具体描述
With Me++ the author of City of Bits and e-topia completes an informal trilogy examining the ramifications of information technology in everyday life. William Mitchell describes the transformation of wireless technology in the hundred years since Marconi--the scaling up of networks and the scaling down of the apparatus for transmission and reception. It is, he says, as if "Brobdingnag had been rebooted as Lilliput"; Marconi's massive mechanism of tower and kerosene engine has been replaced by a palm-size cellphone. If the operators of Marconi's invention can be seen as human appendages to an immobile machine, today's hand-held devices can be seen as extensions of the human body. This transformation has, in turn, changed our relationship with our surroundings and with each other. The cellphone calls from the collapsing World Trade Center towers and the hijacked jets on September 11 were testimony to the intensity of this new state of continuous electronic engagement.<br /> <br /> Thus, Mitchell proposes, the "trial separation" of bits (the elementary unit of information) and atoms (the elementary unit of matter) is over. With increasing frequency, events in physical space reflect events in cyberspace, and vice versa; digital information can, for example, direct the movement of an aircraft or a robot arm. In Me++ Mitchell examines the effects of wireless linkage, global interconnection, miniaturization, and portability on our bodies, our clothing, our architecture, our cities, and our uses of space and time. Computer viruses, cascading power outages, terrorist infiltration of transportation networks, and cellphone conversations in the streets are symptoms of a dramatic new urban condition--that of ubiquitous, inescapable network interconnectivity. He argues that a world governed less and less by boundaries and more and more by connections requires us to reimagine and reconstruct our environment and to reconsider the ethical foundations of design, engineering, and planning practice.

用户评价
这本书的叙事节奏感极其强烈，我几乎是屏住呼吸一口气读完的，中间完全无法停下来。它成功地营造了一种悬念和紧迫感，让你迫切地想知道角色们最终的命运。作者在构建世界观方面也下了大功夫，虽然故事发生在一个看似熟悉的环境中，但通过细致入微的描写，赋予了这个环境一种奇特的张力和宿命感。我特别佩服作者处理群像戏的能力，每一个次要角色都有其鲜明的个性和存在的意义，没有一个人物是多余的工具人。它探讨了集体与个体的关系，以及在巨大社会洪流面前，个人意志如何挣扎求存。总而言之，这是一部充满活力和思辨性的杰作，能极大地激发读者的想象力和批判性思维。
评分说实话，这本书的开篇略显沉闷，我差点就想放弃了。但坚持读下去后，我才发现自己错过了什么。它的魅力在于后劲十足，如同陈年的老酒，越品越有味道。作者似乎对人性的弱点有着近乎残酷的洞察力，毫不留情地揭示了我们在追求“更好”的过程中所付出的代价。我特别喜欢其中关于“选择与后果”的探讨，它没有给出任何简单的答案，而是将难题抛给了读者，迫使我们去反思自己的价值观和生活轨迹。这本书的结构设计也非常精巧，多线叙事巧妙地交织在一起，直到最后才完美闭环，那种豁然开朗的震撼感，是近年来少有作品能给予的。它成功地将一部可能流于说教的作品，转化成了一场深刻的自我对话。
评分这本书简直是读者的心头好！作者的叙事技巧高超，将复杂的社会议题以一种极其个人化和贴近生活的方式呈现出来。我尤其欣赏他对人物内心世界的细腻刻画，每一个角色的挣扎、迷茫与成长都让人感同身受。故事的节奏把握得恰到好处，时而舒缓地铺陈情感，时而又陡然加速，掀起意想不到的波澜。读完后，我发现自己对周遭的世界有了更深一层的理解，那种被触动和启发的感觉久久不能平息。全书的文笔干净利落，却又蕴含着强大的力量，即便是描写平淡的日常场景，也能从中品味出不凡的哲思。这绝对是一本值得反复阅读，并在不同人生阶段都能带来新感悟的佳作。它不仅仅是一个故事，更像是一面镜子，映照出我们每个人内心深处最真实也最柔软的部分。
评分读完这本书后，我感到一种深深的疲惫，但这种疲惫是充实的、有价值的。作者的笔触极其冷静克制，面对人性的黑暗面，他没有渲染，而是用一种近乎冷静的旁观者视角，记录下一切的发生与消亡。这种不动声色的力量，反而比歇斯底里的控诉更加震撼人心。书中对于时间流逝的描绘尤其出色，让人清晰地感受到生命的不可逆转和无常。我仿佛跟着主人公经历了一段漫长而艰辛的旅程，那种饱经风霜后的沉静感，一直伴随着我。这本书不是那种读完后会让你感到愉快的作品，但它绝对是能让你变得更深刻、更懂得敬畏的作品。它像一把手术刀，精准地切开了现代生活的某些弊病，令人深思。
评分我向所有热爱文学和思考的朋友们强烈推荐这本书！它的语言风格简直是一场文字的盛宴，充斥着令人惊叹的比喻和意象，读起来简直是一种享受。作者仿佛是一位技艺精湛的雕塑家，用文字打磨每一个句子，让它们闪烁着智慧的光芒。更难能可贵的是，尽管文字华丽，但故事的核心却异常扎实和真诚。它讲述了一个关于寻找归属感和身份认同的永恒主题，但叙述角度却是如此新颖独特，让我耳目一新。我甚至愿意为了那些精彩绝伦的段落，而将这本书随身携带，以便随时翻阅和回味。它不仅仅满足了阅读的乐趣，更像是一次精神上的洗礼，让人读完后感到灵魂都被净化了许多。
