我强烈推荐丹尼尔·笛福(Daniel Defoe)的《米松船长传》(Of Captain Mission)。还有威廉·S·巴勒斯(William S. Burroughs)的《红夜之城》(Cities of the Red Night):)
I highly recommend Of Captain Mission by Daniel Defoe. And Cities of the Red Night by William S. Burroughs :)
……最喜欢的是一篇叫《轻松之道》(The Discipline of Do Easy)的短文,格斯·范·桑特还围绕它拍了一部带旁白的短片[1]。书方面,相比《裸体午餐》,我更喜欢《爆炸的彩票》(The Ticket That Exploded)、《雅盖信札》(The Yagé Papers)以及围绕《红夜之城》展开的三部曲。[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoOUBETTyMI
…favorite is a short essay called "The Discipline of Do Easy", around which Gus van Sant has made a narrated short film[1]. Book wise I enjoyed the Ticket That Exploded, Yagé Papers and the trilogy around Cities Of The Red Night more than Naked Lunch. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoOUBETTyMI
在了解威廉·S·巴勒斯的《红夜之城》时,我发现了康斯坦丁斯·劳迪夫的书《突破》(Breakthrough)。这本书讲的是超自然电子噪音现象(EVP)以及尝试录下死后世界声音的记录。就算你不相信……
While reading about William S. Burroughs' "Cities of the Red Night" I found out about Konstantīns Raudive's book "Breaktrhough". This book was about electronic voice phenomena (EVP) and the attempt at recording voices from the afterlife. Even if you don't buy into the…
确实。但话说回来,能干出这事的人直接把代码写进逆转录病毒(retrovirus)里不就行了 ;) 反乌托邦科幻里有个套路(最早可能出自巴勒斯的《红夜之城》),就是专门针对特定种族。
Sure. But then, anyone who'd do that could just include the code in the retrovirus ;) There's a trope in dystopian SF (and maybe first, in Burroughs' Cities of the Red Night) about specifically targeting particular races.
出自威廉·S·巴勒斯的《红夜之城》:[0] > 当我注视着这幅画时,我看到一座空中岛屿,绿得如同祖母绿的中心,闪烁着露珠的光芒,瀑布在它周围激荡起宛如破损旗帜般的彩虹。海岸……
From Cities of the Red Night by William S. Burroughs:[0] > As I study the picture I see an island in the sky, green as the heart of an emerald, glittering with dew as waterfalls whip tattered banners of rainbow around it. The shores…
这让我想起威廉·S·巴勒斯的《红夜之城》,书中突然爆发了一场致命瘟疫。皮尔逊医生(Dr. Pierson)是个海洛因成瘾者,他协助发现海洛因能预防这种热病:“一位政府高官直言不讳地警告道:……
This reminds me of William S Burrough’s “Cities of the Red Night,” in which a deadly plague appears suddenly. The character Dr. Pierson is a heroin addict, and helps discover that heroin is prophylactic against the fever: “A top government official bluntly warned:…
