对你这种幻想有两部非常棒的文学处理作品:马克·吐温的《康州美国佬在亚瑟王朝》(A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court)和儒勒·凡尔纳的《神秘岛》(Mysterious Island)。它们的核心情节都是一个掌握丰富制造技术知识的人物,在原始环境中重现这些技术(一个…
Two really good literature treatments of your fantasy are Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and Jules Verne's Mysterious Island. They both have as major plot elements a character who has a lot of knowledge of fabrication techniques, and recreate their technology in a primitive situation (one…
…“修复”非理性小说。Eliezer Yudkowsky 以及他对《哈利·波特》的二创就是最典型的例子。我还可以推荐 Alexander Wales,他也写过原创小说。相关的最早作品大概就是马克·吐温的《康州美国佬在亚瑟王朝》了。在这个流派里经常被提及的另一个名字是布兰登·桑德森(Brandon Sanderson),尤其是他的《迷雾之子》(Mistborn)系列,但我个人还没读过。
…"fix" non-rational fiction. Eliezer Yudkowsky and his take on Harry Potter is the prime example. I can also recommend Alexander Wales who also made original fiction. Probably the oldest related work is A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain. Another name mentioned often in this genre is Brandon Sanderson and especially his Mistborn series, but I have not read it personally.
…愚蠢,最终他们想明白了这点:“大多数魔法的百分之九十,不过在于多掌握一个事实罢了。”然后他们只需要把那些事实搞清楚就行。你读过《出发去当巫师》(Off to Be the Wizard)或者《康州美国佬在亚瑟王朝》吗?我不会把它们称作儿童读物,但或许可以算作青少年(YA)文学。
…stupid and eventually they figure this out: "Ninety percent of most magic merely consists of knowing one extra fact." Then they just need to work out those facts. Have you read Off to Be the Wizard or A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court? I wouldn't call them children's stories, but maybe young adult.
…(https://librivox.org/)上有许多这类公版书的免费有声书。它们都是志愿者录制的,所以质量参差不齐。不过有些录得真挺不错。最近我听了 John Greenman 朗读的《康州美国佬在亚瑟王朝》(https://librivox.org/a-connecticut-yankee-in-king-arthurs-co...),挺逗比的一本书,但非常好玩。
…(https://librivox.org/) has free audiobooks for many of these public domain books. They're recorded by volunteers, so the quality is a grab bag. Some of them are quite good though. Most recently I listened to A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court read by John Greenman (https://librivox.org/a-connecticut-yankee-in-king-arthurs-co...) Goofy book, but very entertaining.

如果要看对“现代工程师把先进技术带到中世纪”这一题材带着讽刺意味的解读,同时还兼顾了社会层面的考量,马克·吐温的《康州美国佬在亚瑟王朝》(http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/86)是一本值得一读的好书。
And for a cynical take on the "modern engineer brings advances to middle age" also taking into account social aspects, Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" (http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/86) is good reading.
