Steinbeck 描写大萧条时期的经典小说如今读来依旧历历在目。故事聚焦于一个来自俄克拉荷马州的佃农家庭——他们为地主耕作以换取微薄收成。干旱和贫困将他们逐出家园，一家人开着一辆破旧的老卡车踏上旅途，前往加利福尼亚寻找工作。到达后，他们发现成百上千和他们境遇相似的人被迫为糊口微薪而劳作。他们开始做摘水果的零工，充当工贼去顶替那些试图建立工会的人，但内心的良知最终促使他们选择离开。

……这个问题我自己琢磨挺久了，发现以下读物非常发人深省：- 塞内卡的《道德书简》- 塞内卡的《论人生之短暂》- 亨利·戴维·梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》- 约翰·斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》
…asking myself this question for a while, and have found the following reading to be very enlightening: - Letters from a Stoic, Seneca - On the Shortness of Life, Seneca - Walden, Henry David Thoreau - Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
……一年里大多数时间都是每周工作……生病了当然没有任何福利这种东西。这里有一篇关于英国啤酒花采摘工的文章 [1] 以及相关的维基百科词条 [2]。我也推荐斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》。[1] https://mashable.com/2017/06/03/hop-pickers [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopper_hut
…week most of the year. No such thing as benefits if you fell ill, of course. Here's an article about hops pickers in England [1] and the related Wikipedia article [2]. I also recommend Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath". [1] https://mashable.com/2017/06/03/hop-pickers [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopper_hut
我读了《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》，紧接着又（重）读了《愤怒的葡萄》。两本书都教条得可怕（观点还截然相反），放在一起对比挺有意思的。斯坦贝克起码文笔还算通顺。
I read Atlas Shrugged and immediately followed it by (re)reading The Grapes of Wrath. Both are horribly doctrinaire (with opposing viewpoints), so it made for an interesting contrast. Steinbeck can at least put a sentence together.
……资本主义解决方案，但它们需要人为限制供给。关于为了提高利润而人为限制供给所带来的罪恶，最戏剧化也最富有诗意的探讨莫过于《愤怒的葡萄》第 25 章了：http://genius.com/John-steinbeck-grapes-of-wrath-chapter-25-... 广告带来的收入实在少得可怜，以至于网络广告行业现在要么干脆直接放弃，要么就变着法子压榨每一个……
…capitalist solution, but they require artificially limiting supply. The most dramatic and poetic discussion of the evils of artificially limiting supply to increase profits would have to be chapter 25 of The Grapes of Wrath: http://genius.com/John-steinbeck-grapes-of-wrath-chapter-25-... Ads produce such a tiny amount of revenue that the web ad industry is in a position of just giving up altogether, or trying to milk every…
+1 赞同斯坦贝克是“真正的大师”。《伊甸之东》和《愤怒的葡萄》都是必读经典。
+1 for Steinbeck being a “true master”. East of Eden and Grapes of Wrath essential.
非虚构类：Eliezer Yudkowsky 的《理性：从人工智能到僵尸》。这是对该主题极棒的深度剖析，尽管篇幅极长但可读性非常高。虚构类：约翰·斯坦贝克的《愤怒的葡萄》。在这之前我也读过斯坦贝克的其他作品，但这部绝对是一座显而易见的里程碑式杰作。我特别喜欢他把具体个人的经历与群体的经历……融为一体的写法。
Nonfiction: "Rationality: From AI to Zombies" by Eliezer Yudkowsky. It was a fantastic deep-dive into the topic, and despite being extremely long was very readable. Fiction: "Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. I've read other Steinbeck before this one, but this stands out as a clear masterpiece. I especially enjoyed the way he blended the experiences of specific individuals with the experiences…
