos Possiplex What Technology Wants A couple of not computer related, but quite interesting books- The Structure of Scientific Revolutions A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History
去看看乔治·戴森写的同名好书，详细解读了巴特勒的那篇散文，非常推荐阅读 http://www.amazon.com/Darwin-Among-The-Machines-Intelligence...
check out George Dyson's great book of the same title that covers Butlers' essay in detail Very recommended reading http://www.amazon.com/Darwin-Among-The-Machines-Intelligence...
……适应性过程（进化只是其中的一个例子）即使在缺乏总体设计（“证明”）的情况下，也倾向于针对被选择的指标进行优化。我建议阅读《机器之中的达尔文》，可以拿来与硬件进行对照。
…that adaptive processes (of which evolution is but a single example) tend to optimise for the criterion that is being selected for even in absence of an overarching design (‘proof’). I recommend reading Darwin Among the Machines for comparison to hardware.
……一本拉蒙特·伍德的《Datapoint：德州人发明个人电脑革命的失落故事》。* 特雷西·基德尔的《新机器的灵魂》。* 乔治·戴森（……的儿子）的书：《机器之中的达尔文》、《图灵大教堂》。（扯开去，但也可以翻翻《猎户座计划：原子能宇宙飞船》）* 莱斯莉·柏林的《芯片背后的男人：罗伯特·诺伊斯与硅谷的创立》。* 理查德……
…copy of * Datapoint: The Lost Story of the Texans Who Invented the Personal Computer Revolution, by Lamont Wood. * The Soul of A New Machine, by Tracy Kidder. * Books by George Dyson (son of ...): Darwin Among the Machines, Turing's Cathedral. (unrelated, but also give Project Orion: The Atomic Spaceship a go) * The Man Behind the Microchip: Robert Noyce and the Invention of Silicon Valley, by Leslie Berlin. * Richard…
倒算不上真正的成功学/自助书籍，不过我可以推荐乔治·戴森三部曲，能带来不少灵感和新视角。《机器之中的达尔文》《图灵大教堂》《类比》（Analogia）。我还会考虑体验一下波伦（Pollan）式的致幻剂向导疗程
Not self-help books really but I can recommend the George Dyson trilogy for inspiration/perspective. Darwin Among the Machines Turing’s Cathedral Analogia I would also look into the possibility of attending a guided hallucinogen session a la Pollan
