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
##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##無盡無盡的溫柔。
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##Ted Chiang 品質保證！
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##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##The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate / Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom
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。
