一场数字革命正在加速进行。 一些科幻小说里的场景已经在现实中发生：无人驾驶汽车开上了公路；智能设备能高效地翻译人类语言；人工智能系统在智力竞赛里击败了所有人类选手；工厂雇主开始购买更多的新机器，却不招新工人…… 这些例子都证明，数字技术正在快速地掌握原本只属于人类的技能，并深刻地影响了经济。虽然大多数影响是积极的：数字革新将提高效率、降低商品价格（甚至到免费），以及增加经济总量。 但数字革新也改变了经济总量分配的方式。对处于中层的工作者来说，情况并不乐观。随着技术继续领跑，更多的人将被甩开。工人的技能被计算机掌握后，他们获得的工作机会将更少。他们的薪酬和前景也将进一步缩减和暗淡。创业式的商业模型，新式的组织结构和其他机构都需要保证员工的平均水平不能落后于迅速发展的机器。 在《与机器赛跑》里，布林约尔松和麦卡菲汇集了一系列数据、案例和论证，证明了技术进步正在加速进行，而这种趋势对技能、薪酬和就业机会都有深层影响。本书将告诉你，造成糟糕的就业现状的原因并不是技术的停滞，而是人类和我们的机构无法赶上机器的脚步。

1936年，时年24岁的图灵宣称：“发明一台可用于计算任意可计算序列的单一机器是有可能的。”在《图灵的大教堂》一书中，作者乔治•戴森着重介绍了一小群人，为首的是供职于新泽西州普林斯顿高等研究院的约翰•冯•诺依曼，他参与建造了最早的一台计算机，以实现艾伦•图 灵提出的通用机的愿景。他们的工作打破了用于表意的数字和用于运算的数字之间的区别，世界因此而改变。 科学家们使用5千字节的内存（相当于现代计算机桌面上显示的光标所分配的内存大小），在天气预测和核武器设计方面，都获得了前所未有的成功。同时，他们还利用空闲时间解决各种问题——从病毒的进化到恒星的演变。 戴森教授的叙述既具有历史意义，又富于预见性，为第二次世界大战后期数字宇宙的爆炸提供了新的且重要的信息。代码和计算机的兴起伴随着两大历史性的发展：生物学自我复制序列的破译和氢弹的发明。最具破坏性和最具建设性的人类发明同时出现并不是巧合。

这是第一本关于中国网络和全球风险资本碰撞的历史书，王志东、张朝阳、丁磊……一个个名字渐渐被雨打风吹去；风险资本、纳斯达克、中国网络股……一个个概念渐在人们视线中消失。它记录了新经济在中国的第一次登陆全过程，也记录了改革开放以来最大的经济泡沫的制造秘闻。

25年前的今天，风靡全球的互联网络还存在于一小群“电脑术士”的头脑中。本书讲述了这些天才们是如何以他们创造性的、前所未有的工作，奠定了今日互联网络的基础。

《网络江湖三十六计》内容简介：貌合神离：卖个破绽给对手，让他尝到甜头，自认为可安枕无忧，往往就松懈大意。于是，自己蓄力并反击的机会就来了。诱敌就是“貌合”，暗地发力就是“神离”。

A sweeping, atmospheric history of Bell Labs that highlights its unparalleled role as an incubator of innovation and birthplace of the century's most influential technologies. Bell Laboratories, which thrived from the 1920s to the 1980s, was the most innovative and productive institution of the twentieth century. Long before America's brightest scientific minds began migrating west to Silicon Valley, they flocked to this sylvan campus in the New Jersey suburbs built and funded by AT&T. At its peak, Bell Labs employed nearly fifteen thousand people, twelve hundred of whom had PhDs. Thirteen would go on to win Nobel prizes. It was a citadel of science and scholarship as well as a hotbed of creative thinking. It was, in effect, a factory of ideas whose workings have remained largely hidden until now. "New York Times Magazine" writer Jon Gertner unveils the unique magic of Bell Labs through the eyes and actions of its scientists. These ingenious, often eccentric men would become revolutionaries, and sometimes legends, whether for inventing radio astronomy in their spare time (and on the company's dime), riding unicycles through the corridors, or pioneering the principles that propel today's technology. In these pages, we learn how radar came to be, and lasers, transistors, satellites, mobile phones, and much more. Even more important, Gertner reveals the forces that set off this explosion of creativity. Bell Labs combined the best aspects of the academic and corporate worlds, hiring the brightest and usually the youngest minds, creating a culture and even an architecture that forced employees in different fields to work together, in virtually complete intellectual freedom, with little pressure to create moneymaking innovations. In Gertner's portrait, we come to understand why both researchers and business leaders look to Bell Labs as a model and long to incorporate its magic into their own work. Written with a novelist's gift for pacing and an ability to convey the thrill of innovation, "The Idea Factory" yields a revelatory take on the business of invention. What are the principles of innovation? How do new technology and new ideas begin? Are some environments more favorable than others? How should they be structured, and how should they be governed? Can strokes of genius be accelerated, replicated, standardized? The history of Bell Labs provides crucial answers that can and should be applied today by anyone who wants to understand where good ideas come from.

