具体描述
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.
用户评价
##最喜欢第一篇 好几篇都太“育儿经”了 尤其AI那篇搞得我差点弃书 文笔简直味同嚼蜡
评分##在书店看到才发现居然包括2019年的两篇新作，立刻买下，回家读完只能说 Ted 那一套架空世界娓娓道来震碎三观的风格真是越来越溜了，一出手就是神作。。
评分##最喜欢第一篇 好几篇都太“育儿经”了 尤其AI那篇搞得我差点弃书 文笔简直味同嚼蜡
评分##就阅读体验来讲，更喜欢刘宇昆的《The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories》。姜大师这本 语言更平实，故事讲起来似乎也没有那么惊心动 魄，甚至有点波澜不惊。但只要静下心来思考， 后劲儿很大。
评分##Ted Chiang 品质保证！
评分Why do we remember the past not the future? 太好看了，新作只有两篇，但实在太喜欢最后一篇关于焦虑的文字。看完他的三本书着实让我长长的喘了口气，姜老师一如既往理性逻辑强且温柔，这点我要多跟他学习。我们这代人也许有机会观察和经历比以往更激烈和快速发展的周期，意味着机遇和挑战。最终我们会因为宇宙的引力自然而然的被流向一个不管现在想来合理或不合理的未来，一切不可测，唯有保持平静和学习的心态去经历每一个当下。
评分##读这本书的过程就像是一呼一吸，没有哪一刻会因为悬念或过浓的情感而屏气，但姜的故事似乎可以给予人稳定恒常的生命。如果大多数科幻作者是在描绘未来，那姜给我的感觉是在讲述过去，或更准确地说是像寓言一样，既可存在于过去，又可存在于抽象的静止的虚空：既是此刻，亦是永恒，是人的存在和思考所能覆盖的全部时间。他的世界观从不以迷恋技术与工业发展为轴心，即便在最废拖托邦的想象里，笔触永远contemplative，永远在推敲人类情感和道德体系中无所不在的subtlety。科学与哲学的一体两面被姜层层叠叠地探索了，归根结底都是无限的人性，是人对自身和外部世界的不竭不懈的mediation。科幻作品里永远不应该缺少/人/的痕迹。
评分##无尽无尽的温柔。
评分##"Will it be preferable to remain mute to prolong our ability to think, or to talk until the very end?" Ted Chiang的语言怎么可以如此理性坚定又模糊温柔！身体和心都太感动????????????迫不及待标一下！
