A fearless and urgent chronicle of the tech-authoritarian movement from its early days in San Francisco politics to its current moment on the international stage, exploring the wild and dystopian ambition of the technocrats at its center, and offering a road map to resistance. When Silicon Valley says it is ‘‘moving fast and breaking things,’’ the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. Gil Durán reveals something far more a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule. Drawing on insider political experience and new investigations, Durán traces this ideology from its philosophical roots in The Sovereign Individual by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg. He introduces its modern apostles—Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Balaji Srinivasan, and Elon Musk—and shows how the promise of technological liberation has transformed into a global movement for digital feudalism, powered by cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and the algorithmic propaganda of social media. The Nerd Reich explains the origins, strategies, and ambitions of Silicon Valley’s war on democracy for the first time. From San Francisco’s weaponized elections and secret billionaire projects to the White House, Durán exposes how the world’s richest men are building a new political order. The Nerd Reich is more than a hidden history, it’s an urgent democracy is being dismantled not by coups or tanks, but by code, capital, and the illusion of innovation. Durán insists there is still time to fight back—if we act now.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum, and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant hero, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. The text in this 372-page paperback edition is based on that first published in Great Britain by Collins Modern Classics (1998), and includes a note on the text by Douglas A. Anderson (2001).

Murderbot wasn’t programmed to care. So, its decision to help the only human who ever showed it respect must be a system glitch, right? Having traveled the width of the galaxy to unearth details of its own murderous transgressions, as well as those of the GrayCris Corporation, Murderbot is heading home to help Dr. Mensah—its former owner (protector? friend?)—submit evidence that could prevent GrayCris from destroying more colonists in its never-ending quest for profit. But who’s going to believe a SecUnit gone rogue? And what will become of it when it’s caught?

A race for survival among the stars... Humanity's last survivors escaped earth's ruins to find a new home. But when they find it, can their desperation overcome its dangers? WHO WILL INHERIT THIS NEW EARTH? The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors, they discover the greatest treasure of the past age—a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has borne disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied. New masters have turned it from a refuge into mankind's worst nightmare. Now two civilizations are on a collision course, both testing the boundaries of what they will do to survive. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, who are the true heirs of this new Earth?

Major New York Times bestseller Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award in 2012 Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the best books of 2011 A Globe and Mail Best Books of the Year 2011 Title One of The Economist’s 2011 Books of the Year One of The Wall Street Journal's Best Nonfiction Books of the Year 2011 In the international bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think. System 1 is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System 2 is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The impact of overconfidence on corporate strategies, the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation—each of these can be understood only by knowing how the two systems shape our judgments and decisions. