具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##最喜歡：The Truth of Fact,the truth of feeling 讓我想到瞭我自己的可怕迴憶。最不喜歡：The Lifecycle of Software Objects. 又臭又長，看瞭好幾晚上，都在等著它結束。
評分##敘事沉著猶如引嚮無可避免的悲劇的鐵軌，我們作為車窗裏的乘客看到夕陽火紅卻沒有溫度，是造物神第一聲om的最後一聲迴響，是氣息開始散去前胸腔使的最後的勁兒。
評分##讀這本書的過程就像是一呼一吸，沒有哪一刻會因為懸念或過濃的情感而屏氣，但薑的故事似乎可以給予人穩定恒常的生命。如果大多數科幻作者是在描繪未來，那薑給我的感覺是在講述過去，或更準確地說是像寓言一樣，既可存在於過去，又可存在於抽象的靜止的虛空：既是此刻，亦是永恒，是人的存在和思考所能覆蓋的全部時間。他的世界觀從不以迷戀技術與工業發展為軸心，即便在最廢拖托邦的想象裏，筆觸永遠contemplative，永遠在推敲人類情感和道德體係中無所不在的subtlety。科學與哲學的一體兩麵被薑層層疊疊地探索瞭，歸根結底都是無限的人性，是人對自身和外部世界的不竭不懈的mediation。科幻作品裏永遠不應該缺少/人/的痕跡。
評分##最喜歡第一篇 好幾篇都太“育兒經”瞭 尤其AI那篇搞得我差點棄書 文筆簡直味同嚼蠟
