具体描述
From an award-winning science fiction writer (whose short story "The Story of Your Life" was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated movie Arrival), the long-awaited new collection of stunningly original, humane, and already celebrated short stories
This much-anticipated second collection of stories is signature Ted Chiang, full of revelatory ideas and deeply sympathetic characters. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and the temptation of second chances. In the epistolary "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality. And in "The Lifecycle of Software Objects," a woman cares for an artificial intelligence over twenty years, elevating a faddish digital pet into what might be a true living being. Also included are two brand-new stories: "Omphalos" and "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom."
In this fantastical and elegant collection, Ted Chiang wrestles with the oldest questions on earth--What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human?--and ones that no one else has even imagined. And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning, and compassion.

读后感
人类替数码体做决定，确实就像父母给孩子规划人生，经验固然可以预测未来，但是在多大程度上，经验的有效性可以大过对自由意志的尊重和呵护？18岁只是写在纸上的一个数字。 另外，科幻的基石逻辑大抵是科技的发展或者架空。本篇二者兼有，借由科幻的外壳讨论的当然还是哲学的问...
评分我不太确定本书腰封上宝树所谓的“通向科幻的最深奥义”是什么，也不太明白封面“科幻的诗意”和“全新的逻辑”指的啥，更对封面介绍中“哲学的浪漫”这一短语不明所以。因为在我看来，科幻是一个外延和内涵都在不断变化的概念，我们很难指出其中有一个固定的本质。而我常将诗...
评分 评分先说一声，书是在豆瓣书店买的，赠送的书签真好用，镂空设计，夹在书里也不影响阅读。 才读完第一篇《商人与炼金术士之门》，已经决得物有所值。好故事无价。它让我对如何阅读小说，有了更清晰的认识。 阅读行为和其他事情一样，都有人经验世界的过程。 面对一个好故事，读者既...

Why do we remember the past not the future? 太好看了，新作只有两篇，但实在太喜欢最后一篇关于焦虑的文字。看完他的三本书着实让我长长的喘了口气，姜老师一如既往理性逻辑强且温柔，这点我要多跟他学习。我们这代人也许有机会观察和经历比以往更激烈和快速发展的周期，意味着机遇和挑战。最终我们会因为宇宙的引力自然而然的被流向一个不管现在想来合理或不合理的未来，一切不可测，唯有保持平静和学习的心态去经历每一个当下。

评分太好看了。中文版题目翻译的不好，不是呼吸，应该是大喘气，只呼了没吸。
评分Exhalation 本来就是我最喜欢姜老师的一篇，后面两篇翁法洛斯和焦虑是自由的眩晕是新篇，太期待了才买了原版来看，物超所值。姜老师的语言一如既往地理性，逻辑性也极强，因为那种详实的感受让故事背景可信。每一篇当中对社会人性的讨论都有有许多有趣的点，有的点感觉单独拿出来就能写一个短篇
评分果然我还是不适合看科幻。《三体》第一部看了一半没看明白，放弃。这本书，看了阿北推荐，就想看看试试。我评分前，这本书的评分是9.9。其实我想打三星半的，四星到不了。故事都还可以，都比较能引发人的思考。但在我看来，就是故事不够有趣，让我没有那种很想继续读下去的欲望。从这个角度来说，只有最后一个故事 Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom 的结尾是我觉得比较有趣或者有意思的。另外一个印象比较深的故事是 The lifecycle of software objects，也是很引人思考，但读起来真不觉得有意思，能印象深刻有一半是因为这篇真长。
