具體描述
TED CHIANG was born in Port Jefferson, New York, and holds a degree in computer science. His fiction has won numerous awards. His first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, has been translated into ten languages. He lives near Seattle, Washington.
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.

##敘事沉著猶如引嚮無可避免的悲劇的鐵軌，我們作為車窗裏的乘客看到夕陽火紅卻沒有溫度，是造物神第一聲om的最後一聲迴響，是氣息開始散去前胸腔使的最後的勁兒。 0 我閱讀《呼吸》時伴隨閱讀瞭《博爾赫斯談話錄（Borges at Eighties: Conversations）》以及博爾赫斯暮年的最後幾篇短篇小說。並行的閱讀讓我無法忽視掉兩個作者的近似之處。 1 作為一個科幻讀者，我首先的猜想是——他們相似，隻是因為我個人對於這些關鍵概念有深刻的著迷，...
評分##一共是9篇組成的小說集，前三篇特彆好，中間[軟件體的生命周期]讓我差點退齣，最後一篇又加迴瞭水準，堪稱是“風頭豬肚豹尾”瞭。 第一篇是用故事套娃的形式寫得“迴到過去”。設定好，寫得也齣彩，寓意也佳，文中核心立意大概是這句： “無論是過去還是未來，我們都無法改變，...
評分 評分##最喜歡：The Truth of Fact,the truth of feeling 讓我想到瞭我自己的可怕迴憶。最不喜歡：The Lifecycle of Software Objects. 又臭又長，看瞭好幾晚上，都在等著它結束。

評分##非常喜歡第一篇，但是對於電子寵物沒啥感覺，寫的人太多。
