错不在真人,错只在位置。
The fault is not in the human. It is only in the position.

序言 · Preface
在某个角落,一位医生发现,诊断已经由机器先做了,留给她的只剩签字。
在某个角落,一个弯着腰捡汽水罐的老人,连这点活路,也快被一台机器接过去了。
你见过这些。你或许还没说出口。
这本书不是揭露,也不是控诉。这里没有反派。被顶掉的人没有错,造机器的人不是坏人,机器本身也无罪。
错的是位置:工具被放上了真人的位置。
中国古代有一个字:偽(Wěi:人為)。取《荀子》原意:“人為者,偽也。”这世上的文化、经济、政治、法律四大制度,都是人做的。既是人做的,就不是命;人看得懂,也修得好。
这本书刚落笔时,什么都没有,只有一份想看清楚的心。如今书已成,七卷齐备,中英文两版都已立起。它依然不替你下判决,只把每一种制度的位置,一一摆出来。
你是判官。
前三次工业革命,都是大战打完、血流干了,才回头调整制度。
这一次,还来得及。
但不能等。
准备好了,就翻开下一页吧。
What is wrong is the position: a tool has been set in the real human's place.
There is an ancient Chinese character for this: Wei (偽: human-made). In the spirit of Xunzi: "What is human-made is Wei." The four great institutions of this world (culture, economy, politics, and law) are all made by people. Since people made them, they are not fate; people can understand them, and people can repair them.
When this book began, it had nothing but a wish to see clearly. Today the book is finished: seven volumes, in both Chinese and English. It still does not pass judgment for you. It only sets out the position of each institution, one by one.
You are the judge.
In each of the first three industrial revolutions, the institutions were adjusted only after the great war was fought and the blood had run dry.
This time, there is still time.
But it cannot wait.
