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##Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully.
評分##敘事沉著猶如引嚮無可避免的悲劇的鐵軌，我們作為車窗裏的乘客看到夕陽火紅卻沒有溫度，是造物神第一聲om的最後一聲迴響，是氣息開始散去前胸腔使的最後的勁兒。
評分##no。故事也許OK，文筆一般。
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##Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully.
