On the more general Vinge theme, his "True Names" novella is probably overlooked compared to his novels. But, along with Varley's "Press Enter" (written about the same time) is a really good early take on the "Net" and its intersection with the real world.
I forgot "Blood Music" was one of his. That along with "Press Enter" by John Varley are the two sci-fi stories that really freaked me out as a kid. The idea of having your body controlled and then rebuilt at the cellular/molecular level for the purposes of some emergent…
Definitely near the top of my list. The sequel wasn't in the same class but his "True Names" novella is seminal cyberpunk although it doesn't have all of Gibson's trappings. (Varley's "Press Enter" is in a similar vein and has been more anthologized; they're both really good.)
……在科幻背景下创作的最棒的恐怖作家。这个故事是少数几个把我吓得毛骨悚然、几十年后依然历历在目的科幻短篇之一。(约翰·瓦利的《按回车键 ■ / PRESS ENTER ■》是另一个。)
…best horror writer to have worked in a sci-fi milieu. This story is one of only a couple sci-fi short stories to creep me out enough that I still remember them vividly decades later. (John Varley's "PRESS ENTER ■" is another.)
我读过把这两者结合得最好的科幻小说是约翰·瓦利(John Varley)的《按回车键》(Press Enter)。强烈推荐。
The best sf story I've run into combining the two is John Varley's Press Enter. Highly recommended.
从更宽泛的文奇(Vinge)主题来说,相比他的长篇小说,他的中篇小说《真名实姓》(True Names)可能被低估了。不过,它与瓦利的《按回车键》(Press Enter,成书时间差不多)一样,都是早期对“网络”(Net)及其与现实世界交汇的极佳探讨。

我都忘了《血音乐》(Blood Music)也是他写的了。那篇和约翰·瓦利的《按回车键》(Press Enter)是我小时候真正被吓尿的两部科幻故事。身体被控制然后在细胞/分子层面上被重构,只为了某种涌现出来的……

很棒的书单。可惜没地方硬塞进一篇约翰·瓦利早期的故事了。或许《按回车键 _》(Press Enter _)可以。
Great list. It's too bad there wasn't room to squeeze an early John Varley story on there. Maybe Press Enter _.
绝对排在我书单的前列。续作不是一个档次的,但他的中篇《真名实姓》(True Names)绝对是赛博朋克的开山之作,尽管它没有吉布森那一套所有招牌元素。(瓦利的《按回车键》路子类似,被收录进选集的次数更多;两篇都非常精彩。)
