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
##人很容易陷入孤独的自我想象当中。有时候，我们过分在意我们做出选择的意义，也忍不住去想不同选择的结果，究竟是不同的选择塑造了我们的人生，还是我们本就注定的命运引导了我们的选择。正是因为我们始终想要逃避选择伴随着我要定义“我是一个什么样的人”的责任。 我，不得不承担“我要成为一个什么样的人”的责任， 我，最终要承担“我要成为一个什么样的人”的责任。
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##还是很不舍地peruse式地读完，看每篇写作笔记也更是让我无比珍惜，像是站在作者面前听他慢慢讲起多年以来他知晓和思考的所有：无法改变的过去与对应的未来、熵与混乱、无意义的人生与向死、情感联系与意识的形成、语言和和记忆的真实、宇宙起源和人性信仰、以及人为何是人
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##无尽无尽的温柔。

评分##The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate / Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom
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
