为什么值得读

  • 作者具备扎实深厚的真实物理功底
  • 仅改动一条物理定律推导全书设定
  • 硬核构想四维无时间维度世界

一群奇异的流星进入了一个行星系统,一个世界危在旦夕。来自这个世界的太空旅行者能否穿越时空,并及时带回化解灾难所需的技术?这是 Orthogonal 三部曲的第一部,记录了旅行者们执行这一使命的历程。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 刚读完 Greg Egan 的《发条火箭》(The Clockwork Rocket)。这里的每个人都真该去看看他的作品。

    Just finished Clockwork Rocket by Greg Egan. Anyone here needs to check out their work.

  • ……高中以后就没再学过物理了。哪怕在科幻小说界,认真对待物理学的作者也是凤毛麟角。如果你想看真正懂物理的人写出来的书,去读读 Greg Egan 的《发条火箭》(The Clockwork Rocket)吧。他改动了一条简单的物理定律,推演了其对量子力学和相对论的影响,虚构了一套勉强说得通的生物学,并由此构建了一个世界,写了一整套书……

    …stopped taking physics in high school. Authors who take physics seriously are quite rare, even in the science fiction genre. If you want a book written by someone who knows some real physics, read The Clockwork Rocket by Greg Egan. He changed one simple law of physics, worked out the consequences for quantum mechanics and relativity, made up some plausible–enough biology, and wrote a series of books in the resulting…

  • ……而且科幻作家的情节编排和节奏把控烂透了,我宁愿他们偶尔借助套路,也别把读者活活闷死。Egan 最近的两本书《炽热》(Incandescence)和《发条火箭》(The Clockwork Rocket),如果你是个数理迷,读起来会非常过瘾。

    …and science fiction writers suck at plotting and pacing that I'd prefer they lean on crutches occasionally rather than bore their readers to death. Egan's two most recent books, Incandesence and The Clockwork Rocket, are great if you're a math and physics guy.

  • 我推荐 Greg Egan 的《Orthogonal》三部曲:《The Clockwork Rocket》、《The Eternal Flame》和《The Arrows of Time》。故事设定在一个没有类时间维度的有限四维宇宙里。

    I recommend Greg Egan's Orthogonal trilogy: The Clockwork Rocket, The Eternal Flame and The Arrows of Time. It features a finite four-dimensional universe with no time-like dimension.

  • 我自己读过的科幻里,还没有比 Egan 更硬核的(《发条火箭》就相当不错)。不过看楼主的评论,Egan 可能不太合胃口(但依然非常值得推荐)。

    Haven’t read anything more hard-sci-fi than Egan myself (Clockwork Rocket, quite good). From comments from the OP Egan may not suit (but very recommendable nevertheless)

  • 我很喜欢《置换城市》(Permutation City)。你读过 Egan 的《正交》(Orthogonal)系列吗?《发条火箭》(The Clockwork Rocket)简直颠覆了我的思维,感觉甚至比之前更硬核。

    I loved Permutation City. Have you read anything of the Orthogonal series by Egan? The Clockwork Rocket bent my mind and feels like harder sci-fi still.
