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...
Peter Watts lives in Toronto, Canada.

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...
評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...

totally mind-blowing! 這技術水準真是高啊
评分好多想法跟我一樣啊,傷感!
评分設定很有新意,故事偏無趣。
评分什麼時候還是搞一本原文來看看……說什麼能和黑暗森林相比,黑暗森林和這個比就是渣呀,渣……
