为什么值得读
- 奠定了早于黑客帝国的自主工具科幻构想
- 封面三脚机器形象经典且阅读体验极佳
- 虽常被遗忘但具备开创性的早期科幻范本
终极科幻经典：一百多年来，这个关于火星人入侵地球的引人入胜的故事，凭借丰富的想象力以及对权力失衡的犀利批判，持续吸引着一代代读者，在今天依然切中要害。其写作风格在当时堪称颠覆性，巧妙融合了第一人称与第三人称叙述，既带有强烈的个人视角，又着眼于整个人类社会的全面崩溃。火星人作为一种邪恶、机械化且不可知的威胁，在当今社会依然令人不寒而栗，尽管科技已取得突飞猛进的发展

……这部经常被忽略的科幻经典。它偶尔也能勉强挤进某些书单，但令人遗憾的是依然经常被埋没 :( 而且书单里居然一本 H.G. 威尔斯、凡尔纳、西尔弗伯格或鲍勃·肖的书都没有？要是我排的话，肯定会把《世界之战》和《转变的时代》放进去。
…the often overlooked SF classic. It does occasionally squeak onto a list but is still sadly often overlooked :( Also no HG Wells, Verne, Silverberg or Bob Shaw books on the list? Certainly would have War of the Worlds and A Time of Changes on mine.

……后来我才反应过来，我很久以前肯定读过它，只是忘得一干二净了。我读过成千上万本书，但从来没做过读书笔记，根本不可能全记住。不过在我脑海里最突出的，还是威尔斯的《世界之战》。那是我看的第一本科幻书，当时在图书馆挑中它，是因为封面上画的三脚机甲太帅了。我读得津津有味，而且就像传说中第一次吸毒带来的快感一样……
…eventually realized I must have read it long ago and totally forgotten it. I've read thousands of books, but I never kept a log and have no way of remembering them all. The standout in my mind, however, is "War of the Worlds" by Wells. It is the first scifi book I ever read, picking it out at the library because it had a cool illustration of the tripod on the cover. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and like the purported first hit…
……那些工具其实都是全自动的。这里也好别的平台也罢，根本没有 AI 评论员，全都是人类在幕后操控发出那些垃圾内容。话说回来，这种设定远在《黑客帝国》之前就有了，去看看 H.G. 威尔斯的《世界之战》吧，大卫·埃塞克斯和理查德·伯顿的配音版就很棒：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcAwrLzhnzQ
…those tools are actually autonomous. There no AI commenters here or anywhere, it is always humans causing that slop to be posted. Anyway, this idea goes back to long before The Matrix, try H G Wells The War of the Worlds, ably voiced by David Essex and Richard Burton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcAwrLzhnzQ
……据我所知，这可以追溯到现实中还没有航天工程的年代，所以我强烈怀疑这跟各自语言里的科幻小说有关。比如在 H.G. 威尔斯1898年的《世界之战》里，大反派来自火星；埃德加·赖斯·巴勒斯的“约翰·卡特”系列也是讲火星的，等等。而航天工程师兼宇航员康斯坦丁·费奥克蒂斯托夫曾写道，他在10岁左右（约1936年）意识到了一个悲伤的事实……
…From what I can tell this dates back to before there were actual space programs, so I strongly suspect this has to do with the science fiction in the respective languages. For example in H.G. Wells 1898 War of the Worlds, the bad guys are from Mars, Edgar Rice Burroghs John Carter series is about Mars, etc. whereas engineer cosmonaut Konstantin Feoktsitov wrote that when he was 10 (~1936) he came to a sad realization.…
……最早的一批科幻小说之一。这是加勒特·P·塞维斯的《天空海盗》（The Sky Pirate），他更出名的作品是《爱迪生征服火星》。后者原本是作为 H.G. 威尔斯1898年《世界之战》的未授权续集写的。《天空海盗》当年是在报纸上连载的，从未出过单行本。我是从美国国会图书馆2011年的报纸缩微胶卷扫描件里，把前三章扒出来的。国会图书馆……
…earliest pieces of science fiction. This is "The Sky Pirate", by Garrett P. Serviss, better known for "Edison's Conquest of Mars". That one was intended as an unauthorized sequel to H.G. Wells's 1987 "War of the Worlds". "The Sky Pirate" was serialized in newspapers, and never published as a book. I brought back the first 3 chapters from Library of Congress scans of microfilms of newspapers from 2011. The Library of…
