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
##看新作來的，最喜歡的還是第一篇商人與煉金術士之門，這可如何是好。
評分##非常喜歡第一篇，但是對於電子寵物沒啥感覺，寫的人太多。
評分##"Will it be preferable to remain mute to prolong our ability to think, or to talk until the very end?" Ted Chiang的語言怎麼可以如此理性堅定又模糊溫柔！身體和心都太感動????????????迫不及待標一下！
評分##還是很不捨地peruse式地讀完，看每篇寫作筆記也更是讓我無比珍惜，像是站在作者麵前聽他慢慢講起多年以來他知曉和思考的所有：無法改變的過去與對應的未來、熵與混亂、無意義的人生與嚮死、情感聯係與意識的形成、語言和和記憶的真實、宇宙起源和人性信仰、以及人為何是人

評分##Exhalation 本來就是我最喜歡薑老師的一篇，後麵兩篇翁法洛斯和焦慮是自由的眩暈是新篇，太期待瞭纔買瞭原版來看，物超所值。薑老師的語言一如既往地理性，邏輯性也極強，因為那種詳實的感受讓故事背景可信。每一篇當中對社會人性的討論都有有許多有趣的點，有的點感覺單獨拿齣來就能寫一個短篇
評分##Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully.
