vs2015 帮助内容

It’s that time of year again. The time when readers everywhere post their “best books of whatever-year” and “my favorite books of the year” lists making my pile of books to read grow rapidly. As usual, I’m happy to return the favor.

又到了每年的这个时候。 到处都是读者发布“年度最佳书籍”和“年度我最喜欢的书籍”的时候，清单使我的阅读书籍Swift增长。 和往常一样，我很高兴回报您的青睐。

As I did in the past, I’ve included a rating and short review of each book I’ve read to give both you and I some idea of why I enjoyed each book. You’ll notice that no book has a rating below three stars out of five—that’s because if I am not enjoying a book on some level, I discard it. Life is too short to spend reading books that aren’t interesting.

和过去一样，我对已读过的每本书都进行了评分和简短回顾，以使您和我都能理解为什么我喜欢每本书。 您会注意到，没有一本书的评分低于五颗星中的三颗星-这是因为，如果我在某种程度上不喜欢一本书，就会将其丢弃。 生命太短了，无法花钱阅读没意思的书。

If you forced me to choose, I’d have to say my three favorite fiction books were: All the Light We Cannot See, Crime and Punishment and Leviathan Wakes. My three favorite non-fiction books were: They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky, How Music Got Free and So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed.

如果您强迫我选择，我不得不说我最喜欢的三本小说书是： 《我们看不到的所有光》 ，《 犯罪与惩罚》和《 利维坦·沃克斯》 。 我最喜欢的三本非小说类书籍是： 它们从天上向我们倾泻而下 ， 音乐如何自由 传播 ， 所以您受到了公众的羞辱 。

1. The End of Absence by Michael Harris ⁴⁄₅

   缺席的结束通过迈克尔哈里斯^{_五分之四}

   I found myself nodding my head in agreement quite frequently while reading this meditation on the way technology is slowing but surely filling in anything that vaguely resembles a void in our “busyness”. There was one point early on in the book where I worried the author was about to get a little too over-the-top in his critique and concerns, but as it turns out, he comes to a pragmatic conclusion at the end arguing that while every technology can alienate us from some part of life, it is our job “to notice”.

   当我读到有关技术正在放缓的沉思时，我发现自己经常点头同意，但肯定可以填补任何模糊地类似于我们“忙碌”中的空白的东西。 在本书的开头，我曾担心过一点，即作者担心自己的批评和担忧过高，但事实证明，他最后得出了一个务实的结论，认为每种技术都可以使我们与生活的某些部分疏远，这是我们的工作“要注意”。

2. Right Ho, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse ³⁄₅

   右何，Jeeves的由沃德豪斯^{_五分之三}

   I was torn on how to rate this book. There are sections that are very good and laugh-out-loud funny (particularly much of the quick back-and-forth banter between Jeeves and Bertie) but most of the time the book seemed to drag along. Judging by the overwhelmingly positive reviews of this book (and Wodehouse in general), I’m willing to wager that perhaps I just wasn’t in the right mood for the story.

   我为如何评价这本书而感到痛苦。 有些章节非常好，大笑起来很有趣(尤其是在Jeeves和Bertie之间快速来回的取笑)，但是大多数时候这本书似乎一直在拖延。 从对本书(以及沃德豪斯)的压倒性正面评价来看，我愿意打赌，也许我只是对故事情有独钟。

3. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr ⁵⁄₅

   所有的光我们无法看到由安东尼·杜尔^_10/10

   All the Light We Cannot See is a wonderfully written novel following two primary characters—one a young French blind girl named Marie-Laurie and the other a young German boy named Werner—as they struggle through World War II. In particular, the accounts of Werner’s time in Hitler’s Youth were heart-breaking & moving. But don’t let the heart-break turn you away—there is a lot of genuine beauty in this story as well. A wonderful, wonderful book.

   《我们所看不到的所有光》是一部出色的小说，讲述了两个主要人物，一个是年轻的法国盲人女孩，名叫玛丽·劳里(Marie-Laurie)，另一个是年轻的德国男孩，名叫维尔纳(Werner)，当时他们在第二次世界大战中挣扎。 特别是，沃纳(Werner)在《希特勒青年时代》中的经历令人心碎且感动。 但是，不要让伤心欲绝的你离开—在这个故事中，还有很多真正的美。 一本很棒的书。

4. Pressed for Time: The Acceleration of Life in Digital Capitalism by Judy Wajcman ⁴⁄₅

   生活在数字资本主义的加速度：时间紧迫由朱迪·沃杰克曼^{_五分之四}

   This is a really interesting take on the topic of technology and its influence on the widespread feeling of not having enough time in the day. While most books on the topic place the blame directly on the technology itself, Wajcman digs much deeper. Early on, she points out that “temporal demands are not inherent to technology. They are built into our devices by all-too-human schemes and desires.” In other words, to really understand how technology is impacting this feeling of busyness, we need to look beyond the technology itself and see what other factors are contributing.

