…especially interesting for the HN crowd. It's not sf per se, rather more than contemporary fiction, but the main theme is about programming and politics in a big corporation. Quite original and a lot of fun. Agency - W. Gibson The space between worlds - M. Johnson To sleep in a sea of stars - C. Paolini The algebraist - I. Banks Hope you'll find something to your liking. Happy new year.
…immigrants. Very eye-opening, a lot of America's 'wealthy families' got their first pool of capital in this manner. Also: Junji Ito, Uzumaki and No Longer Human William Gibson, The Peripheral and Agency
Yeah, I guess. I suspect that authorities are planning ahead. As we get further into the jackpot (see Gibson's Peripheral and Agency) there'll be more and more disorder and chaos. And so there'll be a need for more surveillance and control.
…The Peripheral, it's quite a plot to wrap your head around at first, as is usual with time-related stuff, but once you get rolling with it you won't put it down. It's typical Gibson, which I love. And Agency reads like a hot knife through butter. I can't wait to see how he wraps it up in the third one, if that's what he's going for.
我太喜欢威廉·吉布森在《代号：尤妮斯》（Agency）里引出尤妮斯的方式了。我绝对很想和她做朋友。
I love how William Gibson reveals Eunice in Agency. I'd for sure love to be her friend.
…对于 HN 群体来说尤其有意思。严格来说它不是 hard-core 的科幻，更偏向当代小说，但核心主题是关于大公司的编程与政治斗争。非常新颖，而且趣味十足。《代号：尤妮斯》- 威廉·吉布森；《世界之间的裂隙》- M·约翰逊；《在星海中沉睡》- C·鲍里尼；《代数家》- I·班克斯。希望你能找到合口味的。新年快乐！

“klept”这个词来自威廉·吉布森的《周边》和《代号：尤妮斯》这两本书[1]。强烈推荐。[1] https://www.goodreads.com/series/270911-jackpot

…移民。非常发人深省，美国的很多“豪门望族”就是通过这种方式捞到第一桶金的。另外还有：伊藤润二的《漩涡》和《人间失格》；威廉·吉布森的《周边》和《代号：尤妮斯》

嗯，我也觉得。我怀疑当权者是在未雨绸缪。随着我们在 jackpot（大坍落，参见吉布森的《周边》和《代号：尤妮斯》）里陷得越来越深，混乱和失序会越来越多。因此，也就需要更多的监控和控制。

…《周边》，刚开始要理解它的剧情确实挺烧脑的，玩时间线的设定向来如此，但一旦读进去了你就根本停不下来。非常典型的吉布森风格，我超爱。而《代号：尤妮斯》读起来更是顺畅得像热刀切黄油。我迫不及待想看看他在第三部里怎么收尾了，如果他确实打算写成三部曲的话。
