Neal Town Stephenson (born October 31, 1959) is an American writer, known for his speculative fiction works, which have been variously categorized science fiction, historical fiction, maximalism, cyberpunk, and postcyberpunk. Stephenson explores areas such as mathematics, cryptography, philosophy, currency, and the history of science. He also writes non-fiction articles about technology in publications such as Wired Magazine, and has worked part-time as an advisor for Blue Origin, a company (funded by Jeff Bezos) developing a manned sub-orbital launch system.
Born in Fort Meade, Maryland (home of the NSA and the National Cryptologic Museum) Stephenson came from a family comprising engineers and hard scientists he dubs "propeller heads". His father is a professor of electrical engineering whose father was a physics professor; his mother worked in a biochemistry laboratory, while her father was a biochemistry professor. Stephenson's family moved to Champaign-Urbana, Illinois in 1960 and then to Ames, Iowa in 1966 where he graduated from Ames High School in 1977. Stephenson furthered his studies at Boston University. He first specialized in physics, then switched to geography after he found that it would allow him to spend more time on the university mainframe. He graduated in 1981 with a B.A. in Geography and a minor in physics. Since 1984, Stephenson has lived mostly in the Pacific Northwest and currently resides in Seattle with his family.
Neal Stephenson is the author of the three-volume historical epic "The Baroque Cycle" (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World) and the novels Cryptonomicon, The Diamond Age, Snow Crash, and Zodiac. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years.
What would happen if the world were ending?
A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space.
But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . .
Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth.
A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.
母题:方舟困境 对于我这样对天文一无所知的读者来说,只能全盘接受设定,且让自己沉浸。 三部曲《月崩》、《漂流》、《归途》的命名平平无奇,许多科幻小说都可以套入这样的几步:入侵或崩解、逃离或抵抗、回归或重生。 有一些永恒的命题。 比如。如果真相很残酷并且无法更改...
评分其实不需要什么agent。月球被锁相,背对地球所受的引力比正对地球的引力来得小,天长日久积累的应力扯碎了月球,听上去就很合理嘛。 人类全灭只剩七女神,猜猜看她们叫什么名字? 必然是:路西法/雷维阿坦/撒旦/贝露菲格露/玛蒙/贝露赛布布/阿丝磨德乌丝 并没有 另外艾丽西...

拿起来就放不下…… 其实可以写一个系列的。
评分拿起来就放不下…… 其实可以写一个系列的。
评分part1和part2对hard rain, white sky的到来和人类的应对写的太有一种engineer's mindset的赶脚了,反倒是part3原本最让人期待的五千年后,却让人感觉一种“嘿,Neal,你简直就是在扯淡”的感觉。

评分看完了,很多细节描写非常美,比方cradle。科幻机械情节设定也非常独出心裁。但是我好像无法接受宇航人类会那么和平民主。存活下来的人类社会更像digger的可能性更大。//刚看到33%。好看,有一点点三体的设定,加上火星救援似的硬科幻和细节描写。。。原书里有没有图纸什么的啊!好多空间站的描述读的痛苦死了,就不能画张图吗?!
