Beth Harmon 八岁时成为孤儿，貌不惊人。她相貌平平，自己也心知肚明。在肯塔基州的孤儿院里，她悄悄囤积每天发给孩子们以平息单调乏味日常的镇静剂。作为一名数学天赋过人的学生，她被允许去地下室清理黑板擦，在那里她发现门卫每天都在下国际象棋。那是个脾气乖戾的老头，起初对她不理不睬，直到她指出了一步他本可以走的妙招。她通过观察掌握了基础规则，并在逐渐展现出资格后，由他慢慢传授棋局的精妙之道。在此过程中，他……

沃尔特·特维斯的《女王的棋局》
The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis
……在人类将甚至脑力劳动都交托给机器人之后；以及最后一个机器人看守，对自己的使命感到无聊得想自杀。特维斯还写过《天外来客》——还有，多少让人有点意外的是，《女王的棋局》和《江湖浪子》也是他写的。贾斯汀·斯科特的《杀船者》——有点年代感了，但绝对是一部绝佳的复仇冒险小说。在最近新出的书里，我非常喜欢艾德里安·柴可夫斯基的《远古种族》。
…after humanity delegated even intellectual labor to robots; and the last robot overseer, suicidally bored with his assignment. Tevis also wrote The Man Who Fell To Earth – and, somewhat surprisingly, The Queen's Gambit and The Hustler. The Shipkiller, by Justin Scott – dated but a great revenge adventure. And of current releases I really enjoyed Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

There was Nona Gaprindashvili, not up to the level of this tournament, but a player who had met all these Russian grandmasters many times before. ” Excerpt From The Queen's Gambit Walter Tevis This material may be protected by copyright. Looks like Netflix changed the description of Nona from how she was depicted in the book.
沃尔特·特维斯（写过《江湖浪子》、《金钱本色》、《后翼弃兵》还有《天外来客》——作品真够丰收的！）写的《仿生鸟》一直是我最喜欢的书之一，看到他在书中预言人类有多渴望把所有脑力劳动拱手让给……而且说得这么准，真让人毛骨悚然。
Mockingbird, by Walter Tevis (who wrote The Hustler and The Color of Money, and Queen's Gambit, and The Man Who Fell To Earth – quite an oeuvre!) has long been one of my favorite books and it's been eerie to see how right he was about how eager mankind is to hand over all intellectual labor to…
