为什么值得读
- 深刻思考工业革命对社会的深远影响
- 荒诞探讨动植物权利与机器反思
- 文风超现实且带有奇特魔力
Samuel Butler 的 Erewhon, or Over the Range 于 1872 年匿名出版。在这部维多利亚时代的社会讽刺作品中，主角 Higgs 发现了一个未知的国度——表面上的乌托邦 Erewhon（即 Nowhere 倒拼，且“h”与“w”调换位置）。详细描述发现 Erewhon 的前几章取材于 Butler 年轻时在新西兰的亲身经历。Butler 可能是第一个提出机器未来或可通过 Darwinian Selection 过程演化出意识这一构想的人。

那个，我先道个歉，因为我甚至不确定这能不能解答你的任何疑问……但你应该读读塞缪尔·巴特勒（Samuel Butler）写的《埃瑞璜》（Erewhon）。https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erewhon 这是很久以前写的书了，但里面甚至有一小节很有讽刺意味地探讨了动物权益，随后又进一步延伸到了植物权益……
You know, I apologize a bit, because I'm not even sure this answers any of your questions... But you should read Erewhon by Samuel Butler. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erewhon It was written way back when, but there is even a short section that deals with, ironically, animal rights, that then progresses to plant rights,…
关于这个话题，有一本挺有意思的书，是塞缪尔·巴特勒在1872年出版的小体量“乌托邦”小说《埃瑞璜》。它探讨了工业革命对社会的影响，以及它是如何塑造工业社会及其未来的。它与宗教之间的关系……
An interesting read about the subject is the small 'utopian' book Erewhon by Samuel Butler, published in 1872. It considers the implications of the industrial revolution on society, and thus how it shapes the industrial society and its future. The relationship with the religious…
……对我们自己的苦难念念不忘。既然它们没有通过任何痛苦的表达来打扰我们，我们便称它们毫无情感；就人类的定义而言，它们确实如此；但人类并不能代表一切。出自塞缪尔·巴特勒的《埃瑞璜》。（顺便提一句，《沙丘》里同名的“巴特兰圣战”灵感正是出自这一章。）我并不同意这里的结论，而且我怀疑巴特勒自己也不赞同，但整本书确实非常精彩。[1] http://www.online-literature.com/samuel-butler/erewhon/26/
…so much about our own sufferings. Since, then, they do not annoy us by any expression of pain we call them emotionless; and so qua mankind they are; but mankind is not everybody. From Samuel Butler's Erewhon. (The same chapter that inspired the eponymous Butlerian Jihad in Dune, incidentally.) I don't agree with the conclusion here, and I doubt Butler did either, but the whole book is a great read. [1] http://www.online-literature.com/samuel-butler/erewhon/26/
说句实在话，以下这三部故事/小说对我都有这种效果。它们身上有一种超现实、异质甚至带点魔幻色彩的东西。- E·M·福斯特的《机器休止》（The Machine Stops）- 塞缪尔·巴特勒的《埃瑞璜》- 保罗·柯艾略的《牧羊少年奇幻之旅》（The Alchemist）它们的风格和形式截然不同。我能想到的唯一共同点是，它们之中都有一股看不见的指引力量，无论是……
For what it's worth, the following three stories/novels have that effect on me. There's something about them that seems surreal and foreign, a little magical. - The Machine Stops, E.M. Forster - Erewhon, Samuel Butler - The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho The styles and formats are completely different. The only common thing I can think of is that there's this invisible guiding force in all of them, whether…
这后来成了他的书《埃瑞璜》中的一章，我最近读了，非常喜欢：https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/samuel-butler/erewhon 它和几篇相关的随笔合在一起，构成了《机器之书》（The Book of the Machines）这一部分 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erewhon#The_Book_of_the_Machin...
This became a chapter in his book Erewhon, which I read recently and enjoyed: https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/samuel-butler/erewhon It and a couple of related essays are combined to become The Book of the Machines segment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erewhon#The_Book_of_the_Machin...
我强烈推荐塞缪尔·巴特勒的《埃瑞璜》。作者正是“巴特兰圣战”（Butlerian Jihad）名字的由来。在当今时代读来非常有意思的一本书。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erewhon
I highly recommend Erewhon by Samuel Butler. The author is the namesake for Butlerian Jihad. Interesting book in our times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erewhon