"Here is the story behind one of the most remarkable Internet successes of our time. Based on scrupulous research and extraordinary access to Google, the book takes you inside the creation and growth of a company whose name is a favorite brand and a standard verb recognized around the world. Its stock is worth more than General Motors’ and Ford’s combined, its staff eats for free in a dining room that used to be run by the Grateful Dead’s former chef, and its employees traverse the firm’s colorful Silicon Valley campus on scooters and inline skates. THE GOOGLE STORY is the definitive account of the populist media company powered by the world’s most advanced technology that in a few short years has revolutionized access to information about everything for everybody everywhere. In 1998, Moscow-born Sergey Brin and Midwest-born Larry Page dropped out of graduate school at Stanford University to, in their own words, “change the world” through a search engine that would organize every bit of information on the Web for free. While the company has done exactly that in more than one hundred languages, Google’s quest continues as it seeks to add millions of library books, television broadcasts, and more to its searchable database. Readers will learn about the amazing business acumen and computer wizardry that started the company on its astonishing course; the secret network of computers delivering lightning-fast search results; the unorthodox approach that has enabled it to challenge Microsoft’s dominance and shake up Wall Street. Even as it rides high, Google wrestles with difficult choices that will enable it to continue expanding while sustaining the guiding vision of its founders’ mantra: DO NO EVIL."

【内容简介】 社交媒体其实并不是什么新鲜的东西。从西塞罗和其他古罗马政治家用来交换信息的莎草纸信，到宗教改革、美国革命、法国大革命期间印制的宣传小册子，过去人类跟同伴交流信息的方式依然影响着现代社会。在报纸、广播和电视在散播信息上面统治了几十年后，互联网的出现使社交媒体重新变成人们与朋友分享信息的有力工具，并推动公共讨论走向一个新的模式。 汤姆•斯丹迪奇在书中提醒我们历史上的社交网络其实跟现代社会的社交媒体有很多相似之处。比如，天主教会在回应马丁•路德的攻击上的两难境地很像今天那些大企业回应网络上的批评时的状况；17世纪人们对于咖啡馆会分散人们工作、学习注意力的指责也很像今天对社交媒体负面作用的担心。借助对托马斯•潘恩和“互联网之父”文顿•瑟夫等人物的讨论，作者还探索了一些人们一直争论的话题：从言论自由和审查之间的张力到社交媒体在启迪创新和激发革命上的作用。这是一次对社交媒体演进的迷人回顾，也是基于历史对未来趋势的完美预测。 --------------------------------- 【编辑推荐】 ◎ 我们生活在互联网时代，怎么能不知道社交媒体的前世今生？本书就是一次对社会化媒体演进的迷人回顾，完全颠覆你的传统思维，重塑我们对社交新媒体的看法。 ◎ 从莎草纸信到小册子、咖啡馆、广播、电视、互联网，社交媒介怎样进化？ ◎ 从古罗马到宗教改革、美国革命，再到阿拉伯之春，社交媒体如何影响社会变迁？ --------------------------------- 【评论】 汤姆•斯丹迪奇又一次完美展示了他将历史与现实的争论联系起来，并激荡出新知的天赋。这本书读起来非常有趣，论证也很具说服力。 ——史蒂文•约翰逊（Steven Johnso，美国著名科普作家、媒体理论家） 这本书让我们懂得，今天的互联网，其实是一个肇始于古罗马的社交媒体传统的延续。这就让我们能更清醒地感知人类现在是如何在转推历史并同时创造未来的。 ——克雷格•纽马克（Craig Newmark，craigslist创始人）

