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, a 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 year 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.

对于Jason的便当一直是个遗憾QAQ结尾撒骨灰的时候就是感叹Lawton一家和Tyler都付出了那么多

We all fall, and we all land somehwere.

开局写到一个假太阳太带感了，我还以为是科幻界楚门故事的开端，发展虽然不如我所想，但被放进宇宙保鲜袋的地球设定依旧很吸引人。我非常喜欢时间差的设定，被时间回旋包围的地球与宇宙之间存在着亿年的鸿沟，可我的问题是人类难道不是一直活在一种假想的时间错位感里吗？人之于地球，地球之于太阳系，太阳系之于宇宙，一切都是漂泊的雨滴，只不过我没有Wilson那般积极或浪漫，我不觉得这些雨滴最后会降落，他们只会在爆炸里燃烧成灰烬，或者被吸进黑洞里变成一串数据。时间回旋见证了星球文明的起落，与我们相似的文明，从前有，以后也会有，地球文明从来不特别，人类亦缺乏自救能力，我们甚至没有迎来壮丽却升华的悲剧结局，人类被轻轻缓缓地包围拯救，于是更加迷失自我与不知要去向哪里。#wilson写的爱太俗了 #想唱，去向大海的方向

不错～
