具体描述
The book starts out like the setup for some punny science fiction joke: An alien walks into a museum and asks if he can see a paleontologist. But the arachnid ET hasn't come aboard a rowboat with the Pope and Stephen Hawking (although His Holiness does request an audience later). Landing at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the spacefarer (named Hollus) asks to compare notes on mass extinctions with resident dino-scientist Thomas Jericho. A shocked Jericho finds that not only does life exist on other planets, but that every civilization in the galaxy has experienced extinction events at precisely the same time. Armed with that disconcerting information (and a little help from a grand unifying theory), the alien informs Jericho, almost dismissively, that "the primary goal of modern science is to discover why God has behaved as he has and to determine his methods."

读后感
计算中的上帝，Calculating God。罗伯特`索耶，我以前不知道这位作者。不过书却是很好看的，于我，阅读的流畅度和快感，当在星船伞兵之上。书中多次提到一些事例，以证明这个宇宙的许多常数，增一分则太多，减一分则太少。虽然是借外星人之口娓娓道来，而不是自然而然的发生在...
评分46是个奇妙的数字。 在恢宏巨著《计算中的上帝》单行本中，伟大的博物学家罗伯特.J.索耶描述了一个与人类迥异的外星智慧种族——Wreeds，这一族的眼睛长成了360度的一圈。对生物来说，眼睛的结构影响着它们认知世界和自身的方式，从而在最根源就决定了它们的思维。 以多物体...
评分据说很多人都不喜欢这本仅仅“惜败”于哈里波特的书，这本书说实在的确实没有多少票房吸引力，题材类似〈第三类接触〉一类的外星人交往小说，缺少新奇感，又偏重于和外星人探讨人生，习俗，技术，宇宙规律一类偏硬的东西，人类主角不过是个不怎么得志的中年学究，其实看得有点...

2015年第一本，北师大回来之后重读此书，能不感慨。这也是我读过的第一本原著。为了恢复英语水平，每天20页，不再为了学英语而看原著了。纯粹是享受。

评分天马行空的魄力，一口气读完才畅快；埋下的哲学包袱没能抖出深度，是佳作不是杰作。
评分"Have you ever thought about the future? I mean the far future——thousands, or even millions, of years from now."
评分Too Canadian... Blame Canada!
