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
《商人和炼金术士之门》：非常精彩的短篇，就像是从姜的经典小说沃土中，自然生长出的瑰丽花朵。Core Idea是经典的时间旅行，某种程度延续了《你一生的故事》中对“过去与未来”的讨论；故事的风格则继承了《巴别塔》“传说+科学”的迷人色彩。此外，既传统又现代的故事表现手...
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...
