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...

**某下載link已補,謝謝Sun童鞋提醒 這個書評(或許隻是重述)想寫很久瞭。之前翻譯瞭一段談及小說中心的作者後記(http://book.douban.com/review/5103041/),然後又耽擱瞭一段時間;到現在終於寫完,已經忘瞭小說是看到第幾遍瞭。 實話說,關於“自我意識與智慧”的話題,...
評分 評分 評分不算是啥書評吧,自是看完後的思考而已。 上午上課時把它看完瞭就一直在想意識的問題。中午也查瞭一些彆人評價,就這樣帶著思索午休瞭·。 睡覺不想起來,可能是被生活習慣拖纍瞭吧,也許隻是變懶瞭。睡覺的時候一直在想盲視,唉╯﹏╰…… 人...

分離意識和情緒難道不是常用的技巧嗎?比如類似冥想。。 如果問意識在進化上有什麼用的話,我的猜測是靈活性。意識是萬能鑰匙,雖然效率低,但可以解決一切問題。

評分譯文版2011年1月。這算是我硬著頭皮啃下來的第一篇長篇硬科幻,很硬,以我對科幻那點淺薄到可以忽略不計的經驗值來說,難以駕馭,閱讀過程變得艱澀,中途睡過去無數次,掙紮著醒來繼續看下去。即便如此,它還是在我心裏留下瞭印記。這個故事我恐怕不會忘記。
評分“滿眼都是星星,不可勝數,我無論如何也無法理解,有這樣多的星星,天空又怎能如此黑暗。星星,以及--虛無。”
評分設定很有新意,故事偏無趣。
