我读姜的七个记忆片段 文/旧书 如果有人问我最喜欢的西方科幻作家是谁,我大概会张口就来几个耳熟能详的名字——阿瑟·克拉克,弗洛·文奇,罗伯特·索耶,乃至丹·西蒙斯等等。估计要转了很大一圈之后才会想起特德·姜的名字。不料最近在读完新版的《呼吸》之后,发现,姜,应...
评分 评分 评分 评分读史使人明智。这里的史是历史,也是未来史。 我们从过去学到的,跟我们从未来学到的,竟然都如此丰富多彩!这才是科幻书该有的模样! 以下分享几个自己比较有感触的故事: 炼金术:我们既是自己人生的参与者和创造者,但有时候也是无力改变的旁观者。过去发生的事实无法改变,...

From an award-winning science fiction writer (whose short story "The Story of Your Life" was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated movie Arrival), the long-awaited new collection of stunningly original, humane, and already celebrated short stories
This much-anticipated second collection of stories is signature Ted Chiang, full of revelatory ideas and deeply sympathetic characters. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and the temptation of second chances. In the epistolary "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality. And in "The Lifecycle of Software Objects," a woman cares for an artificial intelligence over twenty years, elevating a faddish digital pet into what might be a true living being. Also included are two brand-new stories: "Omphalos" and "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom."
In this fantastical and elegant collection, Ted Chiang wrestles with the oldest questions on earth--What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human?--and ones that no one else has even imagined. And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning, and compassion.
非常喜欢第一个故事。但其他的实在看不下去。我还是更喜欢宏大叙事类的科幻题材
评分新加两篇忒好,一篇喜概念,一篇喜道德
评分在书店看到才发现居然包括2019年的两篇新作,立刻买下,回家读完只能说 Ted 那一套架空世界娓娓道来震碎三观的风格真是越来越溜了,一出手就是神作。。
评分果然我还是不适合看科幻。《三体》第一部看了一半没看明白,放弃。这本书,看了阿北推荐,就想看看试试。我评分前,这本书的评分是9.9。其实我想打三星半的,四星到不了。故事都还可以,都比较能引发人的思考。但在我看来,就是故事不够有趣,让我没有那种很想继续读下去的欲望。从这个角度来说,只有最后一个故事 Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom 的结尾是我觉得比较有趣或者有意思的。另外一个印象比较深的故事是 The lifecycle of software objects,也是很引人思考,但读起来真不觉得有意思,能印象深刻有一半是因为这篇真长。
