Reading Notes on Master Robot

preface

This book is personally regarded as the most popular of Lem’s books, and it is somewhat of a continuation of his later and more famous work, The Planet Solaris. In addition, this book is a bit like the Little Prince, in which two robot masters travel to different planets and encounter various wonderful stories, which are both very interesting and full of meaning…..

In addition, the experience of reading this book is also interesting. After I bought the physical book, I ended up reading…… through the APP on the mobile phone with the ink screen

Finally, I’d like to add that Lam’s book is a bit of a rarity, and I don’t find many reviews online, so I’d like to forgive many of these book notes for their level of personal awkwardness.

Personal assessment

This book is still a thick book, the story of this book is deeply impressed as follows:

  • Electronic poet

  • The king and his invincible enemy

  • Time travel and the Paradox of time

  • Truller’s Happy World Experiment 1. Truller’s Happy World Experiment 2.

  • Reconstructing the world

  • Prince Felix and Princess Glaze

This book tells the story of two trudi and clapper wu hill the amazing story of master robot travels around the planet, they use their own knowledge and to solve the different countries all kinds of special requirements, of course, the book has a similar “mission impossible” design, in the story with the way the story tells the story of some profound truth, For example, the influence of time paradox and parallel universe as well as the changes of history and society caused by time travel are described by using the time shuttle. Meanwhile, the history will not be changed by individual power, but it will cause indelible harm to the lives of historical figures. For example, a man destined to lead the country to overthrow the rule and establish a kingdom was killed repeatedly when he was a baby. However, he was reincarnated to different countries and then continued to be reincarnated. This narrative technique is somewhat similar to the three stories told in the last book of the Three-Body Problem, which is also very interesting. In addition, the book can be regarded as a novel, about the wonderful adventures of the two masters and a variety of fantastic ideas can also be seen lem’s imagination, such as baby cannon, no one can refuse the “police” and other very interesting Settings.

In short, this book may not be as well known as other books, but from a personal point of view, it is a better book to understand the thoughts of the author of the great science fiction.

Electronic poet

Electronic poet in modern actually to now is not a fresh thing, and this article about electronic poet is reflected the relationship between human and artificial intelligence, when the poet is inferior to the human, the human is very willing to poet and electronic games, however, when the electronic poets write poems when he cannot overcome by human, human is evoked, The struggle turned to hatred and even the state administrators ordered Truller to destroy the electronic poet. The final result was that the electronic poet was torn to pieces by Truller and vowed never to make electronic poet again, and the end was also expected. This development always reminds me of matrix =-=.

Modern AI is not uncommon to overcome human things, such as Chinese chess AI when 0 years can already defeated the elite, personally think that the emergence of artificial intelligence is not to defeat the human, but to let the human go a step further, the characteristics of artificial intelligence have a much stronger than people, without any emotional color, It will not be influenced and interfered with by human nature, and of course human development will eventually be controlled by machines.

In my opinion, the future development of artificial intelligence will gradually develop to “coach”. When people of different levels have a slightly better coach to guide them, the cost of education can be reduced and the promotion can be more rapid. However, it is impossible after all, human nature will force human beings to accept human beings and kill foreigners. In the same way that we don’t turn the wheel over to the autopilot.

The extreme of ARTIFICIAL intelligence is likely to develop into the Matrix, which is also a topic worth discussing.

The king and his invincible enemy

The story tells of a rich king who summoned two masters of mechanics, Crispachus and Truller, and asked them to invent an enemy that they could not defeat. If the created enemy was defeated quickly, the result of waiting for the two masters would be death. But if the created enemy killed the king, With the death of the king of the kingdom the two masters of mechanics were killed. Aimed at the problem of “how to choose is dead”, two mechanical master clever made a strange monster, he will release some will kill immediately after the division of the “little monsters”, first to send small blame to attract the king into the trap, wait until after the king into the trap, the release of three police officers in strange posture debut of “uniform”, the king Here is a very interesting statement: Not the planet won’t I was arrested by the police, to the authority in the here very accord with the influence of an influential, personal surprised when look at the author’s wonderful ideas at the same time had no sense of acosmia even very in scope, at last the king was shut in a mysterious space of the building, you can imagine into four dimensions of tibetans set, Through this, the two masters “extorted” a large number of rare treasures from the kingdom, and received the top-level treatment of the meaning of send-off, when seeing this paragraph is also very picture. In short, if you are interested in this book, this story must be missed.

