In the ashes of a dying world, Red finds a letter marked “Burn before reading. Signed, Blue.”
So begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents in a war that stretches through the vast reaches of time and space.
Red belongs to the Agency, a post-singularity technotopia. Blue belongs to Garden, a single vast consciousness embedded in all organic matter. Their pasts are bloody and their futures mutually exclusive. They have nothing in common—save that they’re the best, and they’re alone.
Now what began as a battlefield boast grows into a dangerous game, one both Red and Blue are determined to win. Because winning’s what you do in war. Isn’t it?
A tour de force collaboration from two powerhouse writers that spans the whole of time and space.

This Is How You Lose the Time War 下载 mobi epub pdf 电子书##我本来都已经打算开始啃英文了,结果居然被我找到了翻译版。这本书太浪漫了,这种形式的科幻小说真的是第一次见,很不错。
评分 评分##Will you go still or turn sharply when you know that I'm watching you? Will you see me? Imagine me waving, in case you don't ; I'll be too far off for you to see my mouth.//5.16读完,第一次读完一本英文书,好难。前一星期看的很懵,到后边就是看了就忘了。但总归是读完了。Red和Blue好浪漫,不同时空的永恒信件,我爱!
评分##比起说这是一本科幻书,更像是一本情书散文书。一开始读的时候满头雾水,抱着一直想要放弃的心情读下去,后面越来越好看。奇妙地用歌名、十六进制颜色、燃烧颜色对应自己爱人的元素、石头、花朵、蝴蝶、土著语、书名、谚语等来称呼自己的爱人。在时间线之间的穿梭与因果修改,有种拉普拉斯妖的感觉。记得里面提及的时间线有——圆明园、瘟疫对印加帝国的影响、Bess of Cavendish、神秘博士、贸易变动对明朝汇率的影响、亚特兰蒂斯、林则徐、郑成功……但是,再次提醒下,这是一本关于爱情的书。
评分##之前看到有人说书里短暂的讨论了明朝时候银币短缺的后果还有林某人虎门销烟等等的这么个time travel故事 看简介又红又蓝的双方也以为会有些什么政治上的隐喻 实在是大大的误解 本质上是个YA爱情故事 虽然写的很poetic (可能因为是书信体 感觉故事发展略..choppy(? 当然也可能是本人水平不够不懂欣赏这种意识流
