In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: The Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story of the Bugger War.
Now, long years later, a second alien race has been discovered, but again the aliens' ways are strange and frightening...again, humans die. And it is only the Speaker for the Dead, who is also Ender Wiggin the Xenocide, who has the courage to confront the mystery...and the truth. "Speaker for the Dead" is the winner of the 1986 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1987 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

我們究竟應該如何對待一個落後的社會或者文明?我們應當把他們當做一個與我們並行的社會,保留他們的特色(當做我們的談資與樂趣的來源)並任由其慢慢發展?還是拉他們一把,讓他們過上跟我們一樣相對舒服的日子? 我們總是津津樂道於我們保持瞭某個民族的傳統,愛斯基摩人難...
評分 評分必須先看《安德的遊戲》再看此書,因為隻有兩相對比纔能顯齣此書的厚重。 初中時看《安德的遊戲》,做夢都想成為安德一樣的軍事天纔,帶領人類打敗蟲族!那是多麼激情澎湃的感覺!就像人的年少輕狂!《安德的遊戲》給年少的我留下瞭不可磨滅的英雄夢。 可惜後來忙於應試教育,...
評分那誰來著,說過“科幻小說是點子的文學”。 不過說實話,有點子但是不依賴點子的科幻小說纔是好小說。 這一本書就做到瞭這一點。 《死者代言人》裏麵的科幻設定可以說相當豐富瞭,擁有三韆年時間債的安德,覆蓋整個通訊網絡的電子意識,沉睡的蟲族女王,生態結構神秘的土著生...
評分學習外語,遷徙到新的文化環境和瞭解認識陌生人都是一件糾結的事情。 你可以感覺到快樂, 也會深深發現交流的局限, 由於價值觀不同互相難以理解的無奈和效率低下。 其實不需要有蟲族和豬仔, 世界上異文化的衝突每時每刻都在上演。 如同書裏描述的一樣, 即使不同文化的生命已...
圖書標籤: 科幻 小說 英文原版 安德係列 OrsonScott Ender 美國 Sci-Fi
科幻都是哲學。書裏透齣的思辨真是棒極瞭。不如第一本冷血理智,暖T-T
評分經過一個多禮拜的努力,俺終於讀完這本長篇小說,不得不說,這本書,還是非常有趣,故事本身讓人想要一隻讀下去,想要瞭解整個事情的經過,而有聲讀物也很不錯,聽起來很舒服。期待下一本
評分OMG
評分it's just okay. not that great. Ender's Game just did not rise my interest that much. Sorry.
評分上接同名: … 如果有一天,人類的領域真正突破地球和地球引力,進入太陽係,我們就有機會講一些常數變為參數添加進意識,這當然會經曆適應的過程。 對比來說,對物理量的變化的適應已經非常容易,隻需要一些時間,總是可以的。 更難以察覺當然也更難以調整的常量,往往深入人心,比如道德,再深入,比如邏輯。這最後一環,邏輯,是橫梗在改變之路上最大的障礙。人類全部的存在與非存在,歸根結底都建構在人類邏輯之上,它如此基礎以至於仿佛地心引力那樣地不為人所察。 因此,人類必然會忽視一個問題,當人類的領域擴大到宇宙空間、當時間被超越而變成一個尋常細弱的維度、當其他智慧種族現身,這個問題將動搖一切的問題:人類邏輯是否適用。 下轉同名…
