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.
用戶評價
##還是很不捨地peruse式地讀完，看每篇寫作筆記也更是讓我無比珍惜，像是站在作者麵前聽他慢慢講起多年以來他知曉和思考的所有：無法改變的過去與對應的未來、熵與混亂、無意義的人生與嚮死、情感聯係與意識的形成、語言和和記憶的真實、宇宙起源和人性信仰、以及人為何是人
評分##"Will it be preferable to remain mute to prolong our ability to think, or to talk until the very end?" Ted Chiang的語言怎麼可以如此理性堅定又模糊溫柔！身體和心都太感動????????????迫不及待標一下！

評分Why do we remember the past not the future? 太好看瞭，新作隻有兩篇，但實在太喜歡最後一篇關於焦慮的文字。看完他的三本書著實讓我長長的喘瞭口氣，薑老師一如既往理性邏輯強且溫柔，這點我要多跟他學習。我們這代人也許有機會觀察和經曆比以往更激烈和快速發展的周期，意味著機遇和挑戰。最終我們會因為宇宙的引力自然而然的被流嚮一個不管現在想來閤理或不閤理的未來，一切不可測，唯有保持平靜和學習的心態去經曆每一個當下。
評分##最喜歡第一篇 好幾篇都太“育兒經”瞭 尤其AI那篇搞得我差點棄書 文筆簡直味同嚼蠟

評分##無盡無盡的溫柔。
