2014 in Haste is an annual themed e-book launched by "Everyone," the self-media platform under Tencent, edited by Jia Jia and published by CITIC Press in 2014 as an e-book. It has no single author but gathers many columnists and scholars who write for the platform. Around 2013 Tencent launched "Everyone" as a self-media product, bringing together scholars, journalists and writers from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan and the wider global Chinese-language world, with long-form commentary and intellectual essays as its signature. From 2014 the platform began collecting its articles into themed volumes, the "Tencent Everyone" e-book series published in partnership with CITIC Press; this book is the one that looks back on 2014. It is a yearly record, not a systematic monograph and not fiction. The book revolves around the public events and cultural phenomena of 2014: the Malaysia Airlines disasters, the smog problem, the entertainment industry's "prison storm," the nationwide hit Little Apple, the Brazil World Cup, the square-dancing controversy, the debate over same-sex marriage, and the writers and filmmakers who died that year, among them García Márquez, Junichi Watanabe and Ken Takakura. The editor hopes to leave a set of side-on observations and annotations of this "eventful year," so that readers looking back later can still see the public-opinion scene and the ways of thinking of the time. Its value lies more in being a "slice of the era": many of the essays come from commentators active on the front lines of public writing that year, so the book works both as a retrospective on the year's public discourse and as a sample for understanding the atmosphere of Chinese internet discussion in 2014. Note that this is an electronic publication of limited length, and some pieces are clearly topical commentary; read after the passage of time, they require readers to reconstruct the context for themselves.
2014年是很“满”的一年：全球范围的空难频发，国内雾霾成为日常话题，娱乐圈接连有人因涉案入狱，《小苹果》从五月起席卷街头，巴西世界杯贯穿整个夏天，广场舞争议与同性婚姻讨论也轮番登上热搜。腾讯“大家”这一年做的，就是把这些同时涌来的事件一条条拆开、慢慢讲。 《匆匆2014》把这些长文按年度主题收拢。它的好处在于作者阵容多元：学者讲制度与历史，媒体人讲现场与细节，作家谈文化与人。同一件事，能看到几种不同的切入角度，而不是被新闻标题牵着走。篇幅上，它属于可以一天读完的电子小书，适合通勤或睡前随手翻看。 需要提醒的是：这是一本“当年之书”。评论的锋芒与语境都锁定在2014年，今天读来，有些判断已经可被检验，有些话题已经换了说法。这恰恰是它的用处——对照十年后的世界，看看当初人们的关心点落在哪里，哪些判断站住了，哪些落空了。对做媒体、做内容或研究互联网舆论的人来说，它是一份小小的档案。

《匆匆2014》是朱自清的散文集吗？
不是。朱自清的名篇《匆匆》是散文，而《匆匆2014》是腾讯“大家”平台推出的年度主题文集，由贾葭主编，中信出版社2014年出版。两者只共享“匆匆”二字，内容与体裁完全不同，搜索时请留意副标题“腾讯大家”。
这本书是单一作者写的吗？
不是。它是“大家”平台多位专栏作者文章的合集，主编为贾葭。因此书中各篇文风、立场不一，阅读时不必当作一部观点统一的专著，更适合把它看作一份多人观点的拼图。
这本书有纸质版吗？ISBN是多少？
据现有资料，本书属于“腾讯大家”电子书系列，由中信出版社于2014年出版，主要以电子书形式发行，目前公开资料中未查到确切的ISBN与纸质版本信息。购买或引用前建议以出版社和正规电子书平台的信息为准。
为什么书里讨论的都是2014年的事，现在读还有意义吗？
有意义，但读法要调整。它更像一份年度舆论档案：可以对照十年后的结果，检验当年评论者的判断，也能看到公共讨论的用词与关切如何变化。把它当作“时代切片”，而非时效新闻来读，收获会更多。
“腾讯大家”是一个什么平台？
“大家”是腾讯推出的自媒体内容平台，聚集两岸三地及海外华语学者、作家与媒体人，主打长文评论与思想随笔，曾与中信出版社、社会科学文献出版社等合作推出多种主题电子书与MOOK。
