具体描述
Two months have past since a myriad of alien objects clenched about the Earth, screaming as they burned. The heavens have been silent since--until a derelict space probe hears whispers from a distant comet. Something talks out there: but not to us.
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...

读后感
不算是啥书评吧，自是看完后的思考而已。 上午上课时把它看完了就一直在想意识的问题。中午也查了一些别人评价，就这样带着思索午休了·。 睡觉不想起来，可能是被生活习惯拖累了吧，也许只是变懒了。睡觉的时候一直在想盲视，唉╯﹏╰…… 人...
评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...
评分 评分本书评又名《818吸血鬼与船长之间不可告人的关系》 有几个问题让我困惑，结尾处船长的出现意味着什么，另外吸血鬼本身是否有自主意识？这两个问题是否是同一个问题？让我们先放在一边，从头说起。 萨拉斯第是飞船的指挥官，但这是一份费力不讨好的活儿。萨拉斯第与船员的隔阂，...

“深不可测”这个tag神了，软硬两块都相当内涵，hardcore程度简直发指，就冲着科学和哲学结合得非常紧密这点（前者为表后者为里），硬啃下来就绝对物超所值。另，其实我觉得这书比三体要强。
评分Really remarkable - one of the best SF books I've read in some time.
评分原版读起来巨费劲，但还是读完了。2010年之后读过的最好的科幻。
评分什么时候还是搞一本原文来看看……说什么能和黑暗森林相比，黑暗森林和这个比就是渣呀，渣……
评分看完了译文（SFW译文版2011年1月号，胡纾译）……重看后的书评也写好了 见此：http://book.douban.com/review/5202120/
