One night in October when he was ten years old, Tyler Dupree stood in his back yard and watched the stars go out. They all flared into brilliance at once, then disappeared, replaced by a flat, empty black barrier. He and his best friends, Jason and Diane Lawton, had seen what became known as the Big Blackout. It would shape their lives. The effect is worldwide. The sun is now a featureless disk--a heat source, rather than an astronomical object. The moon is gone, but tides remain. Not only have the world's artificial satellites fallen out of orbit, their recovered remains are pitted and aged, as though they'd been in space far longer than their known lifespans. As Tyler, Jason, and Diane grow up, space probe reveals a bizarre truth: The barrier is artificial, generated by huge alien artifacts. Time is passing faster outside the barrier than inside--more than a hundred million years per day on Earth. At this rate, the death throes of the sun are only about forty years in our future. Jason, now a promising young scientist, devotes his life to working against this slow-moving apocalypse. Diane throws herself into hedonism, marrying a sinister cult leader who's forged a new religion out of the fears of the masses. Earth sends terraforming machines to Mars to let the onrush of time do its work, turning the planet green. Next they send humans....and immediately get back an emissary with thousands of years of stories to tell about the settling of Mars. Then Earth's probes reveal that an identical barrier has appeared around Mars. Jason, desperate, seeds near space with self-replicating machines that will scatter copies of themselves outward from the sun--and report back on what they find. Life on Earth is about to get much, much stranger. Wilson has become one of the most exciting talents in SF todayIn Spin, he outdoes himself, juggling numerous philosophical, moral and scientific ideas, including a fascinating Martian civilization created by humans, but he never neglects the emotional underpinnings of what the Spin comes to mean to humanitySpin to paraphrase Bogie, is the stuff that (SF) dreams are made of. -- The Globe and Mail "Like most of Wilson's books, Spin is an intelligent and inventive page-turner, with compelling characters and enough surprises to keep readers guessing right to the end. I recommend it highly." -- The Times-Colonist

读后感

这是最好的年代，同时也是最坏的年代。 有关《時間迴旋》这部小说如果拓展开去，实在有太多东西可说，但是那些启发与感悟又显得很零碎，零碎的散落在这部结构庞大的小说的字里行间，难以捕捉到实际的形体，难以一一梳理清晰，却又明确知道真实存在，如同作品中的假想智慧生物...  

原载《轨迹》杂志 中文编译：无机客 [因为有删节，所以不是翻译，是编译] 写书评该怎么写，Gary K. Wolfe 给了一个很好的范例。 每隔一段时间，雨果奖似乎都要做一点改变。尽管罗伯特·查尔斯·威尔逊的科幻生涯可以追溯到二十年前，尽管他之前曾经三度获得雨果奖最佳长...  

很久不看科幻小说了，其实主要是看不下去很多文学性差和情节比较枯燥的书。 我是比较喜欢硬科幻，但这本书其实比较软——至少，不那么[硬]，但作者在文学上的功底完全的弥补了这个缺陷，其实可能不算缺陷，本来就有这么一类科幻小说。 正如书背后说的，除了是科幻，也是部爱情...  

陕西南路的季风有一个科幻书架，上面摆了很多蛮古老的科幻小说，其实严格的说也就是一排。最近我过一段时间就去抽一本买回去看，不知不觉就读了好多科幻。 作为脑子不太好的那群普通人之一，我一向是吃不太消太硬的科幻的。国内很推崇的大刘，他的那些据说很有理有据的，，三...
