他的年度假期推薦書單

包括科幻小說、諾獎得主作品等

Holiday Books 2021?With Bill Gates

* 以下內容來源比爾蓋茨官方

“我今年的假期閱讀清單上有兩本很棒的科幻小說，都引發我思考一個共同的問題，即人們如何利用科技來應對挑戰。我的清單上還有兩本關于前沿科學的非小說類書籍，以及一本讓我重新審視一位歷史上最著名人物（莎士比亞）的小說。”

“When I was a kid, I was obsessed with science fiction.As I got older, I started reading a lot more non-fiction. I was still interested in books that explored the implications of innovation, but it felt more important to learn something about our real world along the way. Lately, though, I’ve found myself drawn back to the kinds of books I would’ve loved as a kid.

I read a lot of great books this year—including John Doerr’s latest about climate change—but these were some of my favorites.”

Hamnet《哈姆內特》

作者

Maggie O'Farrell |?瑪吉奧法雷爾

比爾·蓋茨書評

“If you’re a Shakespeare fan, you’ll love this moving novel about how his personal life might’ve influenced the writing of one of his most famous plays. O’Farrell has built her story on two facts we know to be true about “The Bard”: his son Hamnet died at the age of 11, and a couple years later, Shakespeare wrote a tragedy called Hamlet. I especially enjoyed reading about his wife, Anne, who is imagined here as an almost supernatural figure.”

“如果你是莎士比亞的粉絲，那么你會喜歡這部感人的小說，該書講述了莎士比亞的個人生活如何影響他最著名的一部戲劇的創作。”（部分翻譯）

A Thousand Brains: A New Theory of Intelligence《千腦筋：一種新的智能理論》

作者

Jeff Hawkins |?杰夫·霍金斯

比爾·蓋茨書評

“Few subjects have captured the imaginations of science fiction writers like artificial intelligence. If you’re interested in learning more about what it might take to create a true AI, this book offers a fascinating theory. Hawkins may be best known as the co-inventor of the PalmPilot, but he’s spent decades thinking about the connections between neuroscience and machine learning, and there’s no better introduction to his thinking than this book..”

“很少有主題能像人工智能一樣吸引科幻作家的想象力。如果你有興趣進一步了解創造一個真正的人工智能可能需要什么，那么這本書提供了一個引人入勝的理論視角。”（部分翻譯）

The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing,?and the Future of the Human Race《密碼破譯者：珍妮弗·道德納，基因編輯及人類未來》

作者

Walter Isaacson |?沃爾特·艾薩克森

比爾·蓋茨書評

“The CRISPR gene editing system is one of the coolest and perhaps most consequential scientific breakthroughs of the last decade. I’m familiar with it because of my work at the foundation—we’re funding a number of projects that use the technology—but I still learned a lot from this comprehensive and accessible book about its discovery by Nobel Prize-winning biochemist Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues. Isaacson does a good job highlighting the most important ethical questions around gene editing..”

“該書講述了諾貝爾獎得主、生物化學家珍妮弗·道德納和她的同事探索這項CRISPR基因編輯工具的歷程。”（部分翻譯）

Klara and the Sun《克拉拉與太陽》

作者

Kazuo Ishiguro |?石黑一雄

比爾·蓋茨書評

“I love a good robot story, and Ishiguro’s novel about an “artificial friend” to a sick young girl is no exception. Although it takes place in a dystopian future, the robots aren’t a force for evil. Instead, they serve as companions to keep people company. This book made me think about what life with super intelligent robots might look like—and whether we’ll treat these kinds of machines as pieces of technology or as something more.”

“這本書讓我思考擁有超級智能機器人的生活將會是什么樣子——我們會將這種機器視為一項技術，還是將其視為更重要的東西。”（部分翻譯）

Project Hail Mary《挽救計劃》

作者

Andy Weir |?安迪·威爾

比爾·蓋茨書評

“Like most people, I was first introduced to Weir’s writing through The Martian. His latest novel is a wild tale about a high school science teacher who wakes up in a different star system with no memory of how he got there. The rest of the story is all about how he uses science and engineering to save the day. It’s a fun read, and I finished the whole thing in one weekend.”

“我是通過《火星救援》第一次接觸到威爾的作品。這本書很有趣，我一個周末就讀完了整本書。”（部分翻譯）
