A New York Public Library 2017 Best Books for Teens selected title! It's the start of Jordan Sun's junior year at the Kensington-Blaine Boarding School for the Performing Arts. Unfortunately, she's an Alto 2, which—in the musical theatre world—is sort of like being a vulture in the wild: She has a spot in the ecosystem, but nobody's falling over themselves to express their appreciation. So it's no surprise when she gets shut out of the fall musical for the third year straight. But then the school gets a mass email: A spot has opened up in the Sharpshooters, Kensington's elite a cappella octet. Worshiped … revered … all male. Desperate to prove herself, Jordan auditions in her most convincing drag, and it turns out that Jordan Sun, Tenor 1, is exactly what the Sharps are looking for.技术元素
技术元素(technium)一词是凯文·凯利(KK)专门创造出来的词语。“技术元素不仅仅包括一些具象的技术(例如汽车、雷达和计算机等),它还包括文化、法律、社会机构和所有的智能创造物。”简而言之,技术元素就是从人的意识中涌现出来的一切。KK把这种科技的延伸面看成一个能产生自我动力的整体。KK把对这些疑惑的理解都写在了“技术元素”博客专栏里,他说:“我会将我不成熟的想法、笔记、内心论争、草稿以及对其他文章的回应上传到这儿,这样我就能知道自己到底在想些什么。”《技术元素》一书便是基于此专栏编撰而成。相比于KK之前的著作,本书将更通俗易懂,文章中涉及到的领域、所举的事例都更贴近当下人们的生活体验。
