具体描述
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.
用户评价
##还是很不舍地peruse式地读完，看每篇写作笔记也更是让我无比珍惜，像是站在作者面前听他慢慢讲起多年以来他知晓和思考的所有：无法改变的过去与对应的未来、熵与混乱、无意义的人生与向死、情感联系与意识的形成、语言和和记忆的真实、宇宙起源和人性信仰、以及人为何是人
评分##人很容易陷入孤独的自我想象当中。有时候，我们过分在意我们做出选择的意义，也忍不住去想不同选择的结果，究竟是不同的选择塑造了我们的人生，还是我们本就注定的命运引导了我们的选择。正是因为我们始终想要逃避选择伴随着我要定义“我是一个什么样的人”的责任。 我，不得不承担“我要成为一个什么样的人”的责任， 我，最终要承担“我要成为一个什么样的人”的责任。
评分##就阅读体验来讲，更喜欢刘宇昆的《The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories》。姜大师这本 语言更平实，故事讲起来似乎也没有那么惊心动 魄，甚至有点波澜不惊。但只要静下心来思考， 后劲儿很大。
评分##叙事沉着犹如引向无可避免的悲剧的铁轨，我们作为车窗里的乘客看到夕阳火红却没有温度，是造物神第一声om的最后一声回响，是气息开始散去前胸腔使的最后的劲儿。
评分##"Will it be preferable to remain mute to prolong our ability to think, or to talk until the very end?" Ted Chiang的语言怎么可以如此理性坚定又模糊温柔！身体和心都太感动????????????迫不及待标一下！
评分##Exhalation 本来就是我最喜欢姜老师的一篇，后面两篇翁法洛斯和焦虑是自由的眩晕是新篇，太期待了才买了原版来看，物超所值。姜老师的语言一如既往地理性，逻辑性也极强，因为那种详实的感受让故事背景可信。每一篇当中对社会人性的讨论都有有许多有趣的点，有的点感觉单独拿出来就能写一个短篇
评分##The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate / Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom
评分##no。故事也许OK，文笔一般。
