A New History of the Future in 91 Objects

by Adrian Hon

这是一部想象未来又启发现在的脑洞作品。2082年,一位策展人试图通过一系列物品,回顾人类生存的21世纪。一件可以自主收缩和放松的衣服,一粒能让人变得更聪明的药丸,一套警察审讯用的虚拟现实装备……从无声信息系统,到小行星上的人工智能世界,这位策展人为我们呈现了一部21世纪的历史。 本书是作者阿德里安·韩虚构的一个未来世界,基于对现代科技发展的了解和想象,韩描述了未来可能代表21世纪的91件事物,引领读者进入一个想象中的未来,同时也提供一个审视当下的新视角。 21世纪科技的发展,将人前所未有地紧密连接,却也在空间和文化意义上将我们分割成一粒粒散沙。为了让未来有更多的成就、更少的悲剧,人类可能现在就需要思考,21世纪我们该创造什么,又该留下什么。书中描述的是虚构的未来,也是今天我们所面临的恐惧和希望。
