Once in a great while a science fiction story is so visionary, yet so close to impending scientific developments that it becomes not only an accurate predictor, but itself the locus for new discoveries and development. True Names by Vernor Vinge, first published in 1981, is such a work. Here is a feast of articles by computer scientists and journalists on the cutting edge of the field, writing about innovations and developments of the Internet, including, among others: Danny Hillis: Founder of thinking machines and the first Disney Fellow. Timothy C. May: former chief scientist at Intel--a major insider in the field of computers and technology. Marvin Minsky: Cofounder of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab. Chip Morningstar and F. Randall Farmer: Codevelopers of habitat, the first real computer interactive environment. Mark Pesce: Cocreator of VRML and the author of the "Playful World: How Technology Transforms Our Imagination." Richard M. Stallman: Research affiliate with MIT; the founder of the Free Software Movement.
Vernor Steffen Vinge is a retired San Diego State University Professor of Mathematics, computer scientist, and science fiction author. He is best known for his Hugo Award-winning novels A Fire Upon The Deep (1992), A Deepness in the Sky (1999) and Rainbows End (2006), his Hugo Award-winning novellas Fast Times at Fairmont High (2002) and The Cookie Monster (2004), as well as for his 1993 essay "The Coming Technological Singularity", in which he argues that exponential growth in technology will reach a point beyond which we cannot even speculate about the consequences.
《真名实姓》是那种被提醒了创作年代,读者才会“哇!”的小说。 设定上,和现实撞车;情节上,又一板一眼,看进度条就知道会发生什么。虽然结尾力度不如中间的高潮,但这并非作者有意引人寻味,而是他本就只写到中间,又接受建议,续了后文。因此,在《真名实姓》与《神经漫游...
评分 评分 评分《真名实姓》我读了不知道多少遍,却还是一次次地回到它身边。四十年前,互联网还是一片蛮荒世界,是文奇无中生有地创造了赛博空间,创造了魔法。我还记得第一次读时的感受:热血上涌,两眼圆睁,魔法成真了。网络空间具象为中世纪古堡,技术具象为巫术,电子世界第一次向文科...
评分我第一次读真名实姓的时候离它创作已经过了很多年,这篇写于1981年的小说在当时是何等的新潮。如今来看,也依旧新潮,好莱坞大片一般的巫师会,画面感极强的场景描写,紧张刺激宏大的场面和精神描写…… 这所有的一切让它成为除了阿瑟·克拉克的一些作品外,对我影响最深的一篇...
Vinge不愧为大师,巫术与网络的比喻大概只有他想得出来
评分科幻令人震惊的力量。1981年写的今天,这不是小说这是预言
评分此作只应天上有
评分现在看来已经有很多赛博朋克的模仿者们做的更好了,但在上世纪八十年代写出该作品,真是牛
评分I walk through the jungle with elephant flying in the air and trees floating on the top of a giant flower, then I know I have destined
