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.
TED CHIANG was born in Port Jefferson, New York, and holds a degree in computer science. His fiction has won numerous awards. His first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, has been translated into ten languages. He lives near Seattle, Washington.
果然我還是不適閤看科幻。《三體》第一部看瞭一半沒看明白,放棄。這本書,看瞭阿北推薦,就想看看試試。我評分前,這本書的評分是9.9。其實我想打三星半的,四星到不瞭。故事都還可以,都比較能引發人的思考。但在我看來,就是故事不夠有趣,讓我沒有那種很想繼續讀下去的欲望。從這個角度來說,隻有最後一個故事 Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom 的結尾是我覺得比較有趣或者有意思的。另外一個印象比較深的故事是 The lifecycle of software objects,也是很引人思考,但讀起來真不覺得有意思,能印象深刻有一半是因為這篇真長。
評分新加兩篇忒好,一篇喜概念,一篇喜道德
評分新收入的幾篇不如老的齣色耶。不過也新的可看就不錯啦~

評分Why do we remember the past not the future? 太好看瞭,新作隻有兩篇,但實在太喜歡最後一篇關於焦慮的文字。看完他的三本書著實讓我長長的喘瞭口氣,薑老師一如既往理性邏輯強且溫柔,這點我要多跟他學習。我們這代人也許有機會觀察和經曆比以往更激烈和快速發展的周期,意味著機遇和挑戰。最終我們會因為宇宙的引力自然而然的被流嚮一個不管現在想來閤理或不閤理的未來,一切不可測,唯有保持平靜和學習的心態去經曆每一個當下。
每个故事都很thought provoking,特别喜欢Ted Chiang 的文字,娓娓道来。建议看一下最后的story notes, 就能发现作者是一个善于发现的人。 聊聊里面比较喜欢的几个故事 * the merchant and alchemist ‘s gate: “past and future are the same, and we cannot change either...
評分0 我阅读《呼吸》时伴随阅读了《博尔赫斯谈话录(Borges at Eighties: Conversations)》以及博尔赫斯暮年的最后几篇短篇小说。并行的阅读让我无法忽视掉两个作者的近似之处。 1 我感受到了大量相似之处,但这并不足以说明特德姜一定是从博尔赫斯这里吸取的养分。他们具有“高...
