为什么值得读
- 杂糅了007间谍、办公室喜剧与克苏鲁神话
- 精准捕捉计算机文化，技术描写兼顾硬核与趣味
- 包含吞噬信息导致宇宙熵增等天马行空的脑洞
Bob Howard是一名整天坐办公室的电脑黑客文职人员，单是应付日常堆积如山的文书工作就已经让他焦头烂额了。照理说，任何英勇悲壮的事情都绝不该落到他头上。但由于某种原因，偏偏就是他被委以重任。

……对计算技术的刻画要准确得多。在文化层面，我不知道有哪部主流大片能拍出真实的计算机文化。查尔斯·斯特罗斯（Charles Stross）的《Laundry》系列比绝大多数作品都要好（哪怕没有计算机背景也能读《The Atrocity Archives》，但你总会隐隐觉得漏掉了什么），毕竟斯特罗斯自己就沉浸在计算机技术里。这也是我所知道的第一部……
…captures computing more accurately. On the culture side, I don't know of any major films that capture computing culture. Charles Stross's Laundry series does a better job than most (You can still read The Atrocity Archives without a backround in computing, but you'll get this nagging feeling you're missing something), seeing as Stross is up to his eyeballs in computing. It's also the first piece of fiction I know of to…
……描述方式能让非技术用户脑补出一个输入输出起码大致靠谱的系统。我觉得查尔斯·斯特罗斯在这方面做得极好，尤其是在《Accelerando》、《Atrocity Archives》和《Jennifer Morgue》里。比如《Atrocity Archives》里的一句：“他得动用英国政府通信总部（GCHQ）和一台扫描隧道显微镜，才能在一整张硬盘盘片塞满的 0xDEADBEEF 垃圾数据底下把它找出来。”即便没有……
…are described in a way that lets non-technical users image a system that at least has roughly the right inputs and outputs. I find that Charles Stross does this very well, particularly in Accelerando, Atrocity Archives, and Jennifer Morgue. From Atrocity Archives: "he'll have to enlist GCHQ and a scanning tunneling microscope to find it under all the 0xDEADBEEF spammed across the hard disk platters." Even without…
信不信由你，还真有一本小说把这些要素几乎全给凑齐了：查尔斯·斯特罗斯的《The Atrocity Archives》。如果你喜欢科幻，绝对得看看这本。它是 007 詹姆斯·邦德、Slashdot、《Office Space》和洛夫克拉夫特克苏鲁神话的一场离奇又爆笑的疯狂大串联。
Believe it or not, there's a novel that combines pretty much all these things: Charles Stross's "The Atrocity Archives." If you're into sci-fi, you need to check this out. It's a bizarre but hilarious mashup of James Bond, Slashdot, Office Space, and H. P. Lovecraft.
Charles Stross 的绝大多数作品都行，特别是 Laundry 系列（《Atrocity Archives》、《Jennifer Morgue》等）。
Most anything by Charles Stross, especially the Laundry series (Atrocity Archives, Jennifer Morgue, etc)
……经济增长。但是，对于资本主义目前这种吞噬一切的消费主义形态——一个连自己都非要吃下去的系统——我并不是很买账。多亏了 HN 上的推荐，我刚读完了《Laundry Files》（查尔斯·斯特罗斯的《Atrocity Archives》）。书里提到的一种可怕怪兽能吞食其宇宙中的所有信息，加速让整个宇宙走向熵寂。这……
…economic growth. However, capitalism in its current form of all-consuming consumerism, a system that must eat everything including itself, I'm not so sold on. Just finished reading the Laundry Files (Atrocity Archives/Charles Stross) thanks to a recommendation on HN. One of the terrible beasts mentioned in the book is a creature that eats all the information in its universe, rushing the universe to entropy death. The…
查尔斯·斯特罗斯的《The Atrocity Archives》以及《Laundry》系列的其他几本。这不是纯粹犯傻搞笑，而是很有幽默感。要是想看无厘头搞笑的，可以试试罗伯特·阿斯普林（Robert Asprin）的《Myth Adventures》。
Charles Stross, The Atrocity Archives and others in the Laundry series. Not foolishness, but a good sense of humor. For foolishness, try Robert Asprin's Myth Adventures.
