为什么值得读
- 描绘大部分工作被自动化后的社会阶层对立
- 探讨极少数工程师与失业底层群体的生存境况
- 启发读者反思技术演进对教育与研究的影响
Vonnegut 的处女作小说讲述了工程师 Paul Proteus 令人不寒而栗的故事，他必须在一个被超级计算机统治、完全由机器运转的世界里寻找生存之道。Paul 的反抗具有典型的 Vonnegut 风格——狂放诙谐、严肃至极，且恐怖地逼近现实。

整场讨论让我想起了库尔特·冯内古特的《自动钢琴》。可惜目前还没人提过。也许是因为读过它的德国人不多吧。不管怎样，它为整个讨论提供了一个全新的视角。主管教育与科研的那位……
This whole discussion reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano. Sadly no such reference has been made yet. Maybe that's because not a lot of Germans have read it. Anyway, it sheds the whole discussion in a new light. The person in charge of education and research…
早在克鲁格曼之前，库尔特·冯内古特就写过了。1952年，他发表了自己的处女作《自动钢琴》，描绘了一个绝大多数工作都被自动化的社会。少数在职的“管理者与工程师”与大多数沦为失业底层的民众之间，存在着一条尖锐的阶级鸿沟。这非常……
Well before Krugman, it was Kurt Vonnegut. In 1952, he published his first novel Player Piano, which describes a society where most jobs are automated. There's a sharp class divide between the few "managers and engineers" who work and most people who live in an unemployed underclass. It's very…
……我们的老师教的可不只有这些。这门课花了相当多时间讲编程史（比如阿达·洛夫莱斯之类），而我印象最深的是我们阅读并讨论了冯内古特的《自动钢琴》。回想起来，那门课对我影响深远。
…our teacher didn't just teach that. The class put substantial time into things like history of programming (e.g., Ada Lovelace), and the thing I remember most was that we read and discussed Vonnegut's "Player Piano". In hindsight, that class was formative.
我们可以让他们全去读读库尔特·冯内古特的《自动钢琴》:) 这正是整部小说探讨的主题，而且写得极好。
We could make them all read "Player Piano" by Kurt Vonnegut. :) That's the subject of the whole novel, and it's a really great one.
关于你的第一个观点，我没有答案。不过，要想看对此事更具讽刺意味的解读，请读读冯内古特的《自动钢琴》。关于你的第二个观点，我在另一篇帖子里提过，但后稀缺经济学似乎是构想未来社会形态的最佳“思想实验”。我真的……
Regarding your first point, I don't have an answer. But, for a more ironic take on the issue, please read 'Player Piano' by Vonnegut. Regarding your second point, I addressed this in the other post, but post-scarcity economics seems to be the best 'thought experiment' as to what a future society would look like. I truly…