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, Kahneman reveals where we can and cannot trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking. He offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and our personal lives—and how we can use different techniques to guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble. Winner of the National Academy of Sciences Best Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and selected by The New York Times Book Review as one of the ten best books of 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow is destined to be a classic. One of the New York Times Book Review's Top 10 Books of 2011 Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Review Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2011: Drawing on decades of research in psychology that resulted in a Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, Daniel Kahneman takes readers on an exploration of what influences thought example by example, sometimes with unlikely word pairs like "vomit and banana." System 1 and System 2, the fast and slow types of thinking, become characters that illustrate the psychology behind things we think we understand but really don't, such as intuition. Kahneman's transparent and careful treatment of his subject has the potential to change how we think, not just about thinking, but about how we live our lives. Thinking, Fast and Slow gives deep--and sometimes frightening--insight about what goes on inside our heads: the psychological basis for reactions, judgments, recognition, choices, conclusions, and much more. --JoVon Sotak Review “A tour de force. . . Kahneman’s book is a must read for anyone interested in either human behavior or investing. He clearly shows that while we like to think of ourselves as rational in our decision making, the truth is we are subject to many biases. At least being aware of them will give you a better chance of avoiding them, or at least making fewer of them.”—Larry Swedroe, CBS News “Daniel Kahneman demonstrates forcefully in his new book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, how easy it is for humans to swerve away from rationality.”—Christopher Shea, The Washington Post “An outstanding book, distinguished by beauty and clarity of detail, precision of presentation and gentleness of manner. Its truths are open to all those whose System 2 is not completely defunct. I have hardly touched on its richness.”— Galen Strawson, The Guardian “Brilliant . . . It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of Daniel Kahneman’s contribution to the understanding of the way we think and choose. He stands among the giants, a weaver of the threads of Charles Darwin, Adam Smith and Sigmund Freud. Arguably the most important psychologist in history, Kahneman has reshaped cognitive psychology, the analysis of rationality and reason, the understanding of risk and the study of happiness and well-being . . . A magisterial work, stunning in its ambition, infused with knowledge, laced with wisdom, informed by modesty and deeply humane. If you can read only one book this year, read this one.”— Janice Gross Stein, The Globe and Mail “A sweeping, compelling tale of just how easily our brains are bamboozled, bringing in both his own research and that of numerous psychologists, economists, and other experts...Kahneman has a remarkable ability to take decades worth of research and distill from it what would be important and interesting for a lay audience...Thinking, Fast and Slow is an immensely important book. Many science books are uneven, with a useful or interesting chapter too often followed by a dull one. Not so here. With rare exceptions, the entire span of this weighty book is fascinating and applicable to day-to-day life. Everyone should read Thinking, Fast and Slow.” —Jesse Singal, Boston Globe “We must be grateful to Kahneman for giving us in this book