为什么值得读
- 对元组空间等计算机科学概念提供深刻洞见
- 构想启发了后来的时间机器备份与推特产品
- 呈现软件把宇宙装入鞋盒般的超前视角
“技术发展并非一帆风顺地平稳流动;真正重要的是那些重大惊喜,而耶鲁大学计算机专家 David Gelernter 预见到了地平线上即将出现的这样一次巨大飞跃。如今的小规模软件程序即将迎来庞大的公共软件系统,它们将彻底革新计算方式并改变整个社会。其中一项庞大的程序就是‘Mirror World’。想象一下,看着电脑屏幕就能看到现实——例如呈现整个城市的图像,包含动态的交通状况,或是实时勾勒出一家庞大跨国企业此时此刻运转状态的全貌。这些代表……”

如果你对元组空间(tuple spaces)感兴趣,我推荐读读戴维·格勒恩特尔(David Gelernter)的《镜像世界:软件将宇宙装入鞋盒的那一天……它将如何发生以及意味着什么》,以及你能找到的任何 Jini 文档。
If you are interested in tuple spaces then I recommend reading David Gelernter’s “Mirror Worlds: or the Day Software Puts the Universe in a Shoebox...How It Will Happen and What It Will Mean” and any Jini documentation you can get.
我一直受到戴维·格勒恩特尔的 Mirror Worlds 和 LifeStreams 项目的启发。在苹果的 Time Machine 备份 UI 甚至 Twitter 上,你都能看到他一部分愿景/哲学的影子:http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/freeman/lifestreams.html “生活是一连串的事件……
I've always been inspired by David Gelernter's Mirror Worlds and LifeStreams projects. You can see parts of his vision/ philosophy in Apple's Time Machine backup UI and even Twitter: http://www.cs.yale.edu/homes/freeman/lifestreams.html "Life is a series of events…
戴维·格勒恩特尔的《镜像世界》(Mirror Worlds),如果你想看一本既奇特又蕴含真知灼见的计算机科学(CS)书籍的话。
“Mirror Worlds” by David Gelernter if you want a weird CS book that contains genuine insight.
……相当不错的书。我感觉在经历了 Visual Basic 组件的年代之后,我们的技术发展方向彻底走偏了。我总会回想起超级分发(Superdistribution)、Visual Basic 组件(VBX/OCX),以及《镜像世界》[1]里的概念(元组空间),琢磨着沿那些路子走是否依然存在可探索的方向。 1) 《镜像世界:软件将宇宙装入鞋盒的那一天……它将如何发生以及意味着什么》
…pretty good book. I guess we went a really different direction after the Visual Basic component years. I keep coming back to Superdistribution, Visual Basic components (VBX/OCX), and the concepts from Mirror Worlds[1] (tuples spaces) and wonder if there is still some paths to look at down those roads. 1) Mirror Worlds: or the Day Software Puts the Universe in a Shoebox...How It Will Happen and What It Will Mean
《Mirror Worlds》这书很值得一读。我书架上就摆着它,旁边是他写的另一本书《Machine Beauty》。我之前还真不知道他是大学炸弹客(Unabomber)的受害者,真倒霉啊。
Mirror Worlds (the book) is a great read. I have it on my shelf next to his other book, Machine Beauty. I didn't know he was a victim of the Unabomber, that's unfortunate.
