Angels & Demons 是美国作家 Dan Brown 于 2000 年出版的畅销悬疑惊悚小说，先后由 Pocket Books 和 Corgi Books 发行。该小说引出了 Robert Langdon 这一人物，他在 Brown 随后的多部小说中作为主角反复登场。Angels & Demons 与其续作具有许多共同的文学风格元素，如秘密结社的阴谋、单日的时间跨度以及天主教会等。全书还大量涉及了古代历史、建筑和符号学。

……那本根本不是，因为如果他哪怕去咨询一个 CS 专业的大一新生，人家都能告诉他全写错了。那次经历彻底让我对 Dan Brown 的书敬而远之了（尽管我之前读过《天使与魔鬼》（Angels and Demons）而且觉得挺好看，但一想到他在我熟悉的领域做的调研如此之烂，我就很难再去读他写我不熟悉领域的书了，因为我知道读完脑子里只会塞满错误的观念）
…that one wasn't, because if he'd consulted even a first year CS student they could've told him it's all wrong. That whole experience turned me off of Dan Brown books (even though I had previously read Angels and Demons and enjoyed it, knowing his research was so shit in areas I'm knowledgeable in makes it harder to read books about things I'm not because I know I will be coming away with wrong ideas stuck in my head)
……有趣的关系。你可以从犯罪惊悚小说、谋杀悬疑类入手。在上述书单中补充一下：Jeffery Archer 和 Dan Brown 分别带来了非常有趣的作品——《该隐与亚伯》（Kane and Abel）和《天使与魔鬼》（Angels and Demons）。另一本你可能会觉得有趣的好书是 Edwin Abbott 的《平面国》（Flatland - a romance of many dimensions）。
…interesting relationships. You can start with Crime thrillers, Murder mysteries. Adding to the above list: Jeffery Archer and Dan Brown present some very interesting books in the form of "Kane and Abel" and "Angels and Demons". Another good book that you might find interesting is "Flatland - a romance of many dimensions" by Edwin Abbott.
……之前提过的，Frank Herbert 是个典型的大器晚成者。一个更现代（但没那么极端）的例子是 Dan Brown：他的第一本书《数字城堡》（Digital Fortress）勉强让他拿到第二本书的合同；《天使与魔鬼》（Angels and Demons）勉强挤进了畅销榜；直到第四本书《达·芬奇密码》（Da Vinci Code），他才一飞冲天成为霸榜巨星。现在他是全球最畅销的作家之一。只要出版……
…before, Frank Herbert was a very late bloomer. A more modern (but less extreme) example would be Dan Brown: his first book, Digital Fortress was just barely good enough to get him a second book deal; Angels and Demons made the best-seller list, barely; he didn't achieve superstar chart-topping success until his fourth book, Da Vinci Code. He's now one of the top-selling authors in the world. As long as publishing…
……《数字城堡》（Digital Fortress）大概是有史以来对计算机和密码学描写最扯淡的书了。Dan Brown 简直是不遗余力地在自己要写的话题上少做调研。在《天使与魔鬼》（Angels and Demons）里，光明会居然想用从 CERN 偷来的装反物质的罐子炸毁梵蒂冈。天哪。《达·芬奇密码》（The Da Vinci Code）也是漏洞百出。我实在搞不懂他怎么能扯淡扯到这种程度……
…Fortress is probably the book with the most bullshit representation of computers and cryptography ever. Dan Brown goes out of his way to do as little research as possible on subjects he's talking about. In Angels and Demons, the Illuminati want to blow up Vatican using jars with antimatter they stole from CERN. Jesus Christ. The Da Vinci Code is similarly flawed. It baffles me how he manages to be so full of shit as to…
实话说，只要你读过超过两本丹·布朗的书，就很难看不出这种套路。《达·芬奇密码》（The Da Vinci Code）和《天使与魔鬼》（Angels and Demons）我都读过，感觉还行，但再读《骗局》（Deception Point）的时候，我提前好几个章节就能把所有剧情反转猜个八九不离十。他的套路化痕迹太重了。
If you read more than two Dan Brown books, honestly it's hard to not see this structure. I read The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, which were OK, but then reading Deception Point I could guess all the plot twists several chapters in advance. He's just very formulaic.
关于《天使与魔鬼》（Angels and Demons）里的双向图（ambigrams）……这位艺术家给作者 Dan Brown 留下了极深的印象，以至于 Brown 决定用他的名字来命名主角。这位艺术家是 John Langdon：https://www.johnlangdon.net/ 拥有……
On the "Angels and Demons" ambigrams... The artist made such an impression to the book author, Dan Brown, that he (Brown) decided to name the protagonist after him. Here's John Langdon, artist: https://www.johnlangdon.net/ Having…
