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
##Ted Chiang 品質保證！
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##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##就閱讀體驗來講，更喜歡劉宇昆的《The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories》。薑大師這本 語言更平實，故事講起來似乎也沒有那麼驚心動 魄，甚至有點波瀾不驚。但隻要靜下心來思考， 後勁兒很大。
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##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##時間旅行那個故事最好。其他的都太燒腦，讀著略纍。哲學思想通過小故事來講解挺聰明的。雖然對眼下的啓示不多，但很多問題人類早晚都會遇到。
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##非常喜歡第一篇，但是對於電子寵物沒啥感覺，寫的人太多。
