……羡慕，末尾还没有作者抱怨自己有多讨厌写这些的注释？）我挺喜欢自己在救世军淘到的自出版小说《We are Legion (We are Bob)》。另外还有一本很新的书：https://www.amazon.com/Terraformers-Annalee-Newitz/dp/125022...
…envy without the notes at the end about how much the author hates writing them?) I liked the self-published We are Legion (We are Bob) which I found at the Salvation Army. Also https://www.amazon.com/Terraformers-Annalee-Newitz/dp/125022... for a very recent book.

……没错，非虚构类书籍也有，像圣经和《More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws》，但读那些其实也可以带点轻松的心态。[^1] Annalee Newitz 写的《The Terraformers》。去吧，买来看看。里面有货真价实的硬核科学，别的不用多说了。
…And yes, there are non-fiction books, like the Bible and "More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws", but those can also be approached with a dose of lightheartedness. [^1] The Terraformers, By Annalee Newitz. Go, buy it, read it. It has real science in it, nothing else needs to be said.
……一遍又一遍地重复同一个。当然这些人总是消极而非积极，他们不会告诉你接下来该做什么，甚至不会说你应该读读像《Terraformers》这样的书——（1）不管你怎么看，它都相当不错；（2）它代表了一种 NB 视角。对比一下日本健康的文化，过去四年里出现的四格漫画……
…the same one over and over. And of course these folks are always negative and not positive, they aren't going to talk about what you should move on to, or even that you should read something like The Terraformers which (1) is pretty good no matter how you slice it and (2) represents an NB point of view. Contrast that to a healthy culture in Japan where 4-panel comics that have come up in the last four years have…
……自力更生。更新的文学作品要更复杂成熟，因为主角在社会层面的参与度更高了。这在 Pohl 的《Heechee》系列和 Vinge 的《The Peace War》里绝对有所体现，但在 Newitz 的《The Terraformers》里却看不到，因为角色一出生就是后人类（post-human）。商业上，“未来史”能带来很多收益，但它们往往很容易走向崩坏：指数级的升级有时还能被压制住，……
…bootstraps. Newer literature is more sophisticated as the hero becomes more socially involved. It definitely happens in Pohl’s Heechee series and also Vinge’s The Peace War but you don’t see it in The Terraformers by Newitz as the characters are born into the post-human. Commercially there is a lot to gain from ‘future histories’ but they have a way of blowing up: exponential leveling can be sometimes contained,…