a joyful understanding of the practical side of our personalities.” —Freeman Dyson, The New York Review of Books “Brilliant . . . It is impossible to exaggerate the importance of Daniel Kahneman’s contribution to the understanding of the way we think and choose. He stands among the giants, a weaver of the threads of Charles Darwin, Adam Smith and Sigmund Freud. Arguably the most important psychologist in history, Kahneman has reshaped cognitive psychology, the analysis of rationality and reason, the understanding of risk and the study of happiness and well-being . . . A magisterial work, stunning in its ambition, infused with knowledge, laced with wisdom, informed by modesty and deeply humane. If you can read only one book this year, read this one.” — Janice Gross Stein, The Globe and Mail “It is an astonishingly rich book: lucid, profound, full of intellectual surprises and self-help value. It is consistently entertaining and frequently touching, especially when Kahneman is recounting his collaboration with Tversky . . . So impressive is its vision of flawed human reason that the New York Times columnist David Brooks recently declared that Kahneman and Tversky’s work ‘will be remembered hundreds of years from now,’ and that it is ‘a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves.’ They are, Brooks said, ‘like the Lewis and Clark of the mind’ . . . By the time I got to the end of Thinking, Fast and Slow, my skeptical frown had long since given way to a grin of intellectual satisfaction. Appraising the book by the peak-end rule, I overconfidently urge everyone to buy and read it. But for those who are merely interested in Kahenman’s takeaway on the Malcolm Gladwell question it is this: If you've had 10,000 hours of training in a predictable, rapid-feedback environment—chess, firefighting, anesthesiology—then blink. In all other cases, think.”—The New York Times Book Review “Ask around and you hear pretty much the same thing. 'Kahneman is the most influential psychologist since Sigmund Freud,' says Christopher Chabris, a professor of psychology at Union College, in New York. 'No one else has had such a broad impact on so many fields' . . . It now seems inevitable that Kahneman, who made his reputation by ignoring or defying conventional wisdom, is about to be anointed the intellectual guru of our economically irrational times.”— Evan R. Goldstein, The Chronicle of Higher Education “There have been many good books on human rationality and irrationality, but only one masterpiece. That masterpiece is Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow . . . This is one of the greatest and most engaging collections of insights into the human mind I have read.”—William Easterly, Financial Times “[Thinking, Fast and Slow] is wonderful, of course. To anyone with the slightest interest in the workings of his own mind, it is so rich and fascinating that any summary would seem absurd.”— Michael Lewis, Vanity Fair “Absorbingly articulate and infinitely intelligent . . . What's most enjoyable and compelling about Thinking, Fast and Slow is that it's so utterly, refreshingly anti-Gladwellian. There is nothing pop about Kahneman's psychology, no formulaic story arc, no beating you over the head with an artificial, buzzword-encrusted Big Idea. It's just the wisdom that comes from five decades of honest, rigorous scientific work, delivered humbly yet brilliantly, in a way that will forever change the way you think about thinking.”—Maria Popova, The Atlantic “I will never think about thinking quite the same. [Thinking, Fast and Slow] is a monumental achievement.”