Two months have past since a myriad of alien objects clenched about the Earth, screaming as they burned. The heavens have been silent since--until a derelict space probe hears whispers from a distant comet. Something talks out there: but not to us.
Who you do send to meet the alien
when the alien doesn't want to meet?
You send a linguist with multiple personalities carved surgically into her brain. You send
a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultra-
sound, so compromised by grafts and splices he no longer feels his own flesh. You
send a pacifist warrior whose career-defining moment was an act of treason. You
send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called
vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics
and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist — an
informational topologist with half his mind gone — as an
interface between here and there, a conduit through
which the Dead Center might hope to understand
the Bleeding Edge.
You send them all to the edge of interstellar space, praying you
can trust such freaks and retrofits with the fate of a world.
You fear they may be more alien than the thing they've
been sent to find.
But you'd give anything for that to be true, if you
only knew what was waiting for them...
本书评又名《818吸血鬼与船长之间不可告人的关系》 有几个问题让我困惑,结尾处船长的出现意味着什么,另外吸血鬼本身是否有自主意识?这两个问题是否是同一个问题?让我们先放在一边,从头说起。 萨拉斯第是飞船的指挥官,但这是一份费力不讨好的活儿。萨拉斯第与船员的隔阂,...
评分之前看过很多艺术作品,探讨的自我意识的真实性的,像楚门的世界、盗梦空间或者黑客帝国等等,你身处感官所营造的环境之中,如何才能觉得自我和世界是真实的。你看大街上人来人往,为什么不能除了你都是npc呢?程序设定让他们能与你交流,做出合理的社交反应,你丝毫不会怀疑他...
评分有能力的就去看原文吧 不知道是译者知难而退,遇到理解不了的句子就直接选择性漏译呢 还是编辑给删掉了,序章打头的一首诗,无缘无故就没了,第二页还没看完,又有两处直接漏掉,译文风格暂且不说,本来很细微感触的东西都变成了套话,其他的众看官慢慢发现吧,难怪我发现这伙...
评分神作……
评分好多想法跟我一样啊,伤感!
评分下一本應該要來讀個輕鬆一點的科幻小說,這本真的太難啃,跟 The Quantum Thief 一樣,作者完全就是個設定控,他們不解釋!
评分还不错。小说抹黑自由意志,但其中反自由意志的论述又不是特别让人信服。
评分[SFWT]彼得·沃茨全方位坚硬。论文感语言,世界观在前故事在后,如星点般闪耀的硬核,击垮心理学防线。2011年当头一棒。
