Calculating God is the new near-future SF thriller from the popular and award-winning Robert J. Sawyer. An alien shuttle craft lands outside the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. A six-legged, two-armed alien emerges, who says, in perfect English, "Take me to a paleontologist." It seems that Earth, and the alien's home planet, and the home planet of another alien species traveling on the alien mother ship, all experienced the same five cataclysmic events at about the same time (one example of these "cataclysmic events" would be the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs). Both alien races believe this proves the existence of God: i.e. he's obviously been playing with the evolution of life on each of these planets.From this provocative launch point, Sawyer tells a fast-paced, and morally and intellectually challenging, SF story that just grows larger and larger in scope. The evidence of God's universal existence is not universally well received on Earth, nor even immediately believed. And it reveals nothing of God's nature. In fact. it poses more questions than it answers.When a supernova explodes out in the galaxy but close enough to wipe out life on all three home-worlds, the big question is, Will God intervene or is this the sixth cataclysm:?Calculating God is SF on the grand scale.
计算中的上帝,Calculating God。罗伯特`索耶,我以前不知道这位作者。不过书却是很好看的,于我,阅读的流畅度和快感,当在星船伞兵之上。书中多次提到一些事例,以证明这个宇宙的许多常数,增一分则太多,减一分则太少。虽然是借外星人之口娓娓道来,而不是自然而然的发生在...
评分 评分印象最深刻的就是索耶接触的这个女外星人能够自己直接跟自己对视:左眼看着右眼,右眼看着左眼,两只眼睛对视了一下。当然,接下来必然是:相视一笑,心领神会。 在外星人这个问题上,我觉得难题之一是设想外星人是什么样子。除了Lovecraft,很多人设想出来的外星人都是地球上...
评分 评分输给哈利波特,是我的话也挺不平
评分结尾差强人意,前面大篇幅的对话还是很好看的。这书有些年数了吧,如果当时就看不知道会不会有开脑洞的感觉。近年科普科幻看得多,就觉得有些中规中矩了。
评分英文版没看过,但是中文版的确是体验非凡啊
评分General science in disguise of a SciFi.
评分如果不是哈里波特,雨果奖就是它的了。可怜的罗伯特·J·索耶.