—Roger Lowenstein, Bloomberg/Businessweek “Profound . . . As Copernicus removed the Earth from the centre of the universe and Darwin knocked humans off their biological perch, Mr. Kahneman has shown that we are not the paragons of reason we assume ourselves to be.” —The Economist “[Kahneman’s] disarmingly simple experiments have profoundly changed the way that we think about thinking . . . We like to see ourselves as a Promethean species, uniquely endowed with the gift of reason. But Mr. Kahneman’s simple experiments reveal a very different mind, stuffed full of habits that, in most situations, lead us astray.” —Jonah Lehrer, The Wall Street Journal “[A] tour de force of psychological insight, research explication and compelling narrative that brings together in one volume the high points of Mr. Kahneman's notable contributions, over five decades, to the study of human judgment, decision-making and choice . . . Thanks to the elegance and force of his ideas, and the robustness of the evidence he offers for them, he has helped us to a new understanding of our divided minds—and our whole selves.” —Christoper F. Chabris, The Wall Street Journal “The ramifications of Kahenman’s work are wide, extending into education, business, marketing, politics . . . and even happiness research. Call his field “psychonomics,” the hidden reasoning behind our choices. Thinking, Fast and Slow is essential reading for anyone with a mind.” —Kyle Smith, The New York Post “A major intellectual event . . . The work of Kahneman and Tversky was a crucial pivot point in the way we see ourselves.” —David Brooks, The New York Times “Kahneman provides a detailed, yet accessible, description of the psychological mechanisms involved in making decisions.” —Jacek Debiec, Nature “With Kahneman’s expert help, readers may understand this mix of psychology and economics better than most accountants, therapists, or elected representatives. VERDICT A stellar accomplishment, a book for everyone who likes to think and wants to do it better.” —Library Journal “The mind is a hilariously muddled compromise between incompatible modes of thought in this fascinating treatise by a giant in the field of decision research. Nobel-winning psychologist Kahneman (Attention and Effort) posits a brain governed by two clashing decision-making processes. The largely unconscious System 1, he contends, makes intuitive snap judgments based on emotion, memory, and hard-wired rules of thumb; the painfully conscious System 2 laboriously checks the facts and does the math, but is so "lazy" and distractible that it usually defers to System 1. Kahneman uses this scheme to frame a scintillating discussion of his findings in cognitive psychology and behavioral economics, and of the ingenious experiments that tease out the irrational, self-contradictory logics that underlie our choices. We learn why we mistake statistical noise for cohere...

★ 诺贝尔文学奖得主、意大利剧作家达里奥•福代表作 ★ 上演40余年经久不衰的剧目最新演出脚本 《一个无政府主义者的意外死亡》是意大利剧作家、1997年诺贝尔文学奖得主达里奥•福的代表作。1969年，米兰火车站发生一起爆炸案，一名无政府主义者被指控为凶手，审讯期间，他突然跳楼身亡。达里奥•福迅速对此事做出反应，在做出精细的调查之后，写成此剧。一名身患演员狂症的“疯子”在警察局偶然接触到无政府主义者“偶然死亡”的材料，他随机应变，乔装成最高法院的代表复审此案，终于洞悉内情。所谓“意外死亡”，竟是警察对无政府主义者严刑逼供，将其活活打死后从窗口丢下，造成的畏罪自杀的假象。 该剧曾在意大利引起轰动，在两个演出季里，曾连演300场，观众超过三十万人次。在国内，孟京辉导演的同名话剧引起强烈反响，随而成为国内经典剧目。 “演出获取巨大成功的真正原因是什么呢？至少，是源自权力机关颠倒是非、捏造事实的伪善谎言，特别是源自他们对国家制度的恣意践踏。我们清醒地知道，我们的铤而走险可能被告发、被指控、被起诉。但无论如何，我们的行动是值得的。正如贝尔托•布莱希特所说：“黑暗时代中，我们揭露黑暗，美好时代才会到来。”——达里奥•福

繼暢銷書《我們最幸福：★北韓人民的真實生活》， 獲獎記者芭芭拉．德米克又一大無畏揭開獨裁政權真實樣貌之作！！ 此次，德米克深入中國數一數二最難潛入的地方， 探究在中國政府嚴密監控下生活的藏人變成了什麼樣子？中國究竟急於隱瞞哪些事情？ 『中共究竟是怎麼樣的一個政權？ 沒讀過這部作品，別說你真的了解中國。』 ──歐逸文（Evan Osnos） ▶▶▶坐落在青藏高原東部的藏族小鎮「阿壩」（Ngaba），是藏人與共產黨與最初交手的地方， 也是今日備受中國當局壓制與布滿鬼眼監控之地。 一九三○年代，毛澤東的紅軍敗逃到青藏高原，抵達阿壩時， 士兵因為過於飢餓而洗劫當地寺廟，吃下那些由麵粉與酥油做成的小佛像， 他們其實是在吃佛。他們自知褻瀆了西藏人的神聖信仰，卻滿不在乎。 自此每隔十年左右，阿壩就會出現反政府的激烈抗議活動， 自焚的風潮完全戳破了中共聲稱藏人樂於受到中國統治的說法， 這個地方也成了當局的眼中釘…… ※本書入圍巴美列捷福（Baillie Gifford Prize）非虛構寫作獎、《紐約時報》年度最佳好書！ 《華盛頓郵報》、《經濟學人》、《科克斯書評》、《圖書館期刊》、《Outside》、《出版人週刊》、《書單》、美國國家公共廣播電臺……各大媒體齊聲讚譽！ ※札西慈仁　西藏台灣人權連線理事長｜李芃萱　圖博、西藏運動者｜林昶佐Freddy Lim 立法委員、閃靈主唱｜葉浩　政大政治系副教授｜顏擇雅　作家、出版人｜蘭萱　資深媒體人、中廣蘭萱時間節目主持人……一致強力推薦！ 現下新疆維吾爾人與香港人所面臨的處境，藏人早已親身經歷。 中國政府自《十七條協議》簽訂後短短不到幾年，旋即打破一國兩制、高度自治的承諾，無情剝奪藏人的土地、信仰、文化與記憶，對西藏的破壞遠多於創造，一九五○、六○年代，中共在西藏東部對抵抗運動鎮壓造成的死亡人數，甚至比中國要求日本一再道歉的南京大屠殺還多！而那喪生的數十萬西藏「分裂分子」，無疑成了官方口中根本不存在的數字；尚且不論藏人同樣歷經毛澤東的大躍進，死在獄中，死於飢餓，在清算折磨中被處決，在勞改流放中失去生命，他們的遭遇比漢人更慘，不僅更早受到虐待，而且受虐的時間更長。 