书籍简介
刊登在《纽约时报杂志》,在即将到来的PBS纪录片系列:令人惊讶的和重要的故事,人类如何获得相当于一个额外的生命,从现在的我们是如何的畅销书作家和好的想法从何而来我们作为一个物种已经翻了一倍的预期寿命仅为一百年。现代生活的一切进步——医学的突破、公共卫生机构的设立、生活水平的提高——平均使我们每人多出大约两万个工作日。人类进步的指标中，没有什么比寿命的延长更令人吃惊的了。这本书是史蒂文·约翰逊试图理解这种进步的来源。这些额外的两万天中有多少来自疫苗，饥荒的减少，或者安全带?是什么力量让我们活得更长?在每一个突破背后，都有一个令人鼓舞的合作创新故事，由强大的公众支持体系和协作网络支撑的杰出思想家。但仅仅提醒自己进步是可能的是不够的。当我们的公共卫生系统面临前所未有的挑战时，我们如何避免预期寿命的减少?我们在某种程度上忽略了哪些可以减少未来危机影响的当前技术或干预措施?一项关于有意义的改变如何在社会中发生的研究，Extra Life是对共同目标和公共资源的持久力量的颂歌。在过去的几个世纪里，我们所经历的最根本的进步并不是来自大公司或初创企业。相反，它来自争取改革的积极分子;来自大学和公共资助的科学家以开源的方式分享他们的发现;以及在世界各地传播新创新的非营利机构。
As featured in The New York Times Magazine, and on an upcoming PBS documentary series: the surprising and important story of how humans gained what amounts to an extra life, from the bestselling author of How We Got to Now and Where Good Ideas Come From As a species we have doubled our life expectancy in just one hundred years. All the advances of modern life--the medical breakthroughs, the public health institutions, the rising standards of living--have given us each about twenty thousand extra days on average. There are few measures of human progress more astonishing than our increased longevity. This book is Steven Johnson's attempt to understand where that progress came from. How many of those extra twenty thousand days came from vaccines, or the decrease in famines, or seatbelts? What are the forces that now keep us alive longer? Behind each breakthrough lies an inspiring story of cooperative innovation, of brilliant thinkers bolstered by strong systems of public support and collaborative networks. But it is not enough simply to remind ourselves that progress is possible. How do we avoid decreases in life expectancy as our public health systems face unprecedented challenges? What current technologies or interventions that could reduce the impact of future crises are we somehow ignoring? A study in how meaningful change happens in society, Extra Life is an ode to the enduring power of common goals and public resources. The most fundamental progress we have experienced over the past few centuries has not come from big corporations or start-ups. It has come, instead, from activists struggling for reform; from university-based and publicly funded scientists sharing their findings open-source-style; and from nonprofit agencies spreading new innovations around the world.
