Four time Hugo Award winner Vernor Vinge has taken readers to the depths of space and into the far future in his bestselling novels "A Fire Upon the Deep" and "A Deepness in the Sky." Now, he has written a science-fiction thriller set in a place and time as exciting and strange as any far-future world: San Diego, California, 2025. Robert Gu is a recovering Alzheimer's patient. The world that he remembers was much as we know it today. Now, as he regains his faculties through a cure developed during the years of his near-fatal decline, he discovers that the world has changed and so has his place in it. He was a world-renowned poet. Now he is seventy-five years old, though by a medical miracle he looks much younger, and he's starting over, for the first time unsure of his poetic gifts. Living with his son's family, he has no choice but to learn how to cope with a new information age in which the virtual and the real are a seamless continuum, layers of reality built on digital views seen by a single person or millions, depending on your choice. But the consensus reality of the digital world is available only if, like his thirteen-year-old granddaughter Miri, you know how to wear your wireless access--through nodes designed into "smart" clothes--and to see the digital context--through "smart" contact lenses. With knowledge comes risk. When Robert begins to re-train at Fairmont High, learning with other older people what is second nature to Miri and other teens at school, he unwittingly becomes part of a wide-ranging conspiracy to use technology as a tool for world domination. In a world where every computer chip has Homeland Security built-in, this conspiracy is something that baffles even the most sophisticated security analysts, including Robert's son and daughter-in law, two top people in the U.S. military. And even Miri, in her attempts to protect her grandfather, may be entangled in the plot. As Robert becomes more deeply involved in conspiracy, he is shocked to learn of a radical change planned for the UCSD Geisel Library; all the books there, and worldwide, would cease to physically exist. He and his fellow re-trainees feel compelled to join protests against the change. With forces around the world converging on San Diego, both the conspiracy and the protest climax in a spectacular moment as unique and satisfying as it is unexpected. This is science fiction at its very best, by a master storyteller at his peak.
弗諾·文奇
作為賽伯朋剋流派中活躍至今的著名科幻作傢,弗諾·文奇在硬科幻寫作方麵頗有造詣,擁有極高的聲譽。弗諾·文奇本人兼具數學傢和計算機專傢兩種身份,他的小說邏輯嚴密、情節緊湊,尤以細節的締造和令人驚嘆的預見力著稱。閱讀文奇的科幻小說,絕對是一種享受。
文奇並不多産,但他的每一部小說都稱得上經典:1981年,《真名實姓》使他聲名大噪;1993年,《深淵上的火》獲得雨果奬;2000年,《天淵》擊敗《哈利·波特與阿茲卡班的囚徒》再獲雨果奬……2007年,《彩虹盡頭》讓他捧迴第五座雨果奬奬杯。
文奇的想象力是沒話說的。不過彩虹盡頭的故事和人物塑造略嫌薄弱瞭一些。相比之下還是更喜歡界區係列。另外前一陣有兩個TED演講讓我想起瞭這本小說。一個是"Billy Collins: Everyday moments, caught in time", 總覺得老爺爺Billy Collins有點羅伯特·顧的範兒。另一個是"Eric Whitacre: A virtual choir 2000 voices strong", 雖然還沒看,但是題目讓我想起瞭鬍安和羅伯特的大作業,哈。
