Long time ago I read a novel called Brain Wave by Paul Anderson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Wave (it predates Flowers for Algernon by about 10 years). It has a similar theme of suddenly acquired intelligence but for the whole planet. I you…
I always kinda avoid scifi stories about super-intelligent beings. There's no way one could write about what they'd be like. But I make one exception - Brain Wave by Poul Anderson. In it, ordinary people become much more intelligent. Their speech patterns change into very few words, because a more intelligent listener would be better at inferring meaning from the…
Another interesting story featuring enhanced intelligence is Poul Anderson's novel "Brain Wave". Briefly, there is an energy damping field that projects in a beam from something near the center of our galaxy. One of the effects of this field is to slow down the speed of neural activity. The Sun's…
> Authors generally fail at creating characters smarter than themselves, for perhaps obvious reasons. Hah, I've noticed that for years. Anderson's "Brain Wave", however, is a decent attempt at what more intelligent people would be like.
This speculation is addressed in the novel Brainwave, by Poul Anderson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Wave) It's pretty dated regarding the roles of women and men, but the ideas are very interesting nevertheless. One of the big insights is that many people might not be ready to operate at full potential -…
Poul Anderson in "Brain Wave" had a most interesting take on what increased intelligence would look like. People said less and less to each other, but conveyed more meaning.
很久以前我读过保罗·安德森（Paul Anderson）写的一本小说叫《脑波》（Brain Wave）https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Wave（它比《献给阿尔吉侬的花束》早了大概10年）。它也有类似突然获得超高智力的主题，不过是席卷整个地球的。如果你……

我总有点刻意避开写超智生物的科幻小说。作者根本不可能写出他们到底是什么样子的。但我破例过一次——波尔·安德森（Poul Anderson）的《脑波》（Brain Wave）。书里普通人变得极其聪明。他们的讲话模式变成了寥寥数语，因为更聪明的倾听者更能从中推断出……

另一个以智力提升为特色的有趣故事是波尔·安德森的小说《脑波》（Brain Wave）。简而言之，有一种能量阻尼场，从我们银河系中心附近的某个东西以光束形式投射出来。这个场的效果之一就是减缓神经活动的速率。太阳的……

> 作者通常无法塑造出比自己更聪明的人物，原因可能显而易见。哈哈，这事儿我注意好多年了。不过安德森的《脑波》（Brain Wave）在刻画更聪明的人会是什么样子方面算是一次挺不错的尝试。

波尔·安德森的小说《脑波》（Brainwave）探讨了这种推想（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_Wave）。在男女角色定位方面它确实相当过时了，但里面的点子无论如何都非常引人入胜。其中一个深刻洞见是，很多人可能还没准备好发挥自己的全部潜能——……

波尔·安德森在《脑波》（Brain Wave）里对智力提升后会是啥样有个极其有意思的设定。人与人之间说的话越来越少，但传达的意思却越来越丰富。
