📖 How to Invent Everything

On your trip to the past in your commercially rented, state of the art, FC3000™ time machine, it has unfortunately broken down, but you helpfully find a repair guide. Even more unfortunately, the guide simply states that it is impossible to repair it. However, it offers you an opportunity to rebuild the future, one technology at a time. From creating food supplies and keeping them for a long time to the creation of modern technology, and even summarizing philosophy with a bunch of sentences about high-fives, this guide teaches you step by step on how to recreate your modern experience, how to "invent everything" if you will. I find this book interesting because of its simplicity and concept, of a guide to put yourself back into modern times by yourself. Though this may not serve much of a purpose, it is entertaining and serves as a sort of history of technology. Overall, I recommend this book for its humor and how it explains history.

在你租用乘坐最先进的 FC3000™ 商业用时间机器前往过去的旅途中,不幸的是机器发生了故障。不过幸运的是你找到了维修手册。然而糟糕的是,这本手册却告诉你,该时光机器无法修复。不过,它为你提供了一个机会——通过一步步重建各项技术,重新构建未来。从制作食物和怎样长时间保存,到现代各项技术的创造,乃至用简单的日常行为解释一些各种哲学概念的产生,这本指南会手把手教你如何重新创造出现代生活体验,或者说,是在什么条件下如何"发明一切"的。 我觉得这本书很有趣,因为它的概念和表达都很简单:一本教你如何独自将自己带回现代社会的指南。尽管它可能没有太多实际用途,但它很有趣,也是一种关于技术发展史的呈现。总的来说,我推荐这本书,因为它的幽默感以及对历史的独特解释方式。
