Megapopular writer John Scalzi's Whatever blog is often described as one of the few websites with a readable comments section, thanks to his strict policy of culling offensive posts — a process he refers to as "wielding the Mallet of Loving Correction." He's also known for posting oddly manipulated photos of himself and putting bacon on his cat. He writes novels, too, such as the Hugo-nominated Old Man's War, about elderly citizens given fresh young bodies and sent into space to fight aliens.
Scalzi is at heart a humorist — his novel The Android's Dream opens with a chapter-long fart joke — though the difficulties of marketing humorous science fiction have often caused publishers to downplay that. But Redshirts, which is being advertised as a Star Trek parody, may signal that Scalzi has achieved a profile sufficient enough to be beyond such worries. Redshirts concerns low-ranking crew members aboard an interstellar starship who start to notice a disturbing pattern — folks like themselves never seem to make it home safe from alien worlds, whereas high-ranking officers always seem strangely untouched by the danger.
请想象一下这样的世界设定:你每天看起来都是正常地生活,你所遇到的事情,似乎大部分是偶然发生的。而其实你只是某个作家笔下的配角,你身上所发生的事情,都是既定的,你的使命是完成推动主角重要剧情的发展之后,你就会从作家的笔下消失——因为你已经没有存在的必要了。 当...
评分元科幻是我个人的一个阅读兴趣(见我编的虚拟选集《中国元科幻小说精选集》),现在逐步发展为写作兴趣了(见豆瓣阅读《辛辞柳的魔幻世界》)。当然也可以说我原创能力缺乏,只能玩玩小圈子元科幻,一不小心还容易玩脱了。 斯卡尔齐呢?其实国外科幻迷早有人看穿斯卡尔齐原创...
评分当仔细地研究过小说第二十四章的每一个词后,我合上书,心想:什么?这小说离雨果奖的距离应该是《星际迷航·航海家号》第一季第二集时航海家号与地球之间的距离啊,怎么就得奖了呢?等看完了三章尾声,才发现,航海家号七年时间回地球靠的是主角光环,而在我还不承认所处...
评分 评分关于"龙套"翻身做”主角“这个题材的小说,这些年晋江文学原创网提供了很多,包括邪魅男主的盛行,到还珠同人皇后党崛起,再到庶嫡之战中庶子行情暴涨的局面,人们似乎厌倦了常规的主角模式,这多多少少也因为随着经济文化发展,大众心理产生了更加强烈的公平感。王侯将相宁有...
哈哈哈哈根本停不下来 各种太空歌剧cliché神展开超级脑洞 论搞笑目前为止排第二(第一是good omens妥妥的~)
评分一个不成熟的梗扯一本,第一次对Scalzi的控制力有一丝失望
评分轻松有趣又聪明,旧题目写出新意,特别好看!不管是不是科幻迷,这本书都是很好的休闲读物。书中的对话模式和语气都非常熟悉,典型的美式幽默,一边看一边就能在脑内把场景和对话演出来……搞得我一直在怀疑Scalzi本职是不是编剧,但似乎并不是……
评分There's a word for such a thing: "Impossible."
评分this is all meta and recursive. 四星但减分在1)这个作者的所有角色说话风格都好相像 2)最后四分之一是凑字数吗