   这是一个非常有趣的话题，涉及技术及其对一天中没有足够时间的普遍感觉的影响。 尽管有关该主题的大多数书籍都直接将责任归咎于技术本身，但瓦兹曼对此却进行了更深入的研究。 早期，她指出“时间需求不是技术固有的。 它们是通过人类的计划和欲望内置到我们的设备中的。” 换句话说，要真正了解技术如何影响这种忙碌感，我们需要超越技术本身，看看其他因素在起作用。

   While the writing is certainly quite dry (sort of par-the-course for a lot of University-based publishers), the ideas are fresh, nuanced and well thought out. I do think that referring to studies conducted prior to smartphones to establish how people use mobile phones was a little short-sighted. However, in the end I support the conclusion: “busyness is not a function of gadgetry but of the priorities and parameters we ourselves set.”

   尽管写作肯定很枯燥(很多大学出版商都采取了类似的做法)，但这些想法是新鲜的，细微的和经过深思熟虑的。 我确实认为，提到智能手机之前进行的研究来确定人们如何使用手机是有点短视的。 但是，最后，我支持以下结论：“忙碌不是小工具的功能，而是我们自己设定的优先级和参数的功能。”

5. How About Never—Is Never Good for You?: My Life in Cartoons by Bob Mankoff ⁴⁄₅

   如何永不从来都不是适合您？：我的生活在漫画由Bob Mankoff ^{_五分之四}

   While labeled as a “memoir”, Mankoff’s book is actually quite light on the “memoir” side of things. Which is ok by me. Where the book really flourishes is in the discussion of the cartoon process: how the cartoons are created, how they are chosen, etc. In fact, I would have loved to get a little more detail and depth on that side of things. As it is, How About Never is a quick and humorous look at cartoon creation. Mankoff’s writing is very informal and ripe with the kind of humor you would expect from a cartoon editor. Combined with the plethora of cartoons included, it makes for a very fun book to read.

   虽然被称为“回忆录”，但曼科夫的书实际上在事物的“回忆录”方面还是很轻松的。 我没关系。 这本书真正蓬勃发展的地方在于对卡通过程的讨论：如何创建卡通，如何选择卡通等等。事实上，我很想在这方面做更多的细节和深度。 实际上， How About Never是快速而幽默的卡通创作。 曼科夫(Mankoff)的作品非常随意，成熟，充满漫画编辑所希望的幽默感。 结合所包含的大量动画片，它使读起来非常有趣。

6. They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky: The True Story of Three Lost Boys from Sudan by Benjamin Ajak, Benson Deng, Alephonsion Deng & Judy A. Berstein ⁵⁄₅

   他们浇火上我们从天空：三失落的男孩的真实故事从苏丹本杰明Ajak，本森·邓，阿利丰西翁·邓和朱迪A.伯恩斯坦^_10/10

   Unbelievable. What these three boys went through, the courage they showed—it left me speechless on so many occasions. They battled hunger, thirst, lions, hyenas, war, prejudice—and they had to do it day in and day out, year after year. This is a hard book to read, but an important one.

   难以置信的。 这三个男孩经历了什么，他们表现出的勇气，这使我无数次无语。 他们与饥饿，口渴，狮子，鬣狗，战争，偏见作斗争-他们不得不年复一年地日复一日地这样做。 这是一本很难读的书，但很重要。

7. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee ⁴⁄₅

   杀害模仿鸟哈珀李^{_五分之四}

   It’s easy to see why so many people like this book. It’s well-written and the ideas it is trying to get across are important. I mean, when reading this you can’t help but be inspired by Atticus and the principles that guide his decisions.

   不难理解为什么有这么多人喜欢这本书。 它写得很好，它试图传达的想法很重要。 我的意思是，当您阅读本文时，您会不由Atticus及其指导其决策的原则所启发。

   The only criticism I really have is that I feel like the story would have benefited from a bit more…friction, I guess. The characters are all pretty shallow: the good people are really good, the bad are really bad. Perhaps that has to do some with the age of the narrating character. But it feels like, given the important topics discussed, there should have been a bit more depth somehow.

   我唯一真正的批评是，我觉得这个故事会从更多……摩擦中受益。 角色都很肤浅：好人真的很好，坏人真的很坏。 也许这与叙事角色的年代有关。 但是感觉到，鉴于所讨论的重要主题，应该以某种方式更加深入。

   That sounds harsh considering the 4 stars, but that’s only because I’m comparing to the high-praise the book is given and the lofty expectations that go with it. The truth is I did enjoy the book quite a bit—I was just hoping for a little more.

   考虑到4星，这听起来很残酷，但这仅仅是因为我正在与书中给予的高度赞扬以及随之而来的崇高期望进行比较。 事实是，我确实很喜欢这本书-我只是希望多一点。

8. An Unwelcome Quest by Scott Meyer ⁴⁄₅

   不受欢迎的任务由斯科特迈耶^{_五分之四}

   I loved getting to spend a bit more time with some of the other characters in this one—Martin is in more of complementary role. The story got a little bogged down for a couple chapters in the middle and that’s the only thing stopping me from calling this my favorite in the series. So much fun to read!

