具体描述
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.
用户评价
##最喜欢第一篇 好几篇都太“育儿经”了 尤其AI那篇搞得我差点弃书 文笔简直味同嚼蜡
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。
评分##无尽无尽的温柔。
评分##看新作来的，最喜欢的还是第一篇商人与炼金术士之门，这可如何是好。
评分##"Will it be preferable to remain mute to prolong our ability to think, or to talk until the very end?" Ted Chiang的语言怎么可以如此理性坚定又模糊温柔！身体和心都太感动????????????迫不及待标一下！

评分##叙事沉着犹如引向无可避免的悲剧的铁轨，我们作为车窗里的乘客看到夕阳火红却没有温度，是造物神第一声om的最后一声回响，是气息开始散去前胸腔使的最后的劲儿。
