Do entrepreneurs need an office? Increasingly the view seems to be no. 企业家需要办公室吗?答案似乎越来越倾向于不需要。 A nifty new book called Out of Office by Chris Ward, is a manifesto in favour of roaming around using temporary hotspots to work. It was hard for me to resist this freelancer's manual: the inside cover features a picture of one of my Gail's bakeries. 克里斯•沃德(Chris Ward)在其精彩的新书《不在办公室工作》(Out of Office)中，提倡利用临时的无线热点网络工作。我很难抵制这本“自由职业者操作手册”的诱惑：封二有一幅我的Gail's面包店的图片。 The author explains how President Barack Obama's first inauguration speech was written by 27-year-old Jon Favreau sitting in Starbucks; how Richard Tait, creator of Cranium, started the board game in a coffee shop; how Michael Acton Smith invented the children's virtual world Moshi Monsters in his local Caffè Nero; and how JK Rowling, the novelist behind Harry Potter, believes a café is the best place to write. 作者描述了美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama)的首次就职演讲如何由27岁的乔恩•法夫罗(Jon Favreau)坐在星巴克(Starbucks)里写就;《脑力大作战》(Cranium)创作者理查德•泰特(Richard Tait)如何在一家咖啡馆里开始创作这个棋盘游戏;迈克尔•阿克顿•史密斯(Michael Acton Smith)如何在当地的Caffè Nero咖啡馆发明儿童的虚拟世界Moshi Monsters;以及《哈利•波特》(Harry Potter)的作者J•K•罗琳(JK Rowling)如何相信咖啡馆是写作的最佳场所。 |