   我喜欢花更多的时间与这个角色中的其他一些角色相处-马丁扮演着更加互补的角色。 这个故事在中间的几个章节中陷入了一点停顿，这是唯一阻止我将其称为我的最爱的东西。 读起来真有趣！

9. 11/22/63 by Stephen King ⁴⁄₅

   63年11月22日由斯蒂芬金^{_五分之四}

   I haven’t read a lot of Stephen King books. In fact, prior to this one, I’ve only read the Dark Tower series. So I can’t speak to the quality of his books that lie more firmly in the “horror” category. But from what I’ve seen, while King gets his fair share of criticism, the truth is he’s a gifted writer with the ability to paint a story so vividly that you get lost in it. 11/22/63 is a great example. There’s some unnecessary fat in the middle (the book probably could have been about 100-150 pages shorter), but he builds the suspense and intrigue masterfully throughout. It’s an interesting take on time travel and a true page-turner with an ending that you can’t help but be moved by.

   我没有读很多史蒂芬·金的书。 实际上，在此之前，我只读过《 黑暗塔》系列。 因此，我不能说他的书的质量在“恐怖”类别中更牢固。 但是从我所看到的情况来看，尽管金得到了应有的批评，但事实是，他是一位有才华的作家，能够生动生动地描写一个故事，以至于迷失了自己。 63年11月22日就是一个很好的例子。 中间有一些多余的脂肪(这本书可能短了约100-150页)，但他始终精通悬疑和阴谋。 这是一次有趣的时间旅行，是一个真正的翻页者，其结尾让您感动不已。

10. Memoirs of a Muppets Writer: (You Mean Somebody Actually Writes That Stuff?) by Joseph A. Bailey ⁴⁄₅

    一个提线木偶作家回忆录：(你的意思是有人居然写的东西？)由Joseph A.贝利^{_五分之四}

    There is so much to like about this book. I loved all the behind the scenes stories Bailey tells. The insight into the process of writing for the Muppets, Sesame Street and comedy in general are pure gold.

    这本书有很多值得喜欢的地方。 我喜欢Bailey讲的所有幕后故事。 对木偶，芝麻街和喜剧的写作过程的洞察力一般都是纯金。

    The only reason this doesn’t get 5 stars is because of the poor quality of the book itself. The text changes sizes for no reason at all throughout the book. I started reading the paperback but ended up buying the Kindle version to avoid the bizarre text issues. Whoever did the editing also did not do a good job—and I say this as someone who usually doesn’t notice those sorts of things. I hope someone republishes this at some point with a little more attention given to it because the actual substance here is wonderful.

    没有获得5星的唯一原因是因为这本书本身的质量很差。 在整本书中，文本完全没有理由更改大小。 我开始阅读平装本，但最终还是购买了Kindle版本，以避免出现奇怪的文本问题。 进行编辑的人也做得不好–我说这是通常不注意这类事情的人。 我希望有人在某个时候重新发布此内容，并对此给予更多关注，因为此处的实际内容非常棒。

11. How We Got to Now: Six Innovations That Made the Modern World by Steven Johnson ⁴⁄₅

    我们是如何走到现在：六个创新，取得了现代世界由史蒂芬·约翰逊^{_五分之四}

    How We Got to Now builds off the ideas from Johnson’s Where Good Ideas Come From and further hammers home the point that good ideas do not come from lightbulb moments but from what Johnson calls the Hummingbird Effect. For each chapter, Johnson focuses on a different innovation (glass, cold, sound, etc) and shows you how it is connected to innovations you hadn’t considered (from printing press to selfies, for example). If you’re familiar with Johnson’s previous writing you won’t be too surprised by the conclusions here—but you’ll enjoy the winding paths you take to get there.

    我们现在的方式是从约翰逊的《好主意来自何处》中汲取灵感，并进一步敲击这一点，即好主意不是来自灯泡瞬间，而是来自约翰逊所说的蜂鸟效应。 在每一章中，Johnson都专注于不同的创新(玻璃，冷，声音等)，并向您展示了它如何与您从未考虑过的创新(例如，从印刷机到自拍)联系在一起。 如果您熟悉Johnson的先前著作，这里的结论将不会让您感到惊讶-但您会喜欢到达那里的曲折道路。

12. Mixed Nuts: America’s Love Affair with Comedy Teams from Burns and Allen to Belushi and Aykroyd by Lawrence J. Epstein ³⁄₅

    混合坚果：美国的恋情从伯恩斯和艾伦·贝鲁西和艾克罗伊德喜剧团队由劳伦斯·J·爱泼斯坦^{_五分之三}

    Mixed Nuts is itself a bit of a mixed bag. It felt that at times he was overly abstract in those discussions. I also felt like he stretched his own definition of “comedy team” a bit too thin in order to include more contemporary pairings—Cheech & Chong, Belushi & Aykroyd, etc.—that didn’t seem to match the term quite as well. And I do think that the wide breadth of coverage held the book back a bit—he’s at his best detailing the success of acts like Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello and I found myself wishing he didn’t have to move on so quickly. Still, it was interesting to read the progression of the comedic team and how successive acts built upon their predecessors and Epstein provides several sharp insights throughout the book. Flawed, but a decent introduction.

