具体描述
From an award-winning science fiction writer (whose short story "The Story of Your Life" was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated movie Arrival), the long-awaited new collection of stunningly original, humane, and already celebrated short stories
This much-anticipated second collection of stories is signature Ted Chiang, full of revelatory ideas and deeply sympathetic characters. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and the temptation of second chances. In the epistolary "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality. And in "The Lifecycle of Software Objects," a woman cares for an artificial intelligence over twenty years, elevating a faddish digital pet into what might be a true living being. Also included are two brand-new stories: "Omphalos" and "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom."
In this fantastical and elegant collection, Ted Chiang wrestles with the oldest questions on earth--What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human?--and ones that no one else has even imagined. And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning, and compassion.

读后感
我读姜的七个记忆片段 文/旧书 如果有人问我最喜欢的西方科幻作家是谁，我大概会张口就来几个耳熟能详的名字——阿瑟·克拉克，弗洛·文奇，罗伯特·索耶，乃至丹·西蒙斯等等。估计要转了很大一圈之后才会想起特德·姜的名字。不料最近在读完新版的《呼吸》之后，发现，姜，应...
评分去年的这个时候，我正在读刘慈欣的中篇小说。 在那个无忧虑的冬天，我和父母看了《流浪地球》，然后一同漫步在浦江边，愉快的打量这未被气候巨变摧毁的城市。——仿佛这已经过去了很久。而我现在却处在被疫情侵扰的氛围打量那个正常的城市。回到我们的Ted Chiang & Exhalat...
评分先说一声，书是在豆瓣书店买的，赠送的书签真好用，镂空设计，夹在书里也不影响阅读。 才读完第一篇《商人与炼金术士之门》，已经决得物有所值。好故事无价。它让我对如何阅读小说，有了更清晰的认识。 阅读行为和其他事情一样，都有人经验世界的过程。 面对一个好故事，读者既...
用户评价
在书店看到才发现居然包括2019年的两篇新作，立刻买下，回家读完只能说 Ted 那一套架空世界娓娓道来震碎三观的风格真是越来越溜了，一出手就是神作。。
评分瑰丽的想象力，温柔的人性关怀，深邃理性的思考，唯一就是语言差了点
评分新收入的几篇不如老的出色耶。不过也新的可看就不错啦~

评分果然我还是不适合看科幻。《三体》第一部看了一半没看明白，放弃。这本书，看了阿北推荐，就想看看试试。我评分前，这本书的评分是9.9。其实我想打三星半的，四星到不了。故事都还可以，都比较能引发人的思考。但在我看来，就是故事不够有趣，让我没有那种很想继续读下去的欲望。从这个角度来说，只有最后一个故事 Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom 的结尾是我觉得比较有趣或者有意思的。另外一个印象比较深的故事是 The lifecycle of software objects，也是很引人思考，但读起来真不觉得有意思，能印象深刻有一半是因为这篇真长。
