当年轻科学家 Larry Chao 找到一种通过环和未经授权的 Charon 周边区域来控制人造重力的方法时，他犯下了一个严重的错误。他让一个此前不为人知的名为 Charonians 的外星种族通过制造的虫洞将地球彻底抹去。故事通过两个截然不同的视角展开了精妙的叙述：未留在地球上的残存人类，以及地球的毁灭者——Charonians。

……依然不太好看，但至少你能避免像每次午饭发射时往Proton整流罩里硬塞20个穿宇航服的神风敢死队焊工、硬把ISS改造成太空拱门这种破事。顺便说一句，说到这个我推荐《The Ring of Charon》[0]以及它的续作。在这本书里，地球因为某项古老外星科技被误激活而突然消失了。接着整本书都在讲述这对高度发达但依然……造成的后果。
…Still not pretty, but at least you would avoid things like cramming 20 kamikaze welders in space suits inside a Proton fairing per lunch to turn ISS to a space arch. BTW, on this note I can recommend The Ring of Charon[0] and its follow-up books. In this case, its Earth suddenly vanishing due to some ancient alien technology being activated by mistake. The book then follows the consequences for the advanced but still…

……想搜关于这个爱好的资料，却在铺天盖地的广告软文里找不到直奔主题的内容。说到科幻小说预测信息海啸（info tsunami），罗杰·麦克布莱德·艾伦1990年的《The Ring of Charon》把它作为一个剧情推动点（不过除此之外这书写得不算特别好）。
…looking for information about the hobby can't find the straightforward content among all the advertising-laden copies. With regard to science-fiction predicting the info tsunami, Roger MacBride Allen’s The Ring of Charon from 1990 uses it as a plot point (but this is not otherwise a very good book).
稍微扯远一点，SF作家罗杰·麦克布莱德·艾伦在他的一部小说《The Ring of Charon》里提到了一个类似的概念作为背景设定。随着时间推移，我其实觉得这个想法越来越靠谱了。相关的摘录（也是书里唯一详细提到的一处）是：“……以及对知识崩溃（Knowledge Crash）的仇恨。如果你能……
Tangentially related, the SF author Roger McBride Allen mentions a similar concept as part of the backdrop of one of his novels, "The Ring of Charon". I actually find the idea more and more plausible as time goes on. The relevant excerpt (which is also the only detailed mention in the book) is: "... And hatred for the Knowledge Crash. If you could…