    Mixed Nuts本身就是一堆杂物 。 感觉有时他在这些讨论中过于抽象。 我还感到他为了扩展“喜剧团队”的定义而过于狭thin，以不包括更多现代配对(Cheech和Chong，Belushi和Aykroyd等)，这似乎与该术语也不太匹配。 而且我确实认为，广泛的报道使这本书有些退缩–他在尽力详细描述Laurel＆Hardy和Abbott＆Costello等行为的成功，而我发现自己希望他不必如此Swift地前进。 尽管如此，阅读喜剧团队的进展以及在其前任和爱泼斯坦的基础上如何进行接连的举动在整本书中提供了一些敏锐的见解还是很有趣的。 有缺陷，但介绍得体。

13. The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction by Alan Jacobs ⁴⁄₅

    阅读在牵引的年龄乐趣由Alan Jacobs的^{_五分之四}

    Jacobs’ book is in sharp contrast to many of the “how to read” books that are out there. The idea of a prescriptive list of books you “should read” appalls Jacobs, and he spends a good amount of time arguing for reading based on your whim instead. Ironically, in arguing against many books that tell you how to read, he sort of ends up doing the same—just from a different perspective. But there’s a lot here that gets you thinking—his disdain of reading lists, his arguments that most of us read too fast. That, and the many interesting anecdotes along the way, make it an enjoyable book.

    Jacobs的书与许多现有的“如何阅读”书形成鲜明对比。 雅各布斯(Jacobs)的“应该阅读”的说明性书单的想法使他感到震惊，而他花费大量时间争论是基于您的异想天开。 具有讽刺意味的是，在与许多告诉您如何阅读的书籍争执时，他最终还是做了同样的事情-只是从不同的角度来看。 但是，这里有很多让您思考的地方-他不喜欢阅读清单，他的论点使我们大多数人读得太快。 那，以及沿途许多有趣的轶事，使它成为一本令人愉快的书。

14. Enchanted Objects: Design, Human Desire, and the Internet of Things by David Rose ⁴⁄₅

    附魔对象：设计，人性欲望，物联网由大卫罗斯^{_五分之四}

    Rose’s book is a very clearly organized look at how widespread and cheap computing could impact objects from our everyday lives. Much of his ideas are tied directly back to abilities from science-fiction and fantasy, which does offer an interesting perspective. The book doesn’t quite get into the underlying design principles enough for my taste (it’s aimed at a more general audience I’m guessing) and there are certainly a few gimmicky examples, but overall it does get you thinking about the potential of the “internet of things” in a different light.

    Rose的书非常清晰地组织了一下，它研究了普及和廉价的计算如何影响我们日常生活中的对象。 他的许多想法都直接与科幻和幻想的能力联系在一起，这确实提供了有趣的观点。 本书并没有完全按照我的喜好(可能是针对更多的普通读者)来介绍基本的设计原理，当然还有一些花哨的示例，但总的来说，它确实使您思考了设计的潜力。用不同的眼光看待“物联网”。

15. The Manual Issue 4 ⁵⁄₅

    该手册第4期 ^_10/10

    Another fantastic issue of The Manual with the typical level of high quality writing all in a beautifully put together book.

    《手册》的另一本精彩绝伦的书，是一本精美的书，具有典型的高质量写作水平。

16. The Rebirths of Tao by Wesley Chu ⁵⁄₅

    道的轮回由Wesley储^_10/10

    I loved this series so much! As with the first two books, there’s plenty of laugh-out-loud moments somehow mixing perfectly with tense action. Seeing the dynamics shaken up a bit after the end of book two brought a new level of depth to the characters—in fact, this may be the author’s finest work in terms of character development in the series.

    我非常喜欢这个系列！ 与前两本书一样，有很多大声的笑声与紧张的动作完美地融合在一起。 在第二本书的结尾处看到动态变化后，人物有了一个新的深度-实际上，这可能是该系列中作者最出色的作品。

    I’ve heard he’s working on another trilogy with new characters but set in the same universe—I cannot wait!

    我听说他正在为另一个三部曲制作新角色，但设定在同一个宇宙中-我等不及了！

17. Free to Learn: Why Unleasing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life by Peter Gray ⁴⁄₅

    自由地学习：为什么Unleasing本能玩将使我们的孩子更快乐，更加自立，更好地帮助学生生活由彼得·格雷^{_五分之四}

    I’ll openly admit I picked up this book looking for evidence for things I already believed. Gray’s book fit the bill very well. He doesn’t just think compulsory schooling—full of worksheets and testing—is ineffective, he builds a case that it is actively harmful and can’t hold a candle to the way we learn naturally: through play.

    我会公开承认我拿起这本书来寻找我已经相信的东西的证据。 格雷的书非常合适。 他不仅认为义务教育(包括大量的工作表和测试)是无效的，他还提出了一个理由，即这种行为是积极有害的，不能对我们通过游戏进行自然学习的方式产生影响。

    In the early chapters, he builds the case extremely well. He provides the data, provides a counter point, and then the data to dismiss the counterpoint. Unfortunately a few of the later chapters aren’t quite as thorough and rely a little more on anecdotal evidence. Still, I can’t imagine anyone coming away from this book unconvinced that one of the best things we can do to improve the state of education today is move away from our current model and allow kids more time to play and experiment so that they don’t just learn better, but develop a love of doing so.

