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.
这不是一本小说集,虽然这里面收录了两篇小说,最重要的一篇当然是弗诺·文奇的《真名实姓》。 这更像一本评论集,在文奇的小说前面,有八篇美国科技界的大咖围绕《真名实姓》的深入解析和延伸话题的讨论。 1981年,科幻作家、数学家、圣地亚哥州立大学的计算机科学教授弗诺·...
评分从没看过这样的小说,小说与和它相关的论文合成一个集子出版,但论文的篇幅比小说还重。 想来时因为中篇小说不好出版,于是便拉来几位互联网大咖,做成一本关于互联网的漫想合集。 但说实话,几篇论文都晦涩难懂,看得人头大,相比之下小说反而是最好看的。 这样还不如出一半弗...
评分一开始以为该书是一本科幻短篇的合集,其实除了最后登场的主角《真名实姓》,其他都是有关电脑网络和人工智能等话题的小论文。短小精悍的《阅读的权利》和重头戏《真名实姓》以外,其余几篇可读性并不很强,不过对这方面感兴趣的读者科普一下也是不错的。 于是我直奔主题首先拜...
