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.
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...
評分 評分《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...
評分2017年,马云在中国国际大数据产业博览会的“机器智能”高峰对话会上发表演讲,称掌握着全中国胸罩最小的几个省的“平胸”数据,引发网络热议。放在《真名实姓》的魔法世界里,大概就像大巫达成了一次完美的“以个体化身偷走黑手党30亿美元”的成就,并得到普通用户的争相追捧...
評分女士们,先生们,老少爷们儿们!在下张大少! 先纪念一下N年前《科幻世界》上的《真名实姓》连载,年少时的科幻启蒙读物。 关于弗诺·文奇的小说诸位读者心中自有明断,自然无需在下多言。在下在此胡扯些关于加密术的知识。 书中《密码学与真名实姓的政治学》一节介绍了密码学...
