The book starts out like the setup for some punny science fiction joke: An alien walks into a museum and asks if he can see a paleontologist. But the arachnid ET hasn't come aboard a rowboat with the Pope and Stephen Hawking (although His Holiness does request an audience later). Landing at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the spacefarer (named Hollus) asks to compare notes on mass extinctions with resident dino-scientist Thomas Jericho. A shocked Jericho finds that not only does life exist on other planets, but that every civilization in the galaxy has experienced extinction events at precisely the same time. Armed with that disconcerting information (and a little help from a grand unifying theory), the alien informs Jericho, almost dismissively, that "the primary goal of modern science is to discover why God has behaved as he has and to determine his methods."

Too Canadian... Blame Canada!
评分2015年第一本,北师大回来之后重读此书,能不感慨。这也是我读过的第一本原著。为了恢复英语水平,每天20页,不再为了学英语而看原著了。纯粹是享受。

索耶的小说真的可以称作是幻想科学,在少量幻想的基础上,通过严格的逻辑推理,得到非比寻常的结论。这本书绝对称得上是硬科幻的经典之作了。故事很简单,作者娓娓道来,科学观和价值理念润物细无声。 ps,我对这本书中的生命游戏程序很感兴趣,写了一段matlab代码,可以直接...
评分据说很多人都不喜欢这本仅仅“惜败”于哈里波特的书,这本书说实在的确实没有多少票房吸引力,题材类似〈第三类接触〉一类的外星人交往小说,缺少新奇感,又偏重于和外星人探讨人生,习俗,技术,宇宙规律一类偏硬的东西,人类主角不过是个不怎么得志的中年学究,其实看得有点...
评分这是我来上海后唯一看完的一本书,小说的前面部分远比后面的精彩,到了本小说真正幻的部分,我居然开始兴味索然。 显然作者是个比较有野心的家伙:P,他在大部分地方垒出了不少资料,说得如此证据确凿,仿佛我看的并不是一部小说,而是那杆“正在冒烟的枪”,比方很多“证据”...

评分作为科幻,这本书的idea并不新鲜。它好就好在三观端正。这才是在写小说。从细节里所看到的是真正的,值得尊敬的科学家,有好奇心、尊严、同时也是脆弱的人。外星人并不是都是来侵略的,去他x的侵略,去他x的先见政府首脑,我们只是来地球看一看化石,为了好奇心。好奇心是什么...
