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
##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##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##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##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##Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully.

評分##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。
