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...
《人类简史》其实是我很早以前就看过的,当时边看边呼好厉害好牛逼我要认赫拉利当爸爸,可是时间长了,学渣的脑力就显现出来了,现在要我回忆,我还真不太记得那些宏大的关系和骇人的论断。 倒是前段时间看了本科幻小说《盲视》,会让我时不时地想起《人类简史》。 《盲视》的...
评分一个假想:人类发明了ai。ai比人类强。而之后ai的系统在一次自我更新里发生了偏转。自动安装了名为【自我思维】的软件(病毒?),该软件运算量极大,会占用99.9%系统cpu,并且会和其它处理软件产生冲突乃至造成系统崩溃。因为这种病毒,ai变的和人类差不多弱小,但ai也获得了...
评分本书评又名《818吸血鬼与船长之间不可告人的关系》 有几个问题让我困惑,结尾处船长的出现意味着什么,另外吸血鬼本身是否有自主意识?这两个问题是否是同一个问题?让我们先放在一边,从头说起。 萨拉斯第是飞船的指挥官,但这是一份费力不讨好的活儿。萨拉斯第与船员的隔阂,...

评分想象一下,在地球几光年之外,你碰到了比人类更高的智慧存在,在不得不进行的一番较量后,你发现了人类的致命弱点竟是一直被人类引以自喜和反复赞颂的———人类进化出的自我意识————你认为它赋予了我们自由意志,让你成为了万物之灵。 想象一下,当你做一个有意识的选择,比如下...
设定很有新意,故事偏无趣。
评分看完了译文(SFW译文版2011年1月号,胡纾译)……重看后的书评也写好了 见此:http://book.douban.com/review/5202120/
评分设定很有新意,故事偏无趣。
评分分离意识和情绪难道不是常用的技巧吗?比如类似冥想。。 如果问意识在进化上有什么用的话,我的猜测是灵活性。意识是万能钥匙,虽然效率低,但可以解决一切问题。
