以下是小说的后记选段。 原文在作者的官网处可下载。(http://www.rifters.com/real/shorts/PeterWatts_Blindsight_Endnotes.pdf) 这个后记篇幅不短,其实已经相当于一篇论文的Reference,底下的脚注也是密密麻麻。用作者的话说,这篇后记志在“让你相信我并非异想天开,又或...
评分不算是啥书评吧,自是看完后的思考而已。 上午上课时把它看完了就一直在想意识的问题。中午也查了一些别人评价,就这样带着思索午休了·。 睡觉不想起来,可能是被生活习惯拖累了吧,也许只是变懒了。睡觉的时候一直在想盲视,唉╯﹏╰…… 人...
评分一个假想:人类发明了ai。ai比人类强。而之后ai的系统在一次自我更新里发生了偏转。自动安装了名为【自我思维】的软件(病毒?),该软件运算量极大,会占用99.9%系统cpu,并且会和其它处理软件产生冲突乃至造成系统崩溃。因为这种病毒,ai变的和人类差不多弱小,但ai也获得了...
评分《人类简史》其实是我很早以前就看过的,当时边看边呼好厉害好牛逼我要认赫拉利当爸爸,可是时间长了,学渣的脑力就显现出来了,现在要我回忆,我还真不太记得那些宏大的关系和骇人的论断。 倒是前段时间看了本科幻小说《盲视》,会让我时不时地想起《人类简史》。 《盲视》的...
评分之前看过很多艺术作品,探讨的自我意识的真实性的,像楚门的世界、盗梦空间或者黑客帝国等等,你身处感官所营造的环境之中,如何才能觉得自我和世界是真实的。你看大街上人来人往,为什么不能除了你都是npc呢?程序设定让他们能与你交流,做出合理的社交反应,你丝毫不会怀疑他...

Two months have past since a myriad of alien objects clenched about the Earth, screaming as they burned. The heavens have been silent since--until a derelict space probe hears whispers from a distant comet. Something talks out there: but not to us.
Who you do send to meet the alien
when the alien doesn't want to meet?
You send a linguist with multiple personalities carved surgically into her brain. You send
a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultra-
sound, so compromised by grafts and splices he no longer feels his own flesh. You
send a pacifist warrior whose career-defining moment was an act of treason. You
send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called
vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics
and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist — an
informational topologist with half his mind gone — as an
interface between here and there, a conduit through
which the Dead Center might hope to understand
the Bleeding Edge.
You send them all to the edge of interstellar space, praying you
can trust such freaks and retrofits with the fate of a world.
You fear they may be more alien than the thing they've
been sent to find.
But you'd give anything for that to be true, if you
only knew what was waiting for them...
core setting very scientific and exciting, but the story itself is not interesting, and the stupid part of vampire should be deleted.
评分译文版2011年1月。这算是我硬着头皮啃下来的第一篇长篇硬科幻,很硬,以我对科幻那点浅薄到可以忽略不计的经验值来说,难以驾驭,阅读过程变得艰涩,中途睡过去无数次,挣扎着醒来继续看下去。即便如此,它还是在我心里留下了印记。这个故事我恐怕不会忘记。
评分totally mind-blowing! 这技术水准真是高啊
评分Really remarkable - one of the best SF books I've read in some time.
评分几年以来读过最喜欢的小说之一。我已经开启了安利模式。
