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
##在書店看到纔發現居然包括2019年的兩篇新作，立刻買下，迴傢讀完隻能說 Ted 那一套架空世界娓娓道來震碎三觀的風格真是越來越溜瞭，一齣手就是神作。。
評分Why do we remember the past not the future? 太好看瞭，新作隻有兩篇，但實在太喜歡最後一篇關於焦慮的文字。看完他的三本書著實讓我長長的喘瞭口氣，薑老師一如既往理性邏輯強且溫柔，這點我要多跟他學習。我們這代人也許有機會觀察和經曆比以往更激烈和快速發展的周期，意味著機遇和挑戰。最終我們會因為宇宙的引力自然而然的被流嚮一個不管現在想來閤理或不閤理的未來，一切不可測，唯有保持平靜和學習的心態去經曆每一個當下。
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

評分##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##no。故事也許OK，文筆一般。
評分##人很容易陷入孤獨的自我想象當中。有時候，我們過分在意我們做齣選擇的意義，也忍不住去想不同選擇的結果，究竟是不同的選擇塑造瞭我們的人生，還是我們本就注定的命運引導瞭我們的選擇。正是因為我們始終想要逃避選擇伴隨著我要定義“我是一個什麼樣的人”的責任。 我，不得不承擔“我要成為一個什麼樣的人”的責任， 我，最終要承擔“我要成為一個什麼樣的人”的責任。
評分##無盡無盡的溫柔。
