A sweeping history of and meditation on humanity's relationship with machines, showing how we got here and what happens nextFaith in technological fixes for our problems is waning. Automation, which promised relief from toil, has reactivated the long-standing fear of job redundancy. Information technology, meant to liberate us from traditional authority, is placing unprecedented powers of surveillance and control in the hands of a purely secular Big Brother.And for the first time, artificial intelligence threatens anthropogenic disaster – disaster caused by our own activities. Scientists join imaginative writers in warning us of the fate of Icarus, whose wings melted because he flew too close to the sun. This book tells the story of our fractured relationship with machines from humanity’s first tools down to the present and into the future.It raises the crucial question of why some parts of the world developed a ‘machine civilisation’ and not others, and traces the interactions between

A slender novel of epic power, Orbital deftly snapshots one day in the lives of six women and men hurtling through space--not towards the moon or the vast unknown, but around our planet. Selected for one of the last space station missions of its kind before the program is dismantled, these astronauts and cosmonauts--from America, Russia, Italy, Britain, and Japan--have left their lives behind to travel at a speed of over seventeen thousand miles an hour as the earth reels below. We glimpse moments of their earthly lives through brief communications with family, their photos and talismans; we watch them whip up dehydrated meals, float in gravity-free sleep, and exercise in regimented routines to prevent atrophying muscles; we witness them form bonds that will stand between them and utter solitude. Most of all, we are with them as they behold and record their silent blue planet. Their experiences of sixteen sunrises and sunsets and the bright, blinking constellations of the galaxy are at

《紐約時報》暢銷書！2023年Amazon最佳書籍瑞．達利歐不希望你讀這本書當橋水基金的創始人、全球最大的對沖基金創始人雷．達利歐在2022年宣布他將卸任這家近50年前從公寓起步的公司，這一訊息震驚全世界。達利歐因其公司驚人的成功而在國際上獲得崇拜和名聲，並因他頻繁的媒體露面、與名人的交往，以及其暢銷書《原則》的出版而增添神祕色彩。然而，《暗黑原則》的得獎記者，紐約時報的羅伯．柯普蘭揭穿了這位仁慈企業巨擘所精心構建的人設，揭示他的「原則」實際上是現代記憶中的一大傲慢—它們在實踐中助長一種有毒的偏執和背叛文化。《暗黑原則》是一段引人入勝、超越虛構的旅程，深入探討財富和權力的稀有世界。它毫不留情地審視了達利歐所稱的其商業成功和意義人生的核心信條「激進透明」所帶來的痛苦。作者柯普蘭利用數百次內部和周邊人士的訪談，帶領讀者進入一個充滿故事的房間：美國前FBI局長詹姆斯・科米親吻達利歐的戒指、現任賓州參議院候選人大衛・麥考米克飲用「酷樂水」，以及一群難忘角色在他們魅力領導者的注視下，與自身的心理和道德極限作鬥爭。這是一個警示故事，對於任何堅信賺取大量金錢與揭示人性原則有任何關聯的人。【推薦人】瓦基｜「閱讀前哨站」站長李全興（老查）｜數位轉型顧問李麗美 Limei Lee｜旅美書評人許繼元 Mr.Market 市場先生｜財經作家游庭皓｜財經直播主雷浩斯｜價值投資者/財經作家【各界好評】終於，億萬富翁哲學家國王的時代有了一本具有定義性的書籍。《暗黑原則》是一部緊湊的非虛構驚悚小說。布萊恩‧伯瑞（Bryan Burrough）《門口的野蠻人》（Barbarians at the Gate）作者這是一個關於華爾街最有名人物的經典美國故事—或者說他看似的樣子。《暗黑原則》同時讓人震驚和娛樂。菲利普‧邁耶（Philipp Meyer）《美國銹跡》（American Rust）和《兒子》（The Son）的暢銷書作者我讀過最具爆炸性、令人耳目一新的商業書籍—而且也是最有趣的。布萊利‧霍普（Bradley Hope）《紐約時報》暢銷書《鯨吞億萬》（bestseller Billion Dollar Whale）的共同作者 毀滅性……充滿令人愉快的可怕軼事。貝瑟尼‧麥克林（Bethany McLean）《房間裡最精明的人》（The Smartest Guys in the Room）的暢銷書作

