David Drake 写的《Redliners》。心力交瘁的士兵被派去保驾护航一个行星殖民项目。幸好对故事来说,那其实是个满是怪物的星球。Baen Free Library。Charles Stross 的《Accelerando》、《Iron Sunrise》和《Singularity Sky》。奇点题材小说。Mark Danielewski 的《House of Leaves》。超自然 meta-fiction,半个故事都写在脚注里。让人想起电影《Donnie Darko》……
Redliners by David Drake. Burned out soldiers are sent to baby-sit a planetary colonization. Fortunately for the story it turns out to be a planet full of monsters. Baen Free Library. Accelerando, Iron Sunrise, and Singularity Sky by Charles Stross. Singularity stories. House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. Supernatural meta-fiction with half the story in the footnotes. Reminiscent of the movie Donnie Darko.…
Yup, as notahacker intuited, Charles Stross is another favourite author, whose back catalogue I am eagerly consuming now. His Singularity Sky / Iron Sunrise are (opinion) great introductions to what the kids may call his 'hard science' fiction -- though I'm disappointed that there won't be a third (and disappointed in myself for misunderstanding a rather…
Charles Stross 的 Eschaton 系列:《Singularity Sky》和《Iron Sunrise》。它从硬科幻的角度,很有意思地探讨了当一个 AI 实际上化身为神之后,人类会发生什么。
Charles Stross's Eschaton series: Singularity Sky and Iron Sunrise. It's an interesting hard-scifi take on what happens to humanity after one AI becomes, for all intents and purposes, God.
I should read it again in light of that. I did find that Stross's early work (Accelerando, Singularity Sky, Iron Sunrise, Colder War) heavily influenced my worldview and path in life. I haven't touched Accelerando in over a decade although I go back to the other novels on occasion.
…‘sci-fi fans’ who had never branched out past Doug Adams (and who wouldn’t have even bought a Doug Adams book that was the slightest bit different.) ——- I’ll not though I enjoyed Stross’s early books (Iron Sunrise and Singularit Sky) and I like his antipope blog but I could not stand following him on Mastodon because he uses the word “fascist” the way some people use another f-word, as in “Keir Starmer is a fascist”…
……关于正向 AI 超级智能(superintelligence)的例子,我觉得 Charlie Stross 的 Eschaton 系列(可惜这个系列只出版了两本,而且我们大概率永远看不到第三本了)——《Singularity Sky》和《Iron Sunrise》——可以归入这一类。我觉得《Accelerando》可能也算。
…examples of positive AI superintelligence I'd rate the Eschaton series by Charlie Stross (sadly only two books ever published in that series, and it's unlikely we'll ever see a third) - Singularity Sky & Iron Sunrise - in this category. I think Accelerando might fit, too.

没错,正如 notahacker 直觉判断的那样,Charles Stross 是我另一个很喜欢的作家,我现在正在如饥似渴地啃他的旧作。他的《Singularity Sky》/《Iron Sunrise》(依我看)是他那些被年轻人称为“硬科幻”(hard science fiction)作品的绝佳入门作——虽然很遗憾不会有第三部了(也很对自己失望,因为误解了一个相当……

考虑到这一点,我真该重读一遍。我确实发现 Stross 的早期作品(《Accelerando》、《Singularity Sky》、《Iron Sunrise》、《Colder War》)严重影响了我的世界观和人生轨迹。《Accelerando》我已经十多年没翻过了,虽然其他几部小说我偶尔还会回去重温。

……那些从未跳出 Doug Adams(道格拉斯·亚当斯)圈子的“科幻迷”(他们甚至连稍微有点不一样的 Doug Adams 的书都不会买)。——- 不过我得说,虽然我很喜欢 Stross 的早期作品(《Iron Sunrise》和《Singularity Sky》),也很喜欢他的 antipope 博客,但我实在受不了在 Mastodon 上关注他,因为他张口闭口“法西斯”(fascist),就像有些人动不动就用另一个 f 开头的词一样,比如“Keir Starmer 是个法西斯”……
