##Paul Graham是谁？

该怎样介绍Paul Graham这位智者呢？

##黑客与画家

《黑客与画家》，Paul Graham所著，由阮一峰翻译。高质量的原著加上优雅的中译，好评如潮的一本书。之前我在《三十而立，小心忽悠》中的评价如下：

作者试图回答的问题：如何好奇地探索这个世界，做喜欢的事情，并阳光地获取财富？

作者回答得怎么样：非常棒

评价：创业的书，

 或讲究细节，比如如何撰写商务计划书；
 或摆资历，比如我的成功如何复制；
 或讲大道理，用一个术语串起整本书，你不服还不行，比如长尾比如蓝海比如紫牛；
 或写小说，比如如何从小秘到跨国公司CEO；或吹牛，比如全中国最穷小伙子如何发财。

有没有一本，心平气和，不讲细节不摆资历不讲大道理不写小说不吹牛的创业书呢？

有，这就是Paul Graham的文集——《黑客与画家》。

从第一章开始，就会心一笑，找到了自己的影子。不过试图马上寻找到发财之道的读者，可能会失望了。

与其说作者是在谈编程，谈创业，谈商业模式，还不如说作者在回答：如何好奇地探索这个世界，并通过做自己喜欢的事情，阳光地获取财富？

关于Paul Graham的这本书，再多文字的摘用也是一种侮辱。实在没时间的读者，就功利地选择第六章《如何创造财富》与第九章《设计者的品味》入手吧。