The people of goodness

The person who can’t really feel happiness is not the one who has to touch others’ heads or help others remove stumbling blocks by doing good deeds, but when a person wants to break others’ heads with a stone, his conscience and kindness tell him not to do so. This is kindness and happiness!

This paragraph is extracted from the third part of the book. In this story, Truller tries to simulate a world where everyone is happy and perfect through various experiments. However, just as the manager of the second matrix in the Matrix said: “A perfect human world soon collapse”, appears to be the pursuit of equality, human society is the pursuit of inequality, and then we was a child, my parents always taught us to do a kind person, but we are very superficial think good people are “good”, in fact, for the earth person’s existence is a kind of “sin”, in humans, kindness is refers to the conscience, Kindness refers to people’s suppression of their evil heart and dark side of themselves. Since kindness is only the suppression of evil heart looks very vague, then the standard of happiness is even more vague. The heart is just a lump of meat. Therefore, feeling the brain is not a psychology, but a “dopamine” signal released by the brain to us.

I think the author in this section presents trudi le for the body of “manipulation” in an attempt to build a self-righteous happy kingdom story ironically those who flatter yourself to interfere in other people happiness of the world, just as his status because of the jews by the nazis that destruction of the miserable life of anonymity, but it is because he became a welder and fell in love with robots, This gave him an important influence on his subsequent creation, with a taste of fate.

    

Time travel and the Paradox of time

About this part of the content to see are veiled, contains a lot of speculation about back in time, and through the story discussed an assassin assassination of the king’s choice different the different fate of course, but no matter how to change the fate of basic same, here is a more interesting example, if you leave him now wound, Then go back to the past you are not injured, but with the same wound! This idea is a little different from many backward time comics in the past, which is that the present and the past are inextricably linked, so you change the future as much as you change the past. The book also discusses the time the police that a concept, space and time the police will be responsible for maintaining the order of space and time, but from the point of the content of the book, the abuse of time can cause the collapse of the space and time and irreparable consequences, time and all of the material is different, is a kind of have to spend, nor anything in the shape of a material, the only thing we can do is to cherish and respect the time, In the end, the author warns: do not try to create time or give it any attributes, otherwise it will be endless disaster if it is used by people. Maybe one day in the future, people will have a way to control time.

Of course why would a book about robots talk about space and time? I didn’t understand much after reading it.

    

Reconstructing the world

Reinventing the world is actually an index to the previous section, but here is the book’s “paradise” on time travel.

We add inferiority and flexibility to time, so that time listens only to those who care about it. Flexibility is the foundation of time. Time was no longer as precise as it was in the barracks, and everyone could set the time according to his own preferences and needs. If someone is in a hurry, they can skip from Wednesday to Saturday. If someone had a really good Time on Thursday, they could spend it until they didn’t want to. The space was eliminated because its strict classification was too much of a threat to its inhabitants.

Remaking the World is a story about a king who one day summoned two mechanical masters and asked them to build their own world. Unlike other Kings, the king was widely read but unexpectedly interested in Christian religion, and wanted the two masters to make their own world. The two masters and the king discussed the concept of god’s creation in detail, from democracy and centralization to the relationship between time and space, etc., and finally persuaded the king not to create and make rules in vain. This right would only lead to disaster in the end.

Last discussion of reengineering the world actually is a kind of warning, contempt of space and time only can create his own destruction, we cannot create can’t understand something, only can explain our spirit, from the long story as you can see the author support for the absolute materialism and abandon the psychologism.

