卡欽斯基:論工業社會及其未來 大學炸彈客泰德.卡辛斯基1995年發表的《論工業社會及其未來》英中對照全文。中文譯文基於1996年中國文史出版社《轟炸文明——發往人類未來的死亡通知單》,原譯者王小東。 INTRODUCTION 介紹 The Industrial Revolution and itsconsequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatlyincreased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced"countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling,have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespreadpsychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) andhave inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development oftechnology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings togreater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it willprobably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and itmay lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced"countries. 1 工業革命及其後果為人類帶來了極大的災難。這兩者極大地增加了我們這些生活在“發達”國家的人口的預期壽命,但也破壞了社會的穩定性,令生活空虛無謂,剝奪了人類的尊嚴