This 25th anniversary edition of Steven Levy's classic book traces the exploits of the computer revolution's original hackers -- those brilliant and eccentric nerds from the late 1950s through the early '80s who took risks, bent the rules, and pushed the world in a radical new direction. With updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg, Richard Stallman, and Steve Wozniak, Hackers is a fascinating story that begins in early computer research labs and leads to the first home computers. Levy profiles the imaginative brainiacs who found clever and unorthodox solutions to computer engineering problems. They had a shared sense of values, known as "the hacker ethic," that still thrives today. Hackers captures a seminal period in recent history when underground activities blazed a trail for today's digital world, from MIT students finagling access to clunky computer-card machines to the DIY culture that spawned the Altair and the Apple II. Amazon.com Exclusive: The Rant Heard Round the World By Steven Levy Author Steven Levy When I began researching Hacker s--so many years ago that it’s scary--I thought I’d largely be chronicling the foibles of a sociologically weird cohort who escaped normal human interaction by retreating to the sterile confines of computers labs. Instead, I discovered a fascinating, funny cohort who wound up transforming human interaction, spreading a culture that affects our views about everything from politics to entertainment to business. The stories of those amazing people and what they did is the backbone of Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution . But when I revisited the book recently to prepare the 25th Anniversary Edition of my first book, it was clear that I had luckily stumbled on the origin of a computer (and Internet) related controversy that still permeates the digital discussion. Throughout the book I write about something I called The Hacker Ethic, my interpretation of several principles implicitly shared by true hackers, no matter whether they were among the early pioneers from MIT’s Tech Model Railroad Club (the Mesopotamia of hacker culture), the hardware hackers of Silicon Valley’s Homebrew Computer Club (who invented the PC industry), or the slick kid programmers of commercial game software. One of those principles was “Information Should Be Free.” This wasn’t a justification of stealing, but an expression of the yearning to know more so one could hack more. The programs that early MIT hackers wrote for big computers were stored on paper tapes. The hackers would keep the tapes in a drawer by the computer so anyone could run the program, change it, and then cut a new tape for the next person to improve. The idea of ownership was alien. This idea came under stress with the advent of personal computers. The Homebrew Club was made of fanatic engineers, along with a few social activists who were thrilled at the democratic possibilities of PCs. The first home computer they could get their hands on was 1975’s Altair, which came in a kit that required a fairly hairy assembly process. (Its inventor was Ed Roberts, an underappreciated pioneer who died earlier this year.) No software came with it. So it was a big deal when 19-year-old Harvard undergrad Bill Gates and his partner Paul Allen wrote a BASIC computer language for it. The Homebrew people were delighted with Altair BASIC, but unhappy that Gates and Allen charged real money for it. Some Homebrew people felt that their need for it outweighed their ability to pay. And after one of them got hold of a “borrowed” tape with the program, he showed up at a meeting with a box of copies (because it is so easy to make perfect copies in the digital age), and proceeded to distribute them to anyone who wanted one, gratis. This didn’t sit well with Bill Gates, who wrote what was to become a famous “Letter to Hobbyists,” basically accusing them of stealing his property. It was the computer-age equivalent to Luther posting the Ninety-Five Theses on the Castle Church. Gate’s complaints would reverberate well into the Internet age, and variations on the controversy persist. Years later, when another undergrad named Shawn Fanning wrote a program called Napster that kicked off massive piracy of song files over the Internet, we saw a bloodier replay of the flap. Today, issues of cost, copying and control still rage--note Viacom’s continuing lawsuit against YouTube and Google. And in my own business—journalism--availability of free news is threatening more traditional, expensive new-gathering. Related issues that also spring from controversies in Hackers are debates over the “walled gardens” of Facebook and Apple’s iPad. I ended the original Hackers with a portrait of Richard Stallman, an MIT hacker dedicated to the principle of free software. I recently revisited him while gathering new material for the 25th Anniversary Edition of Hackers , he was more hard core than ever. He even eschewed the Open Source movement for being insufficiently noncommercial. When I spoke to Gates for the update, I asked him about his 1976 letter and the subsequent intellectual property wars. “Don’t call it war,” he said. “Thank God we have an incentive system. Striking the right balance of how this should work, you know, there's going to be tons of exploration.” Then he applied the controversy to my own situation as a journalism. “Things are in a crazy way for music and movies and books,” he said. “Maybe magazine writers will still get paid 20 years from now. Who knows? Maybe you'll have to cut hair during the day and just write articles at night.” So Amazon.com readers, it’s up to you. Those who have not read Hackers, , have fun and be amazed at the tales of those who changed the world and had a hell of time doing it. Those who have previously read and loved Hackers , replace your beat-up copies, or the ones you loaned out and never got back, with this beautiful 25th Anniversary Edition from O’Reilly with new material about my subsequent visits with Gates, Stallman, and younger hacker figures like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook. If you don’t I may have to buy a scissors--and the next bad haircut could be yours! Read Bill Gates' letter to hobbyists
