为什么值得读
- 跳出常见网络设定,展现生化科技主导的世界
- 聚焦发条储能、资源匮乏与农业垄断控制
- 摆脱日本风主导,生动描绘独特的异域奇幻感
当 bio-terrorism 沦为谋取企业利润的工具时会发生什么?而当这种 bio-terrorism 将人类推向 post-human 演化的边缘时又会如何?在 The Windup Girl 中,屡获殊荣的作家 Paolo Bacigalupi 重返 The Calorie Man(2006 年 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award 得主、Hugo Award 提名作品)与 Yellow Card Man(2007 年 Hugo Award 提名作品)的世界,以解答这些问题。

有一本很棒的科幻小说,保罗·巴奇加卢皮(Paolo Bacigalupi)的《发条女孩》(The Windup Girl),背景设定在一个后石油时代的世界,人们像现在给钟表上发条一样,用紧绷的弹簧来储存能量。其中一条支线讲的是一个角色试图研发一种材料来……
There's a great sci-fi novel, The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi, set in a post-oil world where tightly wound springs are used to store energy, as we do now with clocks. One of the subplots deals with a character trying to develop a material that…
……但那并不是明确关于核战争的。而且对我来说太绝望了,我很难说自己读得开心。一本更好、也是我最近很心水的一部关于资源匮乏和粮食危机的科幻小说,是保罗·巴奇加卢皮的《发条女孩》。它也不是讲核战争的,但不仅故事本身引人入胜,还重点探讨了能量是如何产生和储存的、人们吃什么,以及粮食是如何运送到……
…explicitly about nuclear war, however. It's also way too hopeless for me. I can't say I enjoyed reading it. A better -- and recent favorite of mine -- sci-fi book about scarce resources and food is "The Windup Girl" by Paolo Bacigalupi. It's not about nuclear war either, but not only is the actual story very engaging, it focuses on how energy is generated and stored, what people eat, and how food is delivered in…
……确实有日本文化的影响。——完全无关的题外话,关于在西方流行文化/朋克语境下对幻想亚洲的有趣刻画:生物朋克(biopunk)子流派的扛鼎之作——巴奇加卢皮的《发条女孩》,故事背景设定在未来的曼谷。我从没去过泰国,评价不了这到底写得拙劣与否,但这确实是一个有趣的尝试,摆脱了那种被日本文化主导的……
…Japanese influence, yes. - On a completely separate note, re interesting depictions of fantasy-Asia in a Western popculture/punk context: The headlining novel of the biopunk subgenre, Bacigalupi's "The Windup Girl", is set in a future Bangkok. I've never been to Thailand and can't comment on how ham-fisted or not this may be, but it was also an interesting step away from the Japanese culture-dominated vibes of…
> 每当我不知道接下来读啥的时候,总觉得这个书单超级有用。同感——我最近就是这么淘到保罗·巴奇加卢皮的《发条女孩》的;读得非常过瘾,强烈推荐。
> I always find this list tremendously useful when I don't know what to read next. Likewise - This is how I recently found 'The Windup Girl' by Paolo Bacigalupi; thoroughly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.
如果你对“生物科技压倒赛博科技”的科幻题材感兴趣,《发条女孩》是部绝佳之作。而且也切合这篇帖子的主题。它设定在一个后碳时代的曼谷反乌托邦世界,巨大的农业垄断巨头通过控制粮食供应来称霸世界,甚至包括攻击性的……
If you're interested in sci-fi where biotech trumps cybertech, The Windup Girl is a great read. Relevant to the article, too. It's set in a post-carbon dystopian Bangkok, where giant agribusiness monopolies dominate the world through control of the food supply, including offensive…
我直接来推一手 Paolo Bacigalupi 的《水刀》(The Water Knife)。他的《发条女孩》(The Windup Girl)更棒,不过跟当前话题无关。
Going to go ahead and recommend Paolo Bacigalupi's The Water Knife. And The Windup Girl is even better, but not on topic.
