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0 我阅读《呼吸》时伴随阅读了《博尔赫斯谈话录(Borges at Eighties: Conversations)》以及博尔赫斯暮年的最后几篇短篇小说。并行的阅读让我无法忽视掉两个作者的近似之处。 1 我感受到了大量相似之处,但这并不足以说明特德姜一定是从博尔赫斯这里吸取的养分。他们具有“高...

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.
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。

评分瑰丽的想象力,温柔的人性关怀,深邃理性的思考,唯一就是语言差了点
评分Why do we remember the past not the future? 太好看了,新作只有两篇,但实在太喜欢最后一篇关于焦虑的文字。看完他的三本书着实让我长长的喘了口气,姜老师一如既往理性逻辑强且温柔,这点我要多跟他学习。我们这代人也许有机会观察和经历比以往更激烈和快速发展的周期,意味着机遇和挑战。最终我们会因为宇宙的引力自然而然的被流向一个不管现在想来合理或不合理的未来,一切不可测,唯有保持平静和学习的心态去经历每一个当下。