老一輩的藏人流血奮力抵抗解放軍的入侵，年輕一輩的藏人在共產黨龐大勢力的箝制下，則銘記達賴喇嘛的非暴力理念──他們不忍心殺戮他人，只殺自己──以自焚做為對中共高壓統治的沉重抗議。中國的宣傳人員也愈來愈難以宣稱藏人很幸福，自焚事件接二連三地發生，完全擋不下來。 毛澤東曾對達賴喇嘛說：「宗教是毒藥。」計畫性消滅藏人的語言是必須，打造現代化的樣板城市是必須，鼓勵他們在家中展示習近平的肖像與中國國旗更是必須；黨才是你唯一的神。懼怕宗教力量的共產黨在其建黨一百週年之際，更不遺餘力地淡化藏人生活中佛教信仰的比重，以弱化達賴的影響力。 中國正成為完美的獨裁者。今日藏人的恐懼程度，堪比作者在北韓看到的情況。《洛杉磯時報》駐北京辦公室主任芭芭拉．德米克耗時數年，深入阿壩、成都、拉薩、理縣、九寨溝、南京、中尼邊界、印度達蘭薩拉等地，親訪達賴喇嘛與數十位藏人，並逐一考證查實，描繪出在全世界最有權力的政府的壓制之下，西藏最真實的處境。 ● 本書敘事橫跨數十年的西藏與中國現代史，透過德米克筆下的人物娓娓道來： 在文革期間遭到抄家的公主；在著名的格爾登寺變得激進的年輕流浪藏人； 努力向上卻愛上中國女人的行動創業者；冒著生命危險大膽反抗的詩人兼知識分子； 自小就被迫在家庭與難以捉摸的中國金錢誘惑之間做抉擇的藏族女學生…… 他們都是普通人，他們只是想在家鄉過正常、幸福的生活， 而不必在信仰、家庭、國家之間做出棘手的抉擇。 他們都面臨同樣的困境： 究竟要抵抗中國，還是加入中國？ 究竟要遵循佛教教導的慈悲與非暴力嗎，還是起而反抗？ 西方人長久以來把西藏文化想像成一種充滿靈性與平和的文化，德米克揭開了這種長久以來的誤解，帶大家洞悉二十一世紀藏人的真實樣貌。當今的藏人飽受一個勢不可擋、無所不能的超級大國掠奪，但他們仍努力保護文化、信仰與語言。德米克的描述細膩入微，樸實無華，時而令人震驚，久久無法忘懷。 【各界讚譽】 ★「德米克在報導二十一世紀的西藏時，補上了罕見的人文面向，包括老一輩的抗爭遺風引發了年輕一輩的自焚抗議，以及藏人在中國政府的嚴密監控下生活，承受著種種的痛苦與矛盾，但外界幾乎都看不見。」──《書單》雜誌 ★「精采絕倫……這本書不僅描寫現代的西藏，也有助於說明當前中國的惡劣時局。」──《金融時報》 ★「這本精彩動人的好書以獨特的視角，檢視西藏的困境。它帶著讀者了解，藏人在一場他們既不想要、也令他們費解的政治風暴中，遭到莫名折騰的感受。」──《每日郵報》 ★「這本書的研究深入細膩，講述西藏東部那個美麗地帶的故事，那裡是傳說中美顙王國的所在……藏人在那片壯麗的環境中蓬勃發展了數千年，卻在過去七十年間遭到中國共產黨的侵略與殖民，飽受摧殘。德米克大膽無畏的描寫，理當獲得最高榮耀。讀者可從她筆下那些非凡人物的真實生活，感受到他們人生的巨變。」──羅伯特．瑟曼（Robert A. F. Thurman），哥倫比亞大學榮譽教授 ★「沒讀過德米克描寫的西藏，就無法真正理解中國。她的作品敘事公允，讀來令人不寒而慄，書寫嚴謹，令人敬畏，文字如電影般生動，躍然紙上。」──歐逸文（Evan Osnos），《野心時代》作者 ★「德米克為一個座落在青藏高原、成為反抗基地的前線小鎮，寫下一部哀傷的故事。她以小說的深刻筆觸，透過獨到的細膩研究，提醒大家記憶的持久力量，讓那些不為人知的歷史得以曝光。」──茨仁夏加，著名西藏歷史學家、《龍在雪域》作者 ★「任何對中國與西藏感興趣的人，都不該錯過德米克的新書。這本書報導豐富，行文優美，故事深入人心，令人難以釋卷。」──潘文（John Pomfret），《華盛頓郵報》前北京分社社長、《美國與中國》作者 ★「德米克敞開胸懷去體驗，深入傾聽，冒險犯難，從許多個人飽滿的人生經歷與體會中，勾勒出一幅繽紛的歷史圖景。」──書評家帕盧．薩格（Parul Sehgal），《紐約時報》

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the author of The Martian, a lone astronaut must save the earth from disaster in this "propulsive" (Entertainment Weekly), cinematic thriller full of suspense, humor, and fascinating science--in development as a major motion picture starring Ryan Gosling. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY AND KIRKUS REVIEWS - "An epic story of redemption, discovery and cool speculative sci-fi."--USA Today "If you loved The Martian, you'll go crazy for Weir's latest."--The Washington Post Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission--and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery--and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he's got to do it all alone. Or does he? An irresistible interstellar adventure as only Andy Weir could deliver, Project Hail Mary is a tale of discovery, speculation, and survival to rival The Martian--while taking us to places it never dreamed of going.

Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion.

Hotwired to the leading edges of art and technology, Neuromancer is a cyberpunk, science fiction masterpiece—a classic that ranks with 1984 and Brave New World as one of the twentieth century’s most potent visions of the future. The Matrix is a world within the world, a global consensus-hallucination, the representation of every byte of data in cyberspace... Henry Dorsett Case was the sharpest data-thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled his nervous system. But now a new and very mysterious employer recruits him for a last-chance run. The target: an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan. With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction. The winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind’s digital future—a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about our technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations.

In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety. But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn’t a primary concern. On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied ‘droid — a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as “Murderbot.” Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is. But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.