Prince Felix and Princess Glaze

This story is a little ridicule this one subject, racial discrimination is white is very popular with the princess, coloured glaze princess wanted to marry whites at the same time, but the princess had never seen a white, then inform the universe princess to marry whites but need to test the white authenticity, however actually white is overstaffed lazy, like war, And rely on every day to eat in the mouth, prince FeiLe we desire and coloured glaze princess married, but he is a robot, so he disguised “body”, “blood”, “lie” and so on humans have emotions, at the end when the princess saw through the true character of the “white” saw FeiLe honest steady and good, the prince finally decided to get married with him.

This is a very short story, but a bit of black humor, of course, as a simple fairy tale to read more interesting.

Write in the last

This nonsense reading notes, look at foreign science fiction for translation requirements are relatively high, this book “reinventing the world” may be difficult to understand, other chapters are easier to read.

Appendix: Excerpts from reading notes

First Expedition (A) : Truller's electronic poet timid master of machine control can see extreme values in unconventional matrices, third Expedition: In order to achieve this goal, the probabilites used nonlinear transformation to create a group of policemen from the beast, because no one dared to disobey the arrest warrant issued by the police, no one in the whole universe dared to do so. 1 Let Truller be Truller, let Clapauchus be Clapauchus. They told stories so absurd as to be impossible, but they embellished them, and described them in every detail. Mr. Krapaouchus calls the tales told by the locals "corrosive stories," because too much of them can lead to confusion and absurd forgetfulness. The thirst for knowledge can be satisfied. Of the innumerable hydrogen atoms in the universe, if the entire universe were made of gold, gold would lose its precious value." The most important thing is to build a filter to pick and filter out the atoms of meaning and value, which is the idea of the second kind of demon. Big, big, big face, do you understand? Because state affairs are not measured in centimeters or kilograms, nor are relationships. In the pursuit of perfection, people will constantly want to improve. A tortured man can only show you the suffering he is suffering. The story of King Gonaron's three story-telling machines I gave this machine wisdom, but I didn't make you one. It is always easier to prove that someone is wrong than to prove that someone is not wrong. You want to know from me what perfection is and how to get it, but you don't understand the profound ideas and educational meaning of stories. You just want to hear interesting stories, that's how you have fun, and you don't want to think about the meaning of stories. Don't try to make your happiness too fast! Don't try to make it perfect at once! If you really can create happiness exists (which I doubt), other species will also continue to exist, it will be 3 who didn't really feel happy, not that one must through touch the head of the others, help others move stumbling block and other way to do good for people, but when a person wants to use a stone to break other people's head, His conscience and good heart told him not to do so, that is good and happy! They find no pleasure where they do as they please. Civilization Sample 2931 is inhabited by Cascadela venting resentment sometimes brings satisfaction. In honor of the Cascadians, Truller named them the "Raiders." The realization of happiness in the unfortunate gazing at their own happiness of course not! You don't have invented me, and I was you, I am not only by the protein composition of man, I am a information trudi, is perfect trudi, is concentrated all the ms, the nature of the perfect, and you just a trapped in the flesh of the slave, you just thought of slaves, in addition to this worthless. Your mistake is that, first of all, you don't know or think about how to do or succeed. Second, creating eternal, universal happiness is a child's trick at all, because then no one needs anything. Your baby survived machine machine is immoral, because it will only to the object acclaim, even to the other people's house of Chinese cabbage and white flour will also be a praise Because there is no ugly in the world of physics, and the points of goodness, no good and bad points, only the material, only exist, so far, no other! Reinventing the world we have added inferiority and flexibility to time, so that time listens only to those who care about it. Flexibility is the foundation of time. Time was no longer as precise as it was in the barracks, and everyone could set the time according to his own preferences and needs. If someone is in a hurry, they can skip from Wednesday to Saturday. If someone had a really good Time on Thursday, they could spend it until they didn't want to. The space was removed because its strict classification was too much of a threat to its inhabitants." Reputation isn't something you can take root in, it's not worth your effort, and it's not something you can aspire to as a lifelong goal or dream. Everyone was actively pointing out their own problems, and my God, when they started criticizing others, they became even more aggressive, brutal, tearing them to shredsCopy the code
