From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the heavens above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality... Chiang's rigorously imagined stories invite us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
Ted Chiang is an American speculative fiction writer. His Chinese name is Chiang Feng-nan. He graduated from Brown University with a Computer Science degree. He currently works as a technical writer in the software industry and resides in Bellevue, near Seattle, Washington. He is a graduate of the noted Clarion Writers Workshop (1989).
Although not a prolific author, having published only eleven short stories as of 2009, Chiang has to date won a string of prestigious speculative fiction awards for his works: a Nebula Award for "Tower of Babylon" (1990), the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1992, a Nebula Award and the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award for "Story of Your Life" (1998), a Sidewise Award for "Seventy-Two Letters" (2000), a Nebula Award, Locus Award and Hugo Award for his novelette "Hell Is the Absence of God" (2002), a Nebula and Hugo Award for his novelette "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" (2007), and a British Science Fiction Association Award, a Locus Award, and the Hugo Award for Best Short Story for "Exhalation" (2009).
Chiang turned down a Hugo nomination for his short story "Liking What You See: A Documentary" in 2003, on the grounds that the story was rushed due to editorial pressure and did not turn out as he had really wanted.
Chiang's first eight stories are collected in "Stories of Your Life, and Others" (1st US hardcover ed: ISBN 0-7653-0418-X; 1st US paperback ed.: ISBN 0-7653-0419-8). His novelette "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate" was also published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
As of 2013, his short fiction has won four Nebula Awards, three Hugo Awards, the John W Campbell Award, three Locus Awards, the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and the Sidewise Award. He has never written a novel but is one of the most decorated science fiction writers currently working.
The one of the very few books I would read multiple times.
评分The one of the very few books I would read multiple times.
评分没有对科幻感的刻意追求,感觉是以美学价值为核心价值构建起来的故事,阅读体验极佳,弥漫着一种温柔而飘渺的气氛。选材范围广,且不拘一格,然对于期待硬核科幻的读者来说可能有些confusing。the story of your life氛围上优于电影版,后者的基调有点向死而生的凉薄;叙述上则略显含糊了,两者都可以看一看。20181011:看完了understand,原来以为是一个人智能不断升级最后发现自己的思维是被高层智慧编写的的故事,没想到是一个把自己聪明死了的故事……仿佛一个普通用户升级成root用户之后 觉得现有系统无法满足需求 于是reprogram了自己然后闯进了自己的系统后门 开启自杀指令gg的全过程,荒诞又真实
评分鉴于我可能一时半会不能把一生的故事整本读完,来单独标记这一篇。很多精巧的设计电影里很可惜没能展现,短小精悍,越回味越美妙。
评分点子是不错,故事没有想象中那么完整……Division by Zero还挺像麦克尤恩的
The stories are really interesting. Actually I hope that some of these ideas can be extended into full-length novels. Understand, Story of your life, Liking what you see a documentary and Hell is the absence of God are the stories I like the most, which are...
