Calculating God is the new near-future SF thriller from the popular and award-winning Robert J. Sawyer. An alien shuttle craft lands outside the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. A six-legged, two-armed alien emerges, who says, in perfect English, "Take me to a paleontologist." It seems that Earth, and the alien's home planet, and the home planet of another alien species traveling on the alien mother ship, all experienced the same five cataclysmic events at about the same time (one example of these "cataclysmic events" would be the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs). Both alien races believe this proves the existence of God: i.e. he's obviously been playing with the evolution of life on each of these planets.From this provocative launch point, Sawyer tells a fast-paced, and morally and intellectually challenging, SF story that just grows larger and larger in scope. The evidence of God's universal existence is not universally well received on Earth, nor even immediately believed. And it reveals nothing of God's nature. In fact. it poses more questions than it answers.When a supernova explodes out in the galaxy but close enough to wipe out life on all three home-worlds, the big question is, Will God intervene or is this the sixth cataclysm:?Calculating God is SF on the grand scale.
具體描述
讀後感
因为木星和月球这种特殊的存在，我一直以为我们是被某种外星生命控制的。我不太相信上帝，即使是科学范畴之内的上帝我也不相信。我宁愿相信是外星生命。 小说很有意思，特别是最后的一部分。主人公从很快就要死去转变到比所有人（地球人）都要长寿，让我觉得很新奇。没...
評分 評分 評分 評分据说很多人都不喜欢这本仅仅“惜败”于哈里波特的书，这本书说实在的确实没有多少票房吸引力，题材类似〈第三类接触〉一类的外星人交往小说，缺少新奇感，又偏重于和外星人探讨人生，习俗，技术，宇宙规律一类偏硬的东西，人类主角不过是个不怎么得志的中年学究，其实看得有点...

评分是關於信仰，關於死亡，關於親情的故事。
评分震撼！
评分freaking awesome 真不該輸給哈利波特啊
评分典型羅氏作品，科學有餘幻想不足。全篇的情節直白不甚齣彩，令人驚異之處是羅氏以極端理性的邏輯推斷架設齣瞭一個翔實得讓讀者深信文字渾然不知的辯證觀環境，這種身曆其境之沉浸感我在其他科幻中從未體驗過。外星人霍勒斯的描寫栩栩如生，實為亮點。羅氏網撒得太大，導緻最終隻能以一個稍顯神棍的結局給齣一個超現實意味的概念化收場，當然我認為創作是一個持續的過程，不能以一筆為全書蓋棺。總體而言，體味前中期那種科學論證氛圍是核心，其餘的都算是錦上添花吧。
