小说的预设还是挺吸引人的:陨石撞地球引发的连锁反应将导致地球几十年后无法生存;时间又设定在二战结后不久的五十年代初,前计算机时代如何加速发展太空科技? 小说中也确实有几段比较精彩的技术描写。但这几段就象是老王(王晋康)拿几篇短篇拼凑长篇那样,未承前也不启后,...

Mary Robinette Kowal's science fiction debut, The Calculating Stars, explores the premise behind her award-winning "Lady Astronaut of Mars."

On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the east coast of the United States, including Washington D.C. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space, and requires a much larger share of humanity to take part in the process.
Elma York’s experience as a WASP pilot and mathematician earns her a place in the International Aerospace Coalition’s attempts to put man on the moon, as a calculator. But with so many skilled and experienced women pilots and scientists involved with the program, it doesn’t take long before Elma begins to wonder why they can’t go into space, too.
Elma’s drive to become the first Lady Astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her.
我觉得这本书很适合影视化诶,可以直接代入《超时空接触》里Jodie Foster的形象。而且书里也有炸弹情节但是没得逞。期待后续……
评分这种居然是 2018 星云奖?第一章写的很精彩,身临其境的紧张和震撼感。之后就变成了漫无止境的日常生活念念碎,感觉像是枪手代笔写的一样,只有每一章开头的新闻摘要还在继续跟进主线剧情的进展,第一章辛苦建立起来的紧张感逐渐消磨殆尽。如果想了解五十年代美国黑人和女性在工作社会上受到的歧视,以及当时人类“计算机”的情况,也许还算是相关的(暂不评价这方面描写得是否好),但是若是想看科幻......摊手,深感受骗。
评分Astronomy评选2018年度最佳科幻小说榜上排名第一。已阅第一章,已然被故事所吸引。
评分床戏过多 过于啰嗦 果然很女性视角 科学的小黄文 如果有故事情节就更好了
评分又不科幻也不奇幻甚至毫无科技含量,什么时候连雨果奖都这么zz正确只要涉及种族歧视性别歧视就能得奖。非常的female fiction,还经常让我跳戏hidden figure。
