……《Brave New World》，但绝对顶级的还得是这几位作者的任何作品：Stanislaw Lem（《Cyberiad》《Futurological Congress》《Solaris》）、Alfred Bester（《The Stars My Destination》《The Demolished Man》）或者 Samuel R. Delany（《Babel-17》《Dhalgren》《Triton》《Nova》）。哦对了，Roger Zelazny 的《Lord of Light》和《This Immortal》也都很棒。Philip K. Dick 的某些作品挺神，但大家都推荐他。:) 差点忘了 John Brunner，去看看……
…Brave New World But the Absolute Best would be anything by: Stanislaw Lem (Cyberiad, Futurological Congress, Solaris) Alfred Bester (The STars my Destination, The Demolished Man) or Samuel R. Delany (Babel-17, Dhalgren, Trtion, Nova) oh and Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light and This Immortal are both great. Some of Philip K. Dick's stuff is great, but everyone recommends him. :) almost forgot John Brunner, check…
去读读 Delany 的获奖名作《Babel-17》吧，这部科幻小说探讨了“语言、尤其是语言的记法会影响人对世界的认知”这一观点。
Read the award winning Babel-17 by Delany for a bit of science fiction that explores this idea that language and particularly the notation of the language affects one's perception of the world.
……推荐（想看点经典科幻的话），另外斯特鲁加茨基兄弟的《Roadside Picnic》也非常棒。顺着上面列出的其他书的主题，我会推荐 Bruce Sterling 的《Holy Fire》，或者 Samuel R. Delany 的《Babel-17》（虽然我个人更喜欢他探讨类似主题的青年奇幻小说《Neveryóna》）。此外，读他的《The Einstein Intersection》也绝不会踩雷。最后，如果你还没……
…recommend (for some classic sci-fi), also Roadside Picnic (Strugatsky brothers) is very good. Keeping with the theme of the other books listed above, I'd recommend Bruce Sterling's "Holy Fire", or maybe "Babel-17" by Samuel R. Delany (although I prefer his youth fantasy novel "Neveyona" which deals with some of the same themes). Also, you can't go wrong with his "The Einstein Intersection". Finally, if you haven't…
John Christopher 的三脚系列（Tripod Trilogy）：《The White Mountains》、《The Pool of Fire》、《The City of Gold and Lead》；Robert Heinlein 的《Podkayne of Mars》、《Tunnel in the Sky》或《Beyond this Horizon》；Samuel Delany 的《Babel-17》或《The Einstein Intersection》；Roger Zelazny 的《Lord of Light》

哦对，所谓的萨丕尔-沃尔夫假说（Sapir-Whorf hypothesis），言论警察们最爱的神话。拿来写科幻小说很棒（去读读 Delany 的《Babel-17》，那是部经典），但遗憾的是，作为一个现实中的观念——声称有科学证据表明如果我们使用类似“blacklist”（黑名单）这样的词就会对深肤色人群产生偏见（但禁止……
Oh yes, the so called Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, the beloved myth of the speech police. It makes great science fiction (read Babel-17 by Delany, it's a classic) but unfortunately as a practical idea that states there's scientific proof that if we use words like "blacklist" it makes us prejudiced against dark-skinned people (but banning…
