Two months have past since a myriad of alien objects clenched about the Earth, screaming as they burned. The heavens have been silent since--until a derelict space probe hears whispers from a distant comet. Something talks out there: but not to us.
Who you do send to meet the alien
when the alien doesn't want to meet?
You send a linguist with multiple personalities carved surgically into her brain. You send
a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultra-
sound, so compromised by grafts and splices he no longer feels his own flesh. You
send a pacifist warrior whose career-defining moment was an act of treason. You
send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called
vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics
and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist — an
informational topologist with half his mind gone — as an
interface between here and there, a conduit through
which the Dead Center might hope to understand
the Bleeding Edge.
You send them all to the edge of interstellar space, praying you
can trust such freaks and retrofits with the fate of a world.
You fear they may be more alien than the thing they've
been sent to find.
But you'd give anything for that to be true, if you
only knew what was waiting for them...
**某下载link已补,谢谢Sun童鞋提醒 这个书评(或许只是重述)想写很久了。之前翻译了一段谈及小说中心的作者后记(http://book.douban.com/review/5103041/),然后又耽搁了一段时间;到现在终于写完,已经忘了小说是看到第几遍了。 实话说,关于“自我意识与智慧”的话题,...
评分 评分 评分“深不可测”这个tag神了,软硬两块都相当内涵,hardcore程度简直发指,就冲着科学和哲学结合得非常紧密这点(前者为表后者为里),硬啃下来就绝对物超所值。另,其实我觉得这书比三体要强。
评分totally mind-blowing! 这技术水准真是高啊
评分想象让stanislaw lem来写异形。
评分设定很有新意,故事偏无趣。
评分几年以来读过最喜欢的小说之一。我已经开启了安利模式。
