George O. Smith 创作于 1942–1945 年间的《Venus Equilateral》系列故事棒极了——如果你喜欢把电子管技术推向极致的脑洞。这些故事对工程师和 hacker 来说乐趣无穷：能以……加速度推进的宇宙飞船
George O. Smith's Venus Equilateral stories from 1942–1945 are wonderful—if you like the idea of vacuum tube technology taken to extreme lengths. Lots of fun in those stories for engineers and hackers: spaceships that can accelerate at…
……这两个，因为它们绝对都算得上被低估的作品：A) Donald Kingsbury 的《Psychohistorical Crisis》，一部设定在阿西莫夫《基地》系列世界观下的非官方续作。B) George O. Smith 的《Venus Equilateral》，一部 1940 年代的老派、甚至有点狗血的科幻小说，基本上就是讲通信空间站里的一帮工程师如何智斗律师、官僚体制和太空海盗……
…of these two, since they both completely qualify as underrated: A) "Psychohistorical Crisis" by Donald Kingsbury, which is an unauthorized sequel set in the world of Asimov's Foundation Series. B) "Venus Equilateral" by George O. Smith, which is an old, rather cheesy sci-fi novel from the 1940s, which is basically a bunch of engineers on a communications space station fighting lawyers, bureaucracy, and space pirates…
……小说”——KC Alexander 的《Necrotech》，一部充斥着残暴与低俗人体改造的赛博朋克反乌托邦（续作《Nanoshock》的开头第一句话极具冒犯性）。还有几部我私藏的心头好（guilty pleasures）：- George O Smith 的《Venus Equilateral》，1940 年代的故事，围绕拉格朗日 L4 点一座长达三英里的空间站展开，有点像电子管时代的《巴比伦 5 号》遇到了 DS9；- Piers Anthony 的《Bio of a Space Tyrant》，……
…novel" - Necrotech by KC Alexander, a brutal and obscene body-mod cyberpunk dystopia (the sequel of which, Nanoshock, has a superbly offensive opening sentence) And a couple of guilty pleasures: - Venus Equilateral by George O Smith, 1940s stories based around a three mile long space station at the L4 point in space, a bit like Babylon 5 meets DS9 in the era of vacuum tubes - Bio of a Space Tyrant by Piers Anthony,…
……小时候很幸运，继承了我祖父收藏的一批老科幻书。我最早接触 Q 简语（Q codes）是通过 1942 年的短篇小说《QRM Interplanetary》（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_Equilateral）。我觉得挺有意思的是，过去一个世纪里 Q 简语几乎没什么变化。我有些 ham radio 朋友甚至线下面对面聊天时也会用 Q codes，他们用的那些代码……
…lucky enough as a kid to inherit my grandfather's collection of old sci-fi books. I first became aware of Q codes through the short story "QRM Interplanetary" from 1942 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_Equilateral). I find it interesting that Q codes have changed so little over the last century. I have some ham radio friends who will use Q codes when talking face-to-face with each other, and the codes they use…
