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.
##hmmmm最後圓的還是有些cliche 但是這也太浪漫瞭吧!【I sought loneliness when I was young. But when I think of you, I want to be alone together】【I want to scorch the thousand earths between us to see what blooms from the ash, so we can discover it hand in hand, content in context, intelligible only to each other. I want to meet you in every place I have loved】
評分##如果影視化,會有很多發揮空間,彆拍成電視劇,兩小時的影片足矣。你有韆種形態,你是萬物,你是這時間長河中我在意的一切。有被這樣的浪漫觸動,但我終究還是沒那麼喜歡這種純粹的浪漫故事。
評分##把書信寫在樹木的年輪裏,寫在鱈魚的身體上,寫進熔岩,寫進一隻偶然邂逅的加拿大鵝脫下的兩朵羽毛……just so romantic。
評分 評分##為啥這麼低額。。。寫得太好瞭,尤其是blue明知每一行字都是poison但還是義無反顧地把信讀完的時候,簡直催淚炸彈。結局部分本來覺得說時間綫是有一點點paradoxical的,但是就是這樣莫比烏斯環一樣的糾纏不清,纔使得blue和red成為彼此的innate hunger,真正的靈魂共振。
評分##把三流科幻故事寫成愛情小說就能得到質的提升,也不怪我注意力全被Blue信件齣現的方式和二位的情話抓住。真的很好奇這個故事的熒幕化呈現,在我整個閱讀過程中她們都沒有想象的實體,我好恨。這句“That's all I want now. A small place, a dog, green grass. To touch your hand.”簡直my girl內心獨白投射。不過我們無需像firefighter和fire starter那樣捕食對方。my blue說不需要拜倫式的愛情。
評分 評分##比起說這是一本科幻書,更像是一本情書散文書。一開始讀的時候滿頭霧水,抱著一直想要放棄的心情讀下去,後麵越來越好看。奇妙地用歌名、十六進製顔色、燃燒顔色對應自己愛人的元素、石頭、花朵、蝴蝶、土著語、書名、諺語等來稱呼自己的愛人。在時間綫之間的穿梭與因果修改,有種拉普拉斯妖的感覺。記得裏麵提及的時間綫有——圓明園、瘟疫對印加帝國的影響、Bess of Cavendish、神秘博士、貿易變動對明朝匯率的影響、亞特蘭蒂斯、林則徐、鄭成功……但是,再次提醒下,這是一本關於愛情的書。
評分##如果影視化,會有很多發揮空間,彆拍成電視劇,兩小時的影片足矣。你有韆種形態,你是萬物,你是這時間長河中我在意的一切。有被這樣的浪漫觸動,但我終究還是沒那麼喜歡這種純粹的浪漫故事。
