Закончил «Город и звёзды» Артура Кларка. Книга 1956 года на минуточку! И первое длинное произведение Кларка, которое я прочитал.
Обычно для того, чтобы случился сюжет, нужен конфликт. Здесь же в некотором смысле конфликтом является отсутствие конфликтов.
Сверхдалёкое будущее — миллиард лет вперёд от нашего времени. Земля давно превратилась в безжизненную пустыню, но остался один последний город, накрытый куполом и полностью поддерживающий сам себя. Город является гигантским искусственным интеллектом, способным управлять материей на атомном уровне, за счёт чего никакие вещи и здания в нём никогда не изнашиваются, автор описывает его буквально как застывший во времени. С помощью этой же технологии у людей решены абсолютно все проблемы: любой требуемый предмет мгновенно материализуется мысленной командой компьютеру, тела людей почти не стареют, не болеют, все возможные травмы излечиваются.
Любопытно решена проблема бессмертия. Человеческий разум не справляется с памятью дольше определённой длины, поэтому при достижении тысячелетнего возраста каждый человек редактирует свои воспоминания, отмечая, что в своей личности он хотел бы оставить, а что убрать. После чего его сознание — уже с правками — помещается в память компьютера. И в произвольный момент в будущем будет создано новое молодое тело с этим сознанием, которое тоже проживёт 1000 лет. В памяти компьютера находятся сотни миллионов людей, но в городе одновременно живут около 10млн, и компьютер сам решает, кого и когда воскресить. Таким образом, в любой момент времени в городе живёт подмножество одних и тех же людей.
Под куполом вечное лето и вечный день (люди больше не спят, это стало не нужно), нет никакой необходимости выполнять какую-то работу или выживать. Поэтому с нашей точки зрения жизнь местных удивительно скучна. Они столетиями развлекаются и играют в видеоигры — при этом разум человека погружается в аналог Матрицы, виртуальный мир с полной передачей всех ощущений, и ещё дополнительно в сознании блокируются участки памяти таким образом, чтобы ты частично осознавал себя настоящим персонажем игры. Деторождение тоже не нужно и давно утеряно. Семьи есть только условно — одни люди помогают другим, только что воскрешённым, постепенно пробуждать воспоминания из своей предыдущей жизни. Секс остался как что-то второстепенное, наряду с тысячами других видов досуга.
Роман очень хорошо показывает, что иметь решение какой-то проблемы может быть хуже, чем не иметь. И вообще, наша жизнь во многом состоит в борьбе, преодолении, расширении границ познания и исследовании. Именно это делает её интересной, обладающей смыслом, а полное отсутствие такого смысла выглядит как смерть, даже при формально живом теле, продолжающем вести деятельность.
Книга местами затянута, а некоторые повешенные на стены ружья так и не выстрелили. Но всё равно я получил изрядную долю удовольствия и новых размышлений, так что любителям фантастики рекомендую.

IELTS BAND8.5+ #Schedule
✅A - READING!
Make sure that you spend at least 1 hour a day on the following (don’t forget to record vocab, underline useful collocations, copy them into your vocab book... if you have one):
✅ B - WATCHING
Don't watch your content passively with the video/radio etc. playing in the background. You need to listen attentively since you'll need to do the same in the exam. Train your ear at an early stage and make life easier for yourself down the line. Oh, and if watching something.... subtitles OFF! 1 hour a day, too.
📆 MONDAY
📖National Geographic: select THEMES and randomly read an article whether science, travel, adventure, animals etc.
💻Documentary: think about what you might have read and type the theme into YouTube
📆 TUESDAY
📖Time Magazine: click the box top left next to TIME and randomly read an article whether politics, business, tech, health etc.
💻YouTube Videos: I have put together a number of YouTube channels I enjoy in a post.
📆WEDNESDAY
📖 The Guardian: Randomly select different themes and select an article at random to read
💻BBC World service is a good one. Loads of different themes for background listening: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_world_serv..
📆THURSDAY
📖Scientific American : randomly select a news article to read.
💻 Documentary: Curiosity Stream is a good one, but it's a paid website.
📆FRIDAY (Entertainment)
📖 Continue reading a book of your choice PROVIDING it’s not a classic (continue with that after your course)
💻 Watch a film of your choice but still have pen and paper ready! Subtitles off!!!
📆SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS
Focus on doing your grammar and vocab exercises, practice tests as well as go over the vocab and things you have recorded during the week. Use the weekend to write your essays.
My guidelines:
📌 It doesn't matter if you're interested in the themes or not. In the exam you don't have a choice. So stop being selective. Move beyond Friends and The Big Bang Theory.
📌 Record "chunks of language". Once you've done the article or video, summarize it out aloud recycling that language you have just jotted down. Maybe even write a small summary.
📌 Less is more! Do one article or video a day. That's enough. Better do one, learn and recycle the language rather than watch/read too many and remember nothing.

On any platform, when we want to do something #asynchronously, it usually involves an #event loop. An event loop is a loop that can register #tasks to be executed, execute them, delay or even cancel them and handle different events related to these operations. Generally, we #schedule multiple async functions to the event loop. The loop runs one function, while that function waits for #IO, it pauses it and runs another. When the first function completes IO, it is resumed. Thus two or more functions can #co_operatively run together. This the main goal of an event loop.
