畅销且屡获殊荣的未来学家 David Brin 携 Existence 重返席卷全球的 high concept SF 领域。Gerald Livingstone 是一名轨道垃圾清理工。一百年来,人们不断将物品遗弃在太空中,总得有人去清理。但某个物体的运转轨道比他预期的略高,且并未记录在数十年前的轨道运行图上。在他将其捕获并带回一小时后,关于“alien artifact”(外星文物)的传言便席卷了地球的 infomesh。被卷入全球共享体验的漩涡之中,这件 Artifact 彻底改变了局势。它是一封漂流瓶中的信;

《去当个魔法师吧》(Off to be the wizard)挺轻松搞笑的。《最后约翰死了》(John dies at the end)也很有趣,不算正经科幻,风格更偏《吸血鬼猎人巴菲》。大卫·布林的《存在》(Existence)里的好点子多到让我恶心反胃。稍微有一点点过时,但极为精明。《火星救援》我猜你肯定读过了。痛快的好书,读着顺畅。让我想起了迈克尔·克莱顿。《世界……
"Off to be the wizard" is pretty light and fun. "John dies at the end" was fun, not really sci-fi, more buffy the vampire slayer esque. "Existence" by David Brin made me want to puke it had so many good ideas. A tiny bit dated, but very smart. "The Martian" I expect you've read it. Good romp, easy to read. Reminded me of a Michael Crichton. "World…
大卫·布林的《存在》是一部优秀的300页小说,却硬生生裹进了一部500页的小说里,中间还夹杂着两百页自我陶醉的垃圾。如果你擅长跳着略过烂内容(起步操作就是忽略那些博客帖子风格的段落),……
David Brin's Existence is an excellent 300-page novel hiding in a 500-page novel amid a couple of hundred pages of self-indulgent garbage. If you're good at skipping over junk (for starters, ignore the blog-post styled sections),…
……(假设你已经读过阿西莫夫的《基地》系列了)弗诺·文奇的《深渊上的火》、大卫·温格罗夫的《中道》、安·莱基的《辅助正义》、拉里·尼文的《中子星》、大卫·布林的《存在》、弗兰克·赫伯特的《多萨迪实验》、波尔和康布鲁斯的《太空商人》、卡尔·施罗德的《众日之日》、克利福德·西马克的《地球上的所有陷阱》、本·博瓦的《火的考验》、《钻石……
…(assuming you have already read Asimov's Foundation series) A Fire Upon the Deep - Vernor Vinge Chung Kuo, the Middle Kingdom - David Wingrove Ancillary Justice - Ann Leckie Neutron Star - Larry Niven Existence - David Brin The Dosadi Experiment - Frank Herbert The Space Merchants - Pohl and Kornbluth Sun of Suns - Karl Schroeder All the Traps of Earth - Clifford Simak Test of Fire - Ben Bova The Diamond…
……靠得非常近。我发现它们通篇都有一个很有意思的主题,就是关于真相与操纵的作用。我不推荐三体那几部续集。如果你喜欢宏大格局的太空歌剧,大卫·布林的《存在》和斯蒂芬·巴克斯特的《超越》(Exultant)要更好。
…close together. I find they have an interesting theme throughout regarding the role of truth and manipulation. I would not recommend the sequels to 3 body problem. If you like big picture space opera, Existence by David Brin and Exultant by Stephen Baxter are better.
你读过大卫·布林的《存在》吗?里面关于 AI 的好内容可多了。
Have you read Existence by David Brin, it has a lot of great AI stuff in it.
……死掉,而且绝对能派出发射自主运行的机器人探测器。当你不再会老死的时候,8年的往返时间(甚至更久)突然就不觉得有多长了。顺便说句,在小说领域,要是你感兴趣的话推荐读读大卫·布林的《存在》,跟这个话题挺有渊源的 :)
…die off, and could certainly send autonomous robot probes. When you don't die anymore, 8 years roundtrip (or more) suddenly doesn't seem so long. BTW in the fiction arena, I suggest reading David Brin "Existence" if you're so inclined which is related to this :)