    在早期的章节中，他非常精通该案例。 他提供了数据，提供了对点，然后将数据消除了对点。 不幸的是，后面的几章并不那么透彻，而是更多地依靠轶事证据。 不过，我无法想象有人从本书中脱颖而出，说不出我们可以改善当今教育状况的最好方法之一就是摆脱目前的模式，让孩子们有更多的时间玩耍和试验，以便他们做不仅学习得更好，而且还喜欢这样做。

18. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky ⁵⁄₅

    罪与罚由陀陀^_5分之5

    Everyone talks about this book so I figured it was about time I give it a read. True to what I had heard, it’s a fabulous book. I am still not sure how Dostoyevsky made such a cruel main character also somehow sympathetic, but he does just that. As is the case with many of the great novels, Crime and Punishment is a rich book with many pauses in the main narrative for philosophical and historical discussions. Some may not enjoy the slower pace, but I find the side discussions fascinating—they add so much more nuance to our understanding of the characters and how they think. I highly suspect that this is one of those books that you can read over and over, picking up new details each time.

    每个人都在谈论这本书，所以我认为是时候读一本书了。 按照我所听到的，这是一本神话般的书。 我仍不确定陀思妥耶夫斯基如何使这样残酷的主角也有所同情，但他只是这样做。 与许多伟大的小说一样，《 犯罪与惩罚》是一本丰富的书，在哲学和历史讨论的主要叙述中有许多停顿之处。 有些人可能不喜欢放慢脚步，但我发现旁边的讨论很有趣，它们使我们对角色及其思维方式的理解更加细微。 我高度怀疑这是您可以一遍又一遍阅读的书籍之一，每次都会获取新的细节。

19. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro ⁵⁄₅

    永远不要让我走的石黑一雄^_10/10

    Beautiful and haunting story that has a lot more to say than you realize at first glance.

    美丽而令人难以忘怀的故事比您乍一看要讲的要多得多。

20. Apex by Ramez Naam ⁴⁄₅

    顶点由拉梅斯·纳姆^{_五分之四}

    A solid finish for a very solid and thought-provoking trilogy. I think Naam’s writing improved as the series went on, though at times book #3 felt a little too sprawling—like there were too many bit characters in play to keep straight.

    坚实而完美的发人深省的三部曲。 我认为，随着系列的进行，Naam的写作水平得到了提高，尽管有时第三本书感觉有些过于宽泛-就像游戏中有太多位字符无法保持笔直。

    Still, as was the case with the first two books, Apex forces you to consider the vast implications of pervasive technology that is not as far off as we may think (which was once again backed by a chapter at the end where Naam discusses the real-life technology influencing the book).

    仍然，就像前两本书一样， Apex迫使您考虑普遍存在的技术的广泛含义，这些含义远没有我们想象的那么远(Naam在最后一章再次讨论了真正的技术生活技术影响这本书)。

21. Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry by Jacquie McNish & Sean Silcoff ⁴⁄₅

    丢失信号：无限的故事的临时上升和黑莓的壮观落后通过与Jacquie麦克尼什＆肖恩Silcoff ^{_五分之四}

    RIM is one of the most infamous stories in tech: a company that rose to the very top only to get so stuck in their current vision that they couldn’t see the changes happening around them that would lead to their demise. This is a well-written and engaging account of the rise and fall of RIM and makes for a very nice starting point for understanding what mistakes were made and more importantly, why.

    RIM是科技界最臭名昭著的故事之一：一家升至首位的公司只是陷于目前的视野，以至于他们看不到周围发生的变化会导致其灭亡。 这是有关RIM兴衰的写得很好并且引人入胜的说明，它为了解什么是错误，更重要的是为什么提供了一个很好的起点。

22. Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron by Jasper Fforde ⁵⁄₅

    灰色的差别：通往高级藏红花由贾斯珀·福德^_10/10

    Shades of Grey takes a little bit to get going. Fforde carefully and meticulously builds up this world and the characters in it. But man, the pay-off is SO worth it. The more you learn about the world, the more you get sucked into it. The writing is great, the story is compelling, the characters are vividly brought to life and the world is completely unique. My only disappointment was in finding that book 2 is not out yet (and it’s been 6 years)! Can’t wait to see how the rest of the story plays out.

    灰色阴影需要一点点才能走。 弗福德精心打造了这个世界以及其中的人物。 但是，老兄，回报是值得的。 您对世界的了解越多，对世界的了解就越多。 文字很棒，故事引人入胜，人物栩栩如生，世界完全独特。 我唯一的失望是发现第二本书还没有发行(已经有6年了)！ 等不及要看故事的其余部分了。

23. Time Salvager by Wesley Chu ³⁄₅

    时间打捞由Wesley储^{_五分之三}

    The plot often felt a little too familiar—like I had been through many of these same sorts of scenes and situations before. Yet I still ended up enjoying it a bit. That I did is a testament to Chu who is very good at mixing action and fun. It’s not nearly as strong as his Tao books, but the potential is there for it to take off in the second book.

    剧情常常让人觉得有点太熟悉了-就像我以前经历过许多这类场景和情况一样。 但是我还是最终享受了一下。 我所做的一切，都很好地证明了楚楚雄，他擅长将动作与娱乐融为一体。 它的强度不如他的《陶氏》书强，但有潜力在第二本书中脱颖而出。

24. Speak by Louisa Hall ³⁄₅

    讲路易莎厅^{_五分之三}

    Speak starts off strong and the concept has a ton of potential, but it ended up falling a little short. The writing is pretty solid, but I don’t think the various narratives worked together as well as they could have. It felt like there was something important to be said here but the book never quite got around to saying it.

