具體描述
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.

##The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate / Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom
評分##Exhalation 本來就是我最喜歡薑老師的一篇，後麵兩篇翁法洛斯和焦慮是自由的眩暈是新篇，太期待瞭纔買瞭原版來看，物超所值。薑老師的語言一如既往地理性，邏輯性也極強，因為那種詳實的感受讓故事背景可信。每一篇當中對社會人性的討論都有有許多有趣的點，有的點感覺單獨拿齣來就能寫一個短篇

評分##Past and future are the same, and we cannot change either, only know them more fully.
評分##時間旅行那個故事最好。其他的都太燒腦，讀著略纍。哲學思想通過小故事來講解挺聰明的。雖然對眼下的啓示不多，但很多問題人類早晚都會遇到。
評分##Ted Chiang 品質保證！
評分##看新作來的，最喜歡的還是第一篇商人與煉金術士之門，這可如何是好。

評分##在書店看到纔發現居然包括2019年的兩篇新作，立刻買下，迴傢讀完隻能說 Ted 那一套架空世界娓娓道來震碎三觀的風格真是越來越溜瞭，一齣手就是神作。。
