查理．蒙格（波克夏‧海瑟威副董事長）：「伊隆．馬斯克是有史以來最勇敢的天才！」 太空巡航不再是燒錢白日夢，怎麼辦到？翻轉造車工藝，創始人之謎與真相？如何利用語義樹，變成心智卓越的根基？ ★★揭露矽谷傳奇的背後祕辛！★★ 作者克里斯‧麥可納布藉由這本傳記，深入剖析馬斯克的生平經歷以及他如何塑造事業軌跡與發展方向。探討他的心態和人格特質如何影響成功？如何在失敗中獲取經驗並不斷探索創新？此外，還將關注他在龐大的商業版圖，怎麼保持獨特的價值觀與目標追求！★頑強個性與塑造事業的軌跡 他是創業家伊隆‧馬斯克，引領著科技和創新的浪潮。從年少時的好奇心和冒險精神，到在史丹佛大學的短暫博士生涯，以及隨後的創業歷程，始終將「冒險和學習」作為塑造自己的關鍵元素。 他的商業版圖始於Zip2、X.com和SpaceX等企業，並擴展至特斯拉、太陽能、腦機接口（Neuralink）和無聊公司（The Boring Company），以及買下推特布局社群媒體。 鮮明的個性和形象引領風潮，影響力不亞於任何電影明星，總是處於媒體的聚光燈下，這也帶來了一個問題，人們經常只記得表面成就，卻忽略內在的價值觀和目標追求的過程。克里斯‧麥可納布文中特別提到：「伊隆．馬斯克和多數人都不同，卻也不代表他活在和我們不同的星球上。我會說，馬斯克的確腦力超群、拚勁過人，打破了思考和行動之間的障礙，光就這點，我們就能從他身上學到許多。」 ★打造矽谷傳奇的決心和領袖作風 伊隆．馬斯克以其創新精神和科技洞察力引領著矽谷的浪潮，改變人類對太空探索、電動車、網路銀行、金融交易、太陽能、能量儲存、隧道開挖和人工智慧等概念的認知。他的思維方式和個性備受爭議，但他的成就卻是無可爭辯。他的思考脈絡，以及將其應用於解決現實世界問題的能力，依然能夠給人們帶來許多啟發……，譬如： ◆「破壞性創新」的縝密思維 馬斯克不僅關注科技的未來，也十分清楚人類所面臨的挑戰。他強調人類的脆弱性，並警惕可能的毀滅性事件和人口爆炸等威脅

PULITZER PRIZE WINNER - A gripping memoir on friendship, grief, the search for self, and the solace that can be found through art, by the New Yorker staff writer Hua Hsu "This book is exquisite and excruciating and I will be thinking about it for years and years to come." --Rachel Kushner, New York Times bestselling author of The Flamethrowers and The Mars Room In the eyes of eighteen-year-old Hua Hsu, the problem with Ken--with his passion for Dave Matthews, Abercrombie & Fitch, and his fraternity--is that he is exactly like everyone else. Ken, whose Japanese American family has been in the United States for generations, is mainstream; for Hua, the son of Taiwanese immigrants, who makes 'zines and haunts Bay Area record shops, Ken represents all that he defines himself in opposition to. The only thing Hua and Ken have in common is that, however they engage with it, American culture doesn't seem to have a place for either of them. But despite his first impressions, Hua and Ken beco

我們和所有物種一樣，終將滅絕。動物物種平均約可存在兩百萬年，至少在這方面已獲得充分研究的生物分類族群皆如是。如果只考量我們所屬的物種―─智人，這表示我們還有一點時間。▍想要探究人類未來的命運，首先要知道：我們在生物歷史的什麼位置？就生物學的生命演化樹來看，那些最古老又最龐大的枝幹上面，都是我們得用顯微鏡才看得到的單細胞生物所構成的演化分支。在生物學界，這早就不是新觀念，而是很久以前就知道的事實──我們，哺乳類動物，只是生命演化樹上的其中一個小細枝。▍人類還剩下多少時間？生物法則告訴我們的是……動物物種平均約可存在兩百萬年，人類還剩多少時間？如果我們不至於太過揮霍的話。人類的生存活動已經足以改變地球的氣候、生物的分布與移動。但「生物法則」是一條鐵律，在所有的人類行為中發揮著無形的作用。當我們透過卓越的創新能力、運用科技，「懂得使用蒸氣與燃煤產生動力，也會使用核能、空調與中央暖氣，還興建海水淡化廠，打造其他光鮮亮麗的現代化設備，人類的生態棲位偏偏就是縮小了」。▍企圖掌控大自然的我們，是否讓自然走到了盡頭？1989年，比爾．麥克齊本（Bill McKibben）出版了知名的《自然的盡頭》（The End of Nature）。麥克齊本登高一呼，替自然發出反抗之聲，以強大的動能促成保育行動以及減緩氣候變遷的嘗試。但本書作者唐恩告訴我們：❝這些情況和自然走到盡頭無關。人類走到盡頭的時間，遠比自然走到盡頭要早得多。❞人類對於這個世界的生物所知依然太少，但可以從作者揭示的生物法則中瞭解：當一個物種──比如人類──滅絕以後，大自然會持續依照「規則」進行調整，最後達到某種動態平衡。這並不是說，人類可以繼續破壞自然。而是我們並沒有自己想像中那麼偉大。若是要讓人類能夠在這個星球上存活久一點，我們需要趕緊把握時間。▍我們能否打造一個讓所有物種都活下來的方舟？諾亞方舟的故事中，人類打造了一艘圓船，讓所有動物們乘坐以渡過洪災。生物學家發現，由於人類造成的氣候變遷，動物們也必須遷移才能生存──找到適合的氣候棲位（climate niche）。因此透過對自然法則的理解，建造物種移動所需要的「廊道」，就是生態保育的重要關鍵；作者所參與的夏蘭大計畫（Charlanta project）正是協助我們打造一艘「方舟」以延續物種生命的研究。密西西比河的一再氾濫，是自然給予人類的啟示。生物學家羅伯・唐恩透過各
