具体描述
From an award-winning science fiction writer (whose short story "The Story of Your Life" was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated movie Arrival), the long-awaited new collection of stunningly original, humane, and already celebrated short stories
This much-anticipated second collection of stories is signature Ted Chiang, full of revelatory ideas and deeply sympathetic characters. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and the temptation of second chances. In the epistolary "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality. And in "The Lifecycle of Software Objects," a woman cares for an artificial intelligence over twenty years, elevating a faddish digital pet into what might be a true living being. Also included are two brand-new stories: "Omphalos" and "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom."
In this fantastical and elegant collection, Ted Chiang wrestles with the oldest questions on earth--What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human?--and ones that no one else has even imagined. And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning, and compassion.
用户评价
##最喜欢第一篇 好几篇都太“育儿经”了 尤其AI那篇搞得我差点弃书 文笔简直味同嚼蜡
评分##叙事沉着犹如引向无可避免的悲剧的铁轨，我们作为车窗里的乘客看到夕阳火红却没有温度，是造物神第一声om的最后一声回响，是气息开始散去前胸腔使的最后的劲儿。
评分##no。故事也许OK，文笔一般。
评分##Exhalation 本来就是我最喜欢姜老师的一篇，后面两篇翁法洛斯和焦虑是自由的眩晕是新篇，太期待了才买了原版来看，物超所值。姜老师的语言一如既往地理性，逻辑性也极强，因为那种详实的感受让故事背景可信。每一篇当中对社会人性的讨论都有有许多有趣的点，有的点感觉单独拿出来就能写一个短篇
评分##人很容易陷入孤独的自我想象当中。有时候，我们过分在意我们做出选择的意义，也忍不住去想不同选择的结果，究竟是不同的选择塑造了我们的人生，还是我们本就注定的命运引导了我们的选择。正是因为我们始终想要逃避选择伴随着我要定义“我是一个什么样的人”的责任。 我，不得不承担“我要成为一个什么样的人”的责任， 我，最终要承担“我要成为一个什么样的人”的责任。
评分##The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate / Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom
评分##Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully.
评分##时间旅行那个故事最好。其他的都太烧脑，读着略累。哲学思想通过小故事来讲解挺聪明的。虽然对眼下的启示不多，但很多问题人类早晚都会遇到。
评分##no。故事也许OK，文笔一般。