    Speak的起点很强，这个概念具有很大的潜力，但最终却略有不足。 文字写得很扎实，但是我认为各种各样的叙述并没有尽力而为。 感觉好像在这里要说些重要的事情，但是这本书从来没有说过。

25. How Music Got Free: The End of an Industry, the Turn of the Century, and the Patient Zero of Piracy by Stephen Witt ⁵⁄₅

    如何音乐得到了自由：一个行业的终结，在世纪之交，和盗版的零号病人由斯蒂芬·维特^_10/10

    Thoroughly enjoyed this! Witt weaves the story of three central figures—the creators of the MP3, one of the most well-known and successful music executives and one of the most prolific “leakers”—together to create a fascinating look at digital music (and piracy) revolutionized the music industry.

    彻底喜欢这个！ Witt编织了三个主要人物的故事-MP3的创建者，最著名和最成功的音乐主管之一，最有产的“同业”之一-共同为革命性的数字音乐(和盗版)创造了迷人的外观音乐产业。

26. Impro by Keith Johnstone ⁴⁄₅

    即兴由Keith斯通^{_五分之四}

    Impro is not just a solid introduction to improvisation, but an important look at how current educational systems tend to drive away creativity and what we can do to bring it back. The chapter on Masks felt a bit….odd…at times, and parts of the book drag a little, but there’s plenty of food for thought here.

    Impro不仅是即兴创作的坚实介绍，而且还着眼于当前的教育体系如何趋向于摆脱创造力，以及我们可以做些什么来带回创造力。 关于“面具”的一章有时会感到……有些奇怪……这本书的某些部分有些拖累，但是这里有很多值得深思的地方。

27. So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed by Jon Ronson ⁵⁄₅

    所以，你已经被公开羞辱由Jon Ronson的^_10/10

    I admit that there’s some confirmation bias at play here: I’ve increasingly felt like we are so quick to raise our online pitchforks without stopping to consider what the possible outcome might be. In fact, if I had my way, before you signed up for any social media site you would be required to read this book. Ronson’s style of writing makes you feel like you’re taking the journey right alongside of him as he moves from idea to idea, trying to make sense of shaming and it’s merits and risks. I’m not 100% sold on all the conclusions, but his take is always well articulated and gets you thinking more critically about how you interact with others online.

    我承认这里存在一些确认偏差：我越来越觉得我们在提高在线干草叉的速度如此之快，而没有停止考虑可能的结果。 实际上，如果我愿意的话，在您注册任何社交媒体网站之前，您都需要阅读这本书。 罗森(Ronson)的写作风格使您感觉自己正与他并肩前进，因为他从一个想法转移到另一个想法，试图使自己感到羞耻，这是优点和风险。 我并不是所有结论都百分百地售出，但是他的观点总是很清楚，让您更加认真地思考如何与他人在线互动。

    I also appreciated Jon’s ability to look himself in the mirror and acknowledge his own faults, as well as his own privileges that lessen (though not eliminate) the risk of experiencing the same degree of shaming experienced by some in the book.

    我还赞赏乔恩(Jon)照镜子并承认自己的缺点的能力，以及他自己的特权，这些特权减轻了(尽管不能消除)书中某些人遭受相同程度的羞辱的风险。

    I’d love to read a follow-up that dovetails off some of the ideas expressed in the final chapter about feedback loops and the echo chambers created by social media, as I feel like that is key to understanding why we interact the way we do on Twitter, Facebook and their kin.

    我很乐意阅读一个后续文章，该文章与上一章中有关社交媒体创建的反馈回路和回声室的最后一章中表达的一些想法相吻合，因为我觉得那是理解我们为什么以交互方式进行交互的关键在Twitter，Facebook及其亲戚上。

    One note: the book gets a little intense and explicit at parts so if that’s not something your comfortable with, you may want to find another take on the topic.

    需要注意的是：这本书在各个部分上都显得有些紧张和明确，因此，如果您不满意该书，则可能需要就该主题找到另一种看法。

28. Mindwise by Nicholas Epley ⁴⁄₅

    Mindwise由Nicholas爱普雷解释^{_五分之四}

    This was a humbling book to read. Epley walks through all the ways we “think” we understand where others are coming from when in reality we understand very little. The research mentioned is a bit light in parts, but overall Mindwise does a great job of discussing a very important topic.

    这是一本令人沮丧的书。 Epley讲述了我们“认为”我们了解他人来自何处的所有方式，而实际上我们了解得很少。 提到的研究在某些方面有些不足 ，但总体而言， Mindwise在讨论一个非常重要的主题方面做得很好。

29. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope by William Kamkwamba & Bryan Mealer ⁴⁄₅

    男孩因在驾驭风：电力和希望的创建电流由威廉·卡玛夸文巴和布赖恩Mealer ^{_五分之四}

    This simply written book provides a fascinating account of not just one boy’s curiousity and drive, but also of what it’s like to grow up in a small African village (which actually is what the majority of the first half of the book is about). Well worth a read.

