先说一声,书是在豆瓣书店买的,赠送的书签真好用,镂空设计,夹在书里也不影响阅读。 才读完第一篇《商人与炼金术士之门》,已经决得物有所值。好故事无价。它让我对如何阅读小说,有了更清晰的认识。 阅读行为和其他事情一样,都有人经验世界的过程。 面对一个好故事,读者既...
评分《商人和炼金术士之门》:非常精彩的短篇,就像是从姜的经典小说沃土中,自然生长出的瑰丽花朵。Core Idea是经典的时间旅行,某种程度延续了《你一生的故事》中对“过去与未来”的讨论;故事的风格则继承了《巴别塔》“传说+科学”的迷人色彩。此外,既传统又现代的故事表现手...

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.
新加两篇忒好,一篇喜概念,一篇喜道德
评分太好看了。中文版题目翻译的不好,不是呼吸,应该是大喘气,只呼了没吸。
评分喜欢exhalation和第一篇,其他的没有特别触动
评分姜峯楠的这本科幻小说文集有点《黑镜》的感觉。我最喜欢的是讲穿越的Alchemist's Gate,养成电子宠物的The Lifecycle of Software Objects,记录回忆的The Truth of Fact/the Truth of Feeling,还有鹦鹉写的The Great Silence。最后一篇我原来去年在亚洲文化协会的《寻林觅趣》展览读过,波多黎各艺术家拍摄雨林中的鹦鹉,以及Arecibo天文台,探讨动物灭绝和科技的关系,字幕正是姜的这篇The Great Silence。“It's no coincidence that 'aspiration' means both hope and breathing...I speak, therefore I am."
评分还是很不舍地peruse式地读完,看每篇写作笔记也更是让我无比珍惜,像是站在作者面前听他慢慢讲起多年以来他知晓和思考的所有:无法改变的过去与对应的未来、熵与混乱、无意义的人生与向死、情感联系与意识的形成、语言和和记忆的真实、宇宙起源和人性信仰、以及人为何是人
