1969年《黑暗的左手》发表并获奖后,由于这个故事自带各种新元素和话题性,当时便引起了一场事关女权、幻想文学、各种主义的大论战,牵涉面非常广、参与名人非常多,最重要的是,厄休拉女神面对各种质疑展现出惊人的战斗力,以少敌众毫不服软,结果就生生地辩论了好多年……其...
评分科幻小说有时被分为硬科幻和软科幻两大类。硬科幻主要探讨机器人、生物科技、航空航天等新技术对人类的影响,软科幻更多地演绎社会学、人类学、心理学、政治学相关的场景。这么讲,《黑暗的左手》是一部软科幻作品。 在这部书里仅出现了两项超越人类当前科技水平的技术,分别...
评分很佩服作者的文字功底,引人深思的智慧和一种严谨的高贵感贯穿始终。横越冰川大陆的几章用了很奢侈的笔墨,读起来稍显枯燥,但篇幅确实也给这段经历增加了很多重量。原作发表的1969年正是登月的那一年,也只有这样的背景才会让她写出这么博爱乐观的一部地外接触系科幻。文中有...

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards.
A groundbreaking work of science fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness tells the story of a lone human emissary to Winter, an alien world whose inhabitants can change their gender. His goal is to facilitate Winter's inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilization. But to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and those of the completely dissimilar culture that he encounters. Embracing the aspects of psychology, society, and human emotion on an alien world, The Left Hand of Darkness stands as a landmark achievement in the annals of intellectual science fiction.
经读得很
评分架空整个全新的世界,确实开头读起来很辛苦。但这个设定太牛逼,我们现代世界两分法的思维惯性是不是来自于最初男女性别这一划分?如果人类是雌雄同体的,那么许多歧视就会消失,如果人类并不始终处在发情期,那么社会可能就会平和很多,但性欲的完全缺失,又会导致生命力、创造力的缺失。序言写得太好,科幻小说从来不是为了预言未来,而是为了创造一个世界,而这个全新的世界会激发我们回头来重新审视这个既存的世界。或许许多事情没有我们以为的这么理所当然。
评分黑暗的左手,非常优雅的作品,但实在太慢热了,甚至可以说,根本没热起来,虽然这不是绝对意义上的弱点…
评分生物基因方面解释太薄弱。不知为何,看描写Estraven的容貌体型,总是我想到冰火之歌的瓦里斯大人尊容。
评分一半弃
