摘自 Wolfram 本人blog
I spend most of my time trying to build the future with science and technology. But for many years now I’ve also had two other great interests: people and history. And today I’m excited to be publishing my first book that builds on these interests. It’s called Idea Makers, and its subtitle is Personal Perspectives on the Lives & Ideas of Some Notable People. It’s based on essays I’ve written over the past decade about a range of people—from ones I’ve personally known (like Richard Feynman and Steve Jobs) to ones who died long before I was born (like Ada Lovelace and Gottfried Leibniz).
The book is about lives and ideas, and how they mix together. At its core it’s a book of stories about people, and what those people managed to create. It’s the first book I’ve written that’s fundamentally non-technical—and I’m hoping all sorts of readers without deep technical interests will be able to enjoy it.
好友贈與,放在旅行箱裡每次坐火車的時候讀一點。其實都是博客選錄,但難得就難得在 Stephen 在寫的時候就比較用心,很多部分都是他深度 research,甚至是親歷過才寫出來的。我最喜歡馮諾伊曼、費曼和哥德爾的三章,知道了很多八卦。大佬的書 ????
评分Steven Wolfram给Mathematica、NKS有个人或精神关系的前人写的学术传记和个人唁文,或者说着迷于"简单规则,复杂现象"的松散的一群人的精神族谱。每篇都像是NKS的软文,但这是他一辈子的主线,是诚恳的。
评分费曼, 哥德尔, 图灵, 冯诺依曼还有莱布尼茨等等这些人也只能被Wolfram称为"some notable people" XD 感觉写得最好的是Ada Lovelace和Babbage的那篇,其他的都有些意犹未尽。几句不离Wolfram|Alpha还有Mathematica其实我觉得还好。
评分对每个人的评价实在是没有新意,除非你已经知道书中所提到的人。看了几章实在觉得索味!
