    …on The Diamond Age. Also Douglas Adams, Vernor Vinge, Richard K. Morgan, and all kinds of other stuff. I like to read almost as much as I like to program. Best nonfiction I have read in a while: "Leaving Microsoft To Change The World" by John Wood. A Microsoft VP leaves to pursue his dream of changing the world with books, and ends up founding Room to Read (http://www.roomtoread.org/ .) Highly recommended.

  • 如果你在找类似风格但内容更扎实的作品,我推荐约翰·伍德的《离开微软改变世界》(Leaving Microsoft to Change The World)。在书里,约翰·伍德讲述了他对微软高管生活方式的厌倦(他觉得那根本不叫生活),并阐述了其创立初衷与理念(教育的重要性…

    If you're looking for something in the same vein but more substantial, I recommend _Leaving Microsoft to Change The World_ by John Wood.
