Neal Town Stephenson (born October 31, 1959) is an American writer, known for his speculative fiction works, which have been variously categorized science fiction, historical fiction, maximalism, cyberpunk, and postcyberpunk. Stephenson explores areas such as mathematics, cryptography, philosophy, currency, and the history of science. He also writes non-fiction articles about technology in publications such as Wired Magazine, and has worked part-time as an advisor for Blue Origin, a company (funded by Jeff Bezos) developing a manned sub-orbital launch system.
Born in Fort Meade, Maryland (home of the NSA and the National Cryptologic Museum) Stephenson came from a family comprising engineers and hard scientists he dubs "propeller heads". His father is a professor of electrical engineering whose father was a physics professor; his mother worked in a biochemistry laboratory, while her father was a biochemistry professor. Stephenson's family moved to Champaign-Urbana, Illinois in 1960 and then to Ames, Iowa in 1966 where he graduated from Ames High School in 1977. Stephenson furthered his studies at Boston University. He first specialized in physics, then switched to geography after he found that it would allow him to spend more time on the university mainframe. He graduated in 1981 with a B.A. in Geography and a minor in physics. Since 1984, Stephenson has lived mostly in the Pacific Northwest and currently resides in Seattle with his family.
Neal Stephenson is the author of the three-volume historical epic "The Baroque Cycle" (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World) and the novels Cryptonomicon, The Diamond Age, Snow Crash, and Zodiac. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Reamde, and Cryptonomicon comes an exciting and thought-provoking science fiction epic—a grand story of annihilation and survival spanning five thousand years.
What would happen if the world were ending?
A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space.
But the complexities and unpredictability of human nature coupled with unforeseen challenges and dangers threaten the intrepid pioneers, until only a handful of survivors remain . . .
Five thousand years later, their progeny—seven distinct races now three billion strong—embark on yet another audacious journey into the unknown . . . to an alien world utterly transformed by cataclysm and time: Earth.
A writer of dazzling genius and imaginative vision, Neal Stephenson combines science, philosophy, technology, psychology, and literature in a magnificent work of speculative fiction that offers a portrait of a future that is both extraordinary and eerily recognizable. As he did in Anathem, Cryptonomicon, the Baroque Cycle, and Reamde, Stephenson explores some of our biggest ideas and perplexing challenges in a breathtaking saga that is daring, engrossing, and altogether brilliant.
其实不需要什么agent。月球被锁相,背对地球所受的引力比正对地球的引力来得小,天长日久积累的应力扯碎了月球,听上去就很合理嘛。 人类全灭只剩七女神,猜猜看她们叫什么名字? 必然是:路西法/雷维阿坦/撒旦/贝露菲格露/玛蒙/贝露赛布布/阿丝磨德乌丝 并没有 另外艾丽西...
評分作为曾经参与过某本史蒂芬森作品汉化的工作人员,读完《七夏娃》第一页我就意识到了这还是那熟悉的味道。极繁主义几乎已经成为史蒂芬森作品最显著的标签,在科幻作者里也许只有史蒂芬森如此话痨。史蒂芬森的作品就像一台航空发动机,揭开所有外盖,恨不得向读者展示所有细节。...
評分 評分 評分史詩級。Dhina見證的那些英雄們一個個死去的情節,讓我流淚不止。Ymir的六人壯舉,Sean孤獨的死撐到最後,Markus的神勇,日本核專傢獻身。。。就連Dhina的第一任男朋友對忍耐號的改造和自殺。。。都哭紅眼瞭。。。為什麼寫死他們啊?他們的基因多好啊,可惜瞭。。。五韆年後的那節情節不重要(想睡Beled),主要是看個作者對人類的力量抱有的篤定和情懷瞭。看的是英文版,長篇纍牘的細節把想象力榨乾瞭。
评分The hardest science fiction novel I have ever read. The plots can be tell by 10% of the book’s length, and the conceptual settings and technical details take another 90%, two thirds of which can be reduced by illustrations.
评分看完瞭,很多細節描寫非常美,比方cradle。科幻機械情節設定也非常獨齣心裁。但是我好像無法接受宇航人類會那麼和平民主。存活下來的人類社會更像digger的可能性更大。//剛看到33%。好看,有一點點三體的設定,加上火星救援似的硬科幻和細節描寫。。。原書裏有沒有圖紙什麼的啊!好多空間站的描述讀的痛苦死瞭,就不能畫張圖嗎?!
评分part1和part2對hard rain, white sky的到來和人類的應對寫的太有一種engineer's mindset的趕腳瞭,反倒是part3原本最讓人期待的五韆年後,卻讓人感覺一種“嘿,Neal,你簡直就是在扯淡”的感覺。
评分喜歡硬科幻的,推薦這本。期待電影或劇。
