评分##摘自知乎:“从这个短篇中看到了一个和以往那些充斥着厮杀,阴谋和令人沮丧的贪婪生物本性的世界完全不同的,另一种具有悲剧色彩却更有积极意义的可能 → 我们本质上都是宇宙的弃儿,被驱散到黑暗中的边边角角,发展出各自的文明,除了互相厮杀外,我们还有另一种共存方式,既联手对抗命运和残酷的物理规则。在远离银河系文明的地方,有其他的生物能够比我们更好的适应环境,能超越简单的生存和侵略本能,从更宏观的,甚至说从智慧生命那种更慈悲的角度默默帮助其他迷失的灵魂,默默反抗着这一切 →它们比我们更深刻的明白了这个真理: 我们都是这是宇宙这头嗜血野兽嘴边的食物,无人能幸免,但至少我们能互相关照,这种观点非常新颖,非常浪漫,并且也不是完全没有可能。”
评分 评分 评分LD&R中最令我回味的一集,原著很好地补充了细节(比如超光速旅行的背景设定),某些剧情也更 make sense(比如叫Suzy起床的动机以及Greta披露真相的动机),结局一样绝望。科幻粉值得一读。
