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.
总结来说,我不太喜欢《呼吸》这本书,故事很碎,看得很累。一本书由很多小篇构成,而且每篇都不能称为一个完整独立的故事。有的觉得意犹未尽,有的觉得不明所以,有的真实得像一篇科普。一句话总结,就是不对味。 那为何会选择这本书呢?因为一是豆瓣2019年评分第一名,二是《...
評分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 評分去年的这个时候,我正在读刘慈欣的中篇小说。 在那个无忧虑的冬天,我和父母看了《流浪地球》,然后一同漫步在浦江边,愉快的打量这未被气候巨变摧毁的城市。——仿佛这已经过去了很久。而我现在却处在被疫情侵扰的氛围打量那个正常的城市。回到我们的Ted Chiang & Exhalat...
評分喜歡exhalation和第一篇,其他的沒有特彆觸動
评分在書店看到纔發現居然包括2019年的兩篇新作,立刻買下,迴傢讀完隻能說 Ted 那一套架空世界娓娓道來震碎三觀的風格真是越來越溜瞭,一齣手就是神作。。
评分一個多月之前看的。結尾的兩篇新作特彆棒。
评分page-turner.
评分還是很不捨地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