在生产者和普遍就业的社会中，贫穷是一回事。在消费者社会中，穷人是另一回事。在后者社会中，生活项目围绕消费者的选择而建立，而不是围绕工作、专业技能而建立。“贫穷”曾经与失业联系在一起，如今，它主要指向有缺陷消费者的困境。这种差异改变了贫穷的体验方式，对于拯救苦难产生重大影响。著名社会学家和思想家鲍曼的这部作品，对于消费者社会及其影响进行了反思和论述。在本书中，鲍曼书追溯现代历史上发生的这种变化，对其社会后果进行盘点，并考虑了与贫困作斗争和减轻困苦的各种方式的有效性。 社会学、政治学和社会政策学的研究者会发现，这是关于含义不断变化的一个持久社会问题的一本无价之书。

An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it. Antimemes are real. Think of any piece of information which you wouldn't share with anybody, like passwords, taboos and dirty secrets. Or any piece of information which would be difficult to share even if you complex equations, very boring passages of text, large blocks of random numbers, and dreams... But anomalous antimemes are another matter entirely. How do you contain something you can't record or remember? How do you fight a war against an enemy with effortless, perfect camouflage, when you can never even know that you're at war? Welcome to the Antimemetics Division. No, this is not your first day.This ebook is an official release by me, qntm from the SCP Foundation wiki! PM me if you require confirmation. This ebook collects all of my Antimemetics Division SCP-055, SCP-2256 and the complete serials There Is No Antimemetics Division and Five Five Five Five Five.

“奔跑时，我们是河流。静坐时，我们是池塘。” 在想象力枯萎的时代，你要化身为丰盈的水 · 当代最好的行走文学作家 罗伯特·麦克法伦 重磅新书 一场跨越三大洲的寻水之旅，回到所有故事的源头——水 · ◶ 南美云雾林，印度死城，魁北克洪流：三场冒险，一部关于流水、凡人与神的复 调史诗 ◶ 从冰川到大海，从雨滴到河流，从乳汁到鲜血与眼泪，以流动的文字捕捉水的万千形态——没有任何一种元素，比水更深刻地决定着我们的命运 ◶ 一场不断推翻预设的思维实验：河流是活的，森林拥有记忆，真菌传递信息，生命的边界，远比我们想象的更辽阔 ◶ 剑桥大学教授×英国皇家文学学会会员，地质学×生态学×博物学×文学，历时五年行走与写作，一部智识与诗意交织的非虚构顶峰之作 ◶ 罗新、梁文道、杨照、陈以侃推崇作家，空降《纽约时报》《周日泰晤士报》畅销书榜 ◶ 亚马逊4.6高分，入选《纽约时报》《卫报》等12家权威媒体年度好书 · 继《深时之旅》之后，罗伯特·麦克法伦终于来到所有故事共同的源头——水。 我们将跟随他跨越三个大洲——深入安第斯山脉的云雾森林，寻找一朵能拯救河流的真菌；闯入印度污染最严重的死水禁区，见证一条圣河如何被缓慢地谋杀；在魁北克荒野中顺流而下，把身体完全交给水，只为从河流内部理解一条河。一路同行的，是这个时代仍在倾听和守护活水的人：有人将流水谱成音乐，有人在原告席上代表河流发声，有人在海滩上迎接海浪带来的新生。 很少有作家真正把水作为写作对象。