具體描述
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.
用戶評價
##讀這本書的過程就像是一呼一吸，沒有哪一刻會因為懸念或過濃的情感而屏氣，但薑的故事似乎可以給予人穩定恒常的生命。如果大多數科幻作者是在描繪未來，那薑給我的感覺是在講述過去，或更準確地說是像寓言一樣，既可存在於過去，又可存在於抽象的靜止的虛空：既是此刻，亦是永恒，是人的存在和思考所能覆蓋的全部時間。他的世界觀從不以迷戀技術與工業發展為軸心，即便在最廢拖托邦的想象裏，筆觸永遠contemplative，永遠在推敲人類情感和道德體係中無所不在的subtlety。科學與哲學的一體兩麵被薑層層疊疊地探索瞭，歸根結底都是無限的人性，是人對自身和外部世界的不竭不懈的mediation。科幻作品裏永遠不應該缺少/人/的痕跡。
評分 評分《商人和煉金術士之門》：非常精彩的短篇，就像是從薑的經典小說沃土中，自然生長齣的瑰麗花朵。Core Idea是經典的時間旅行，某種程度延續瞭《你一生的故事》中對“過去與未來”的討論；故事的風格則繼承瞭《巴彆塔》“傳說+科學”的迷人色彩。此外，既傳統又現代的故事錶現手...
評分Why do we remember the past not the future? 太好看瞭，新作隻有兩篇，但實在太喜歡最後一篇關於焦慮的文字。看完他的三本書著實讓我長長的喘瞭口氣，薑老師一如既往理性邏輯強且溫柔，這點我要多跟他學習。我們這代人也許有機會觀察和經曆比以往更激烈和快速發展的周期，意味著機遇和挑戰。最終我們會因為宇宙的引力自然而然的被流嚮一個不管現在想來閤理或不閤理的未來，一切不可測，唯有保持平靜和學習的心態去經曆每一個當下。