願我們都能傾聽內心的聲音、試著理解他人，做出盡量善良、溫柔的決定。或許，我是說或許，越為人家著想，人家就越為我們想。給台灣的情書：在夕陽下看到黃昏市場大哥大姐準備開店的樣子時、在充滿木頭香味的古蹟裡看書時、在路上被第五百次問路時、或在便利商店取貨付款時，我生活中有無數個這種小小的奇蹟時刻，每一個時刻都讓我全身充滿「這就是台灣啊，太幸福了」的感覺。世界不夠好，但我們可以變好：大家捐錢是為了什麼？為了積陰德祈福、節稅、求得好名聲，還是為了心中理想世界的樣子？真要說的話，我可能比較接近最後一項。試成美麗的街景：一直以來只穿黑、白、灰、藍的我，那天在服飾店也挑了粉綠色的長褲。每次都試一點不同的，慢慢找到自己適合的，或許有天，我也會是美麗街景的一部分。終點前的回眸：工作花掉我們這麼多時間、職涯又這麼長，你想要怎麼被記得呢？願我們從終點回眸時，即使有憾、也都無悔。香香的對抗世界：走出球場的時候，我滿心感謝，感覺對這個世界依然可以有所期待。第二天開始，我噴上喜歡的香水、繼續做我覺得對的事，然後笑笑的，畢竟 there's no crying in baseball（棒球裡沒有眼淚）。希望這本書是像彩虹一樣的橋，讓異國的人們來這片土地看看；也希望很久很久以後，我們仍然可以這樣自由的寫著我們熱愛的家。 「有人說自由像空氣，平常沒感覺、沒有就知道有多痛苦；我覺得安全也是，去到美國的我，覺得像在習慣阿爾卑斯山上純淨空氣的人來到工業城，一直咳嗽才知道空氣品質也是有分的。謝謝守護台灣的人們，你們一直背著我們，卻從未嫌我們重。」——張瀞仁Jill專文推薦曾文誠（資深球評）近藤弥生子 Yaeko Kondo（編輯、紀實文學作家）溫暖推薦野島剛（資深媒體人／作家）楊双子（小說家）郭怡慧 Michelle Kuo（政大創新國際學院客座副教授，《陪你讀下去》作者）我們或許可以和Jill一樣，學著看看台灣的美、學著看看身邊事物的好，也或者靜下心來回想有什麼是你在乎的，可以永遠珍藏在心裡的記憶，試者也寫封「情書」吧，不論要給誰都是很棒的！——曾文誠 Jill曾形容我「像一扇能看讓日本與台灣互相看見的窗戶」，對我來說，她也是一樣。 像Jill這樣，在台灣，大家能用我沒有的視角看待世界各種事物，總是動搖我的價值觀，幫助我解開在日本成長過程中不知不覺中被束縛的「必須如此」的枷鎖。這種解放的

Salinger）那般於巔峰之際神隱的事蹟。曾撰寫《紐約客》創辦人哈羅德．羅斯（Harold Ross）傳記的湯瑪斯．康克爾（Thomas Kunkel），所撰寫的《米契爾先生為何不寫了？》（Man in Profile），是第一部完整追索米契爾的傳記。這位傳奇作家如何思考？如何寫作？此外，亦嘗試回答困擾讀者和評論家數十年的大哉問：米契爾為何停筆三十年？無論戰前抑或戰後，米契爾耗費數十年於

Most histories of Hong Kong begin with the arrival of the British, and only incidentally mention the precolonial eras. In this book, Patrick Hase, one of the leaders in the field, provides an important addition to the history of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region, covering topics such as Chinese ethnicity, commerce, port-towns, and squatting. It is a truly excellent work that will interest historians, anthropologists, and social scientists.—James L. WatsonFairbank Professor of Chinese Society and Anthropology Emeritus,Harvard UniversityThis book, an historical and archaeological portrayal of Hong Kong market villages across the territory, depicts how Hong Kong evolved not through chronicles of emperors and governors but through the ups and downs of different centres of rural life over the centuries. It belongs beyond the bookshelves of historians and archaeologists—anyone wandering the streets of Hong Kong neighbourhoods today wondering “how did this place get to be here?” wil
