Syaman Rapongan—one of the Indigenous Tao people of Orchid Island near Taiwan—calls himself an “ocean writer.” His works blend Tao folklore and accounts of maritime life with keen critique of the social, psychological, and ecological harms of colonialism. Eyes of the Ocean is his literary autobiography, both a powerful story of survival in a settler state and a masterful portrait of the Indigenous artist as a young man.In colloquial and vivid prose, Syaman Rapongan depicts Tao beliefs in ghosts, practices of exorcism, and the parallel worlds that exist alongside the human realm. He recounts his difficulties speaking Mandarin in school, his experiences of racial discrimination and exploitation in Taipei, and his decision to return to Orchid Island to rediscover his cultural heritage, as well as his travels to visit other Indigenous artists in places such as Greenland. Eyes of the Ocean also tells the story of Syaman Rapongan’s formation as a writer, a practitioner of a genre of his own

The riveting investigative account of Nvidia, the tech company that has exploded in value for its artificial intelligence computing hardware, and Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s charismatic, uncompromising CEO In March 2024, following the revelation that ChatGPT had trained on Nvidia’s microchips, and twenty-one years after its founding in a Denny’s restaurant, Nvidia became the third most-valuable corporation on Earth. In The Thinking Machine, acclaimed journalist Stephen Witt recounts the unlikely story of how a manufacturer of video game components shocked Silicon Valley by establishing a monopoly on AI hardware, and in the process re-invented the computer. Essential to Nvidia’s meteoric success is its visionary CEO Jensen Huang, who more than a decade ago, on the basis of a few promising scientific results, bet his entire company on AI. Through unprecedented access to Huang, his friends, his investors, and his employees, Witt documents for the first time the company’s epic rise and its ic

本書為青年詩人炎石首次較完整的作品集結，收錄其2011年至2022年間新詩作品。詩人的夜鶯之喉舌彈北國詩人少有的呢喃細密之音，對語音之美深入味蕾的細咂，附麗其修遠之心，並借助古典資源與當代景觀並置，形成的獨一無二的嗓音和抒情性，足以在當下詩歌版圖中蓬勃一片沃土。近來的詩作，則發願於古老詩學旨歸：詩可以怨。詩人奉「屏體」為餘生新詩之正體，並以「即怨」臨摹古典抒情之關懷，淹留於杜甫、卞之琳的磁場和氣場，精準和迅速地對表當代政治時間。與此同時，走鋼絲般迤邐地「朝著語言危險的風景」深入又深入，展現了絕美的風姿和風度。可以毫不誇張地說，如果詩歌是撫慰人心最好的工具，那麼炎石詩歌既美且悲的韻致，極好地氤氳並擴大了詩作為詩的魅力。其不被評論之眼細觀的處境，恰是其詩歌複雜性的明證。細忖裸奔之人的速度與激情，實需庸俗之眼閉而再睜尚回神於恍惚之間。
