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.
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.
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...
評分 評分《商人和炼金术士之门》:非常精彩的短篇,就像是从姜的经典小说沃土中,自然生长出的瑰丽花朵。Core Idea是经典的时间旅行,某种程度延续了《你一生的故事》中对“过去与未来”的讨论;故事的风格则继承了《巴别塔》“传说+科学”的迷人色彩。此外,既传统又现代的故事表现手...

還是很不捨地peruse式地讀完,看每篇寫作筆記也更是讓我無比珍惜,像是站在作者麵前聽他慢慢講起多年以來他知曉和思考的所有:無法改變的過去與對應的未來、熵與混亂、無意義的人生與嚮死、情感聯係與意識的形成、語言和和記憶的真實、宇宙起源和人性信仰、以及人為何是人
评分no。故事也許OK,文筆一般。
评分新加兩篇忒好,一篇喜概念,一篇喜道德
评分Ted Chiang 品質保證!
评分薑峯楠的這本科幻小說文集有點《黑鏡》的感覺。我最喜歡的是講穿越的Alchemist's Gate,養成電子寵物的The Lifecycle of Software Objects,記錄迴憶的The Truth of Fact/the Truth of Feeling,還有鸚鵡寫的The Great Silence。最後一篇我原來去年在亞洲文化協會的《尋林覓趣》展覽讀過,波多黎各藝術傢拍攝雨林中的鸚鵡,以及Arecibo天文颱,探討動物滅絕和科技的關係,字幕正是薑的這篇The Great Silence。“It's no coincidence that 'aspiration' means both hope and breathing...I speak, therefore I am."