从云雾、泉眼、冰川，到激流、河口、大海，再到我们的乳汁、血液和眼泪，他写水如何塑造山川，也写水如何孕育生命；写水如何流经亿万年时间，也写水如何重新塑造我们的想象力与生命力。 穿梭于生态学、法学、人类学与原住民智慧之间，麦克法伦拆开现代文明早已习惯的思维方式，以真菌、雨滴、森林和河流重新拼起一个彼此连接、万物共生的世界。于是，河流不再只是风景，它流淌于书页之间，也穿透我们的身体和大脑——第一次，水拥有了自己的声音。 “这本书是我同流淌于书页之间的河流一起写成的。我们的命运与河流的命运一同流淌，一直如此。” · 罗伯特·麦克法伦是当今最著名的旅行写作、自然写作作家之一，考虑到他的学院派背景，他对野外的痴迷似乎与他在图书馆的探险出人意料地无缝对接。他的《念念远山》《荒野之境》和《古道》出版不久即成经典。——北京大学历史系教授 罗新 罗伯特·麦克法伦被视为新一代自然写作与旅行文学的旗手，以大量出色的文学修辞（尤其是隐喻）极度延展风景意象及深度，以层出不穷的感官描述创造出人的内在风景和外在风景不停亲密交流的感受。他创新的写作语言带动大量评论，并启发了新一波的地方写作。——作家 杨照 借助麦克法伦的脚步，我们仿佛第一次睁开眼睛，看到了新鲜的、以往不曾见过的自然景物，恢复了因熟知而忽视、因忽视而麻木的听觉、嗅觉、触觉、味觉、动觉。——浙江大学人文学院教授 张德明 科学与诗意交汇，心智和体验穿透风景，麦克法伦像登山者要保命一样，绝不留下任何潦草的动作，用难以想象的精力在行文中贯彻着一种优雅和警觉。——作家、译者 陈以侃 麦克法伦展现了前辈作家难以企及——文献纵深如此悠远、地理规模这般宏大；人物行径百般殊异，但心意却又极其深邃——的人类心灵活动图谱。——作家 詹伟雄 这本书本身就是一条诗意的散文之河，它邀请读者登船，随波漂流，通过三段非凡的旅程，我们将穿越与不同地域及人物相遇的急流，穿行于思想的漩涡之中，并领略原住民世界观的复兴。书中生动的叙述将读者从现实中带离，引领他们沉浸于这些水景之中。读这本书，是一种享受，是一种启迪，更是为了确认——我们的世界正在以美妙又可怕的方式发生着剧变。——丽贝卡·索尔尼特，知名作家（著有《走路的历史》《爱说教的男人》） 《活水》是一部在流动与逆流、追问和反问之间展开的作品。这本书文笔真挚，意境深远，观察细致入微，且感人至深。罗伯特·麦克法伦带领读者共同思考并感受到一个壮丽而神秘的非人类世界的新视角。——伊丽莎白·科尔伯特，知名作家（著有《大灭绝时代》《白色天空下》） 如果你曾从一条河流中感受过爱与美好，那么你也一定能在这本书中找到共鸣。这是一部大师之作。——《经济学人》 麦克法伦的文字，如同他所描绘的河流与他所守护的希望一样美丽。在他的目光所及之处，一切都能化为艺术。他的段落也像他深爱的河流一样流动：有时平静舒缓，徐徐展开；有时则翻涌、碰撞、起泡、奔腾，在一个又一个逗号的引导下向前冲刷，仿佛永远不愿抵达句号。在诗人般的语言背后，始终有一位严谨而投入的学者在工作。这是一部围绕一个重大问题展开的著作，而这个问题的答案将牵动法律、商业、历史与哲学等多个领域。麦克法伦带领读者穿行于这些学科之间，如同支流不断注入同一条河流。——《洛杉矶时报》 麦克法伦这本书恰逢其时。麦克法伦希望河流能够重获生机；同时，他也希望借此提醒我们，人类世界与自然世界从来不是彼此分离的。句子如奔涌的水流般向前推进，在漫长而狂喜的段落里倾泻而下，任由逗号层层叠叠地铺展开来，却顽强地抗拒句号的终止。最终，全书以一种近乎冒险的感情高度收束：当旅程结束时，他仿佛已不再只是一个观察河流的人，而成为了水体的一部分。——《卫报》 《活水》是一部视野开阔的非虚构力作，其调查报道横跨三处迥然不同的水域，麦克法伦不仅带领读者认识这些独特地域中的河流，也让我们走近那些试图拯救它们的环保行动者，以及支撑这些努力的一项新兴哲学与法律理念——“自然权利”运动。《活水》不仅信息丰富，而且时常美得令人屏息，书中充满了丰润华美的句子。这种语言实验赋予了风景一种动态而鲜活的生命力。——《华盛顿邮报》 《活水》以荒野冒险的面貌，展开了一场深刻的哲学之旅；那些惊险的旅程，被麦克法伦写成了一首随白浪奔涌的散文诗。他钟爱语言的创造性，让形容词与名词化身为动词，使大地与风景重新获得生命。树木如尖塔，山脊线在远处呈现蓝色，雾气笼罩着河流。在书里的每一页中，散文都如河流般流淌。——《地球岛》杂志
