- 探讨拥有永生权力的主题
一个人类殖民地被 First Colonists（即1000年前带他们来到新家园的星舰船员）所征服。他们掌控了古老科技，并通过神一般的心灵感应力量与实质上的永生强化了自身。他们采用古老印度教的全套仪轨，以其神祇的身份生活，在原始文明的伪装下被先进科技所环绕。我们的主角 Sam，尚未准备好去对抗天城（Celestial City）的残暴势力——该势力已与其前妻结盟，而他的前妻如今正是狂喜的毁灭女神 Kali。一个关于

……出自：斯坦尼斯瓦夫·莱姆（《Cyberiad》、《Futurological Congress》、《Solaris》）、阿尔弗雷德·贝斯特（《The Stars My Destination》、《The Demolished Man》）或萨缪尔·R·德拉尼（《Babel-17》、《Dhalgren》、《Triton》、《Nova》），噢，还有罗杰·泽拉兹尼的《Lord of Light》和《This Immortal》都很棒。菲利普·K·迪克的一些作品很神，但人人都在推他。:) 差点忘了约翰·布鲁纳，去看看《Steel Beach》、《The Sheep Look Up》和《Stand on Zanzibar》。
…by: Stanislaw Lem (Cyberiad, Futurological Congress, Solaris) Alfred Bester (The STars my Destination, The Demolished Man) or Samuel R. Delany (Babel-17, Dhalgren, Trtion, Nova) oh and Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light and This Immortal are both great. Some of Philip K. Dick's stuff is great, but everyone recommends him. :) almost forgot John Brunner, check out Steel Beach, The Sheep Look Up, and Stand on Zanzibar.
《Lord of Light》写得太牛了。后劲也非常大——信息密度高、隐喻丰富且极具诗意。对于刚看完乔治·R·R·马丁想拓宽口味的人来说，它大概不适合作为接触泽拉兹尼的第一部作品。
Lord of Light is brilliant. It is also very strong stuff - dense, metaphorical, and poetic. It should probably not be the first Zelazny of anyone who's just branching out from GRRM.
泽拉兹尼的《Lord of Light》。这书真的是另一个层维度的存在，我太喜欢那种佛教、印度教元素与科技相结合的感觉了。
Lord of Light by Zelazny. It's on another level really and I love the Buddhist, Hindu influence combined with the technology.
我真看不出那篇文章里的加速主义和《Lord of Light》里的用法有什么关系。尽管借用了印度教背景，但那绝对不是一本讲哲学/政治的书。在我看来这是泽拉兹尼最好的书，你大可去读——它和《卫报》那篇……基本扯不上半毛钱关系。
I really don't see what the article's accelerationism has to do with the notion as used in Lord of Light. In spite of the Hindu religion references, that is definitely not a philosophy/politics book. It is Zelazny's best book in my opinion, and you can read it - it has little to nothing to do with the Guardian's…
……以及《Everything》。（道格拉斯·亚当斯就是那种人，他随口抖的一个包袱就能凝练一整个系列的哲学小说。）关于长生不老是“不容置疑的人权”这一观点：推荐罗杰·泽拉兹尼的《Lord of Light》。你可能得读完大半本才能明白我在说什么，但一定要读下去。神作一部。
…and Everything. (Douglas Adams is one of those guys whose every throwaway joke encapsulates an entire series of philosophical novels.) On the "unquestioned human right" to immortality: Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light. You may have to read most of it before it becomes clear what I'm talking about, but keep reading. It's an awesome work.
给《Amber》+1。泽拉兹尼的其他大部分作品也很好。其实我更喜欢《Lord Of Light》，虽然它门槛稍微高一点（具体来说就是我在真正看进去之前，拿起来又放下了好几次）。
+1 for Amber. Much of the rest of Zelazny is good, too. I actually like Lord Of Light better, though it's a bit less approachable (in the specific sense that I picked it up and put it down a few times before getting into it).