    这本书写得很简单，不仅讲述了一个男孩的好奇心和冲动，而且还讲述了他在一个非洲小村庄长大的感觉(这实际上是本书前半部分的内容)。 非常值得一读。

30. Curious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends On It by Ian Leslie ⁴⁄₅

    好奇：渴望了解和为什么你的未来取决于它由伊恩·莱斯利^{_五分之四}

    Leslie breaks curiosity down into two forms: diversive (shallow; Googling the capital of Australia) and epistemic (deeper; reading books about Australia’s history and economy). His book focuses on epistemic curiosity: why it matters and what we can do better to encourage it. I found Leslie’s analysis to be pretty nuanced and I loved how curiosity wasn’t framed so much as a trait of a person, but instead as a choice. Though I don’t agree with all of his conclusions, especially some of those around education, Curious works as a good overview of the topic of curiosity with plenty of recommendations for where to dig deeper.

    莱斯利将好奇心分为两种形式：分散的(浅的；谷歌搜索澳大利亚的首都)和认知的(更深的；阅读有关澳大利亚历史和经济的书籍)。 他的书着重于好奇心：为什么重要，以及我们可以做些什么来鼓励它。 我发现Leslie的分析非常细微，我喜欢好奇心不是作为一个人的特质而是作为一种选择。 尽管我不同意他的所有结论，尤其是关于教育的一些结论，但Curious很好地概述了好奇心主题，并提供了许多深入探讨的建议。

31. Building a Device Lab by Destiny Montague and Lara Hogan ⁵⁄₅

    生成设备实验室的命运蒙塔古和Lara霍根^_10/10

    Full review here. The short version: Lara and Destiny give wrote a wonderful little guide to setting up a device lab that is equally good for companies of all sizes. They walk through everything you could possibly want to know and more.

    完整评论在这里。 简短的版本：Lara和Destiny Give撰写了一份精彩的小指南，介绍了建立设备实验室的指南，该指南对各种规模的公司同样有用。 他们遍历了您可能想知道的所有内容以及更多内容。

32. Little Rice: Smartphones, Xiamoi, and The Chinese Dream by Clay Shirky ³⁄₅

    小米粥：智能手机，Xiamoi和中国梦的克莱·舍基^{_五分之三}

    I typically really enjoy Shirky’s writing, but this one was a little subpar. While the topic itself is fascinating, it felt like Shirky kind of threw this one together a little too quickly—the connections between the main topic and his tangents were tenuous. There are a few interesting tidbits scattered throughout, but overall the discussion felt a bit shallow.

    我通常真的很喜欢Shirky的作品，但是这个作品有些逊色。 尽管主题本身很有趣，但感觉像Shirky有点太快地把这个主题放在一起了-主要主题和他的切线之间的联系很微弱。 到处散布着一些有趣的花絮，但总体而言，讨论有些浅。

33. Using WebPageTest by Rick Viscomi, Andy Davies & Marcel Duran ⁵⁄₅

    使用WebPageTest里克Viscomi，安迪·戴维斯和马塞尔·杜兰^_10/10

    Full review here. The short version: With all the power WebPageTest provides, there was a huge need for a comprehensive guide to getting the most out of it. Now we have one—a very good one at that. No matter how much (or how little) you think you know about WebPageTest, you’ll walk away from this book with a few new tricks up your sleeve.

    完整评论在这里。 简短版：借助WebPageTest提供的所有功能，迫切需要一个全面的指南以充分利用它。 现在，我们有一个—很好的一个。 无论您对WebPageTest知道多少(或更少)，都可以通过掌握一些新技巧来摆脱本书。

34. Adaptive Web Design, 2nd Edition by Aaron Gustafson ⁵⁄₅

    自适应网页设计，第二版由亚伦·古斯塔夫森^_10/10

    Full review here. The short version: Adaptive Web Design should be one of the first books on the shelf of anyone building for the web. Showing a deep understanding of the web, Aaron manages to cram nearly 20 years of insight into a book that is an absolute pleasure to read. I dare you to try and read this book without a highlighter handy.

    完整评论在这里。 简短的版本： Adaptive Web Design应该是任何为Web构建建筑物的人中最早的书籍之一。 显示了对网络的深刻理解，Aaron设法将近20年的洞察力塞进了一本书，这绝对是一种阅读的乐趣。 我不敢尝试不使用荧光笔就能阅读这本书。

35. Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey ⁴⁄₅

    信标23由休豪伊^{_五分之四}

    Another solid book from Hugh Howey, though I do think it falls a little short of the lofty bar set by Wool and Sand. Still, a gripping story of a man battling to maintain sanity while also having to make moral and ethical decisions with very serious consequences.

    休·豪威(Hugh Howey)的另一本可靠的书，尽管我确实认为，这本书与《 羊毛》和《 桑德》设定的崇高标准有些差距 。 尽管如此，这是一个令人震惊的故事，讲述一个人为保持理智而斗争，还必须做出道德和道德决定，并产生非常严重的后果。

36. Going Responsive by Karen McGrane ⁵⁄₅

    去响应由Karen McGrane ^_10/10

    Full review here. The short version: Karen’s book isn’t going to get super technical—she’s approaching the topics from a higher level which means the audience of people who would benefit from reading this is pretty broad. Going Responsive needs to be read by anyone planning to build a responsive site—designers, developers and (perhaps especially) management.

