具体描述
TED CHIANG was born in Port Jefferson, New York, and holds a degree in computer science. His fiction has won numerous awards. His first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, has been translated into ten languages. He lives near Seattle, Washington.
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.

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
评分第一次读特德·姜的小说，是在多年前上大学的时候，读的恰好是他的处女作《巴比伦塔》。彼时我刚刚被刘慈欣的《三体》带进科幻文学的世界中，面对着众多大部头巨著，我产生了一种错觉，以为科幻文学就是要写到上百万字才算厉害。未料到的是，《巴比伦塔》闯了进来，它太特别了...

评分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...