    完整评论在这里。 简短的版本：卡伦的书不会具有超强的技术性-她正在从更高层次上探讨主题，这意味着从中受益的读者非常广泛。 去响应需求被任何规划读取打造一个负责任的网站设计师，开发商和(或许特别是)管理。

37. Designing for Touch by Josh Clark ⁵⁄₅

    设计为触摸乔希·克拉克^_10/10

    Full review here. The short version: I love how Josh weaves seamlessly back and forth between the why and the how: here’s why this is the case, now here’s a practical way for you to design based on that knowledge. The book ends up being a mini-master class about designing for touch and gestures.

    完整评论在这里。 简短版：我喜欢Josh如何在“为什么”和“如何”之间无缝地来回编织：这就是这种情况，现在这是您基于该知识进行设计的实用方法。 该书最终成为有关触摸和手势设计的微型大师班。

38. Responsive Design: Patterns & Principles by Ethan Marcotte ⁵⁄₅

    响应式设计：模式与原则通过伊森马科特/ ^₅

    Full review here. The short version: When I grow up, I want to write as well as Ethan does. His style of writing is just so pleasant: conversational, informative and entertaining. He also, as it turns out, knows a little bit about this whole responsive design thing. Ethan’s pulls from a ton of experience to write an extremely useful book.

    完整评论在这里。 简短的版本：长大后，我想和Ethan一样写。 他的写作风格是如此令人愉悦：对话，内容丰富且有趣。 事实证明，他还对整个响应式设计有所了解。 伊桑(Ethan)从大量的经验中汲取了宝贵的经验。

39. Ancillary Mercy by Ann Leckie ⁴⁄₅

    辅助慈善由安莱基^{_五分之四}

    A satisfying conclusion to what was a really solid trilogy. The pace picks up here after the slower second book and I found I had a hard time putting the book down. My only critique is that the final conflict felt a tad anti-climatic after such a great build-up. If you like the Ancillary series, you’ll enjoy this finale as well as it has all the same things that have made the other books so good: great dialogue, smart writing, and plenty of tea.

    一个真正扎实的三部曲的令人满意的结论。 第二本书放慢后，这里的节奏加快了，我发现放下这本书很难。 我唯一的批评是，经过如此大的积累，最终的冲突感觉到了一点反气候。 如果您喜欢辅助系列，那么您将享受这一结局，并且它具有使其他书籍如此出色的所有相同方面：出色的对话，精巧的写作和大量的茶饮。

40. The Most Human Human: What Talking with Computers Teaches Us About What It Means to Be Alive by Brian Christian ⁴⁄₅

    最有人情味，人：说话什么用计算机教我们意味着什么是活着布赖恩基督教^{_五分之四}

    Once a year, a bunch of people get together to judge a bunch of chatterbots on their ability to pass the Turing test. The judges talk a mix of bots and real people and try to figure out who is who. One of the awards handed out is for the “Most Human Human”—the person who was most easily identifiable as a human being based on their chats. Christian sets out to win that prize in 2009, and the result is this thought provoking book about the way we reason, the way we communicate and the complexities of language.

    每年一次，一群人聚在一起，以判断一群聊天机器人是否能够通过图灵测试。 评委们将机器人和真实的人混为一谈，并试图找出谁是谁。 颁发的奖项之一是“最人类的人”，即最容易根据他们的聊天被识别为人的人。 克里斯蒂安(Christian)计划在2009年获得该奖项，其结果是这本令人发人深省的书，讲述了我们的推理方式，沟通方式以及语言的复杂性。

    The book is a few years old so some of the bots he praises seem quite poor, but that’s really secondary to the more interesting philosophical discussion to be had here (as well as a nice little anecdote around why those who think philosophy is useless are already philosophizing).

    这本书已有数年历史，所以他赞扬的一些机器人似乎还很差劲，但这确实是次要的有趣的哲学讨论的次要内容(以及关于为什么那些认为哲学无用的人的趣闻轶事已经很不错了)哲学的)。

41. Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey ⁵⁄₅

    利维坦尾流由詹姆斯·科里SA / ^₅

    Leviathan Wakes is one heck of a fun read. Corey avoids most of the faults that frequently bog down long, space-opera novels to create a book that’s a page turner from start to finish. He doesn’t beat you over the head with the science, but instead puts more focus on creating characters you care about. The result is a fast-paced novel that is part science-fiction, part detective story. It’s the first in a long series of books, so if you’re afraid of long-term commitment, you may want to look elsewhere.

    Leviathan Wakes是一本有趣的书。 科里避免了大多数错误，这些错误经常使冗长的太空歌剧小说陷入困境，从而创建了一本从头到尾都是翻页机的书。 他并没有在科学上打败您，而是将更多精力放在创建您关心的角色上。 结果是一部快节奏的小说，既是科幻小说，又是侦探小说。 这是一本长篇系列丛书中的第一本，因此，如果您担心长期的承诺，您可能希望在其他地方看看。
