为什么值得读
- 极致展现后人类主义与人类物种分化
- 将赛博朋克构想拓展至两百年后未来

在遥远的未来，在一个被人类奇异文化集合体殖民的太阳系中，来自澄海环月企业共和国（Mare Serenitatis Circumlunar Corporate Republic）的叛逃外交官Abelard Lindsay，在争夺人类命运主导权的强大先进社会之间艰难求生。在这个被称为Schismatrix的复杂高科技世界里，控制论改造人（Mechanists）与经过心理和基因改造的Shapers展开霸权争夺；当今的高新技术演变出光怪陆离的新形态，科学的爆发式发展更将人类撕裂为交战阵营。Schismatr

我第一次产生类似的想法，是在布鲁斯·斯特林那部惊艳的科幻小说《分裂矩阵》（Schismatrix）里：“林赛瞥了一眼墙壁，看到自己氏族的创始人马尔科姆·林赛的肖像，顿时僵住了。小时候，那位逝去先驱的面孔带着祖传的智慧，居高临下地狞笑着……
I discovered a similar thought the first time in the amazing science fiction novel Schismatrix by Bruce Sterling: "Lindsay glanced at one wall and was paralyzed at the sight of his own clan's founder, Malcolm Lindsay. As a child, the dead pioneer's face, leering in ancestral wisdom from the tops…
……那种绝望无望的未来主题是不是有点老掉牙了，你懂的？我想郁闷的话，打开每日新闻就行了。顺便问一句，有人能推荐一些有希望的科幻吗？《Schismatrix》大概是我的最爱。
…bleak hopeless future theme is getting a bit long in the tooth, you know? If I want to feel depressed I can just turn on the daily news. Incidentally, can anyone recommend some hopeful science fiction? "Schismatrix" is probably my favorite.
……詹姆斯·伯克（《联系》）那种非目的论的进步观 [5]，也就是人类的物种分化。我强烈推荐布鲁斯·斯特林在他的小说《分裂矩阵》（Schismatrix）中对人类这种“终极形态”的探索 [6]。（这也是我用户名“pdkl95”的由来……）[6] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schismatrix
…James Burke's ("Connections") non-teleological view of progress [5] aka the speciation of humanity. I highly recommend Bruce Sterling's exploration of this type of "end result" for humanity in his novel Schismatrix[6]. (this is where my username ("pdkl95") comes from...)

那得看你说“当代”是什么意思？《Culture》系列非常乐观，里面的工程规模让这些概念看起来像铁器时代的小圆舟。不过我个人最喜欢的还是《Schismatrix》。它几乎完全设定在类似这里展示的那种太空栖息地里。作为《Neuromancer》不那么知名的赛博朋克同代人，它在有些地方的政治基调非常……80 年代。但它仍然……
Depends what you mean by contemporary? The Culture is very optimistic, and features engineering on a scale that makes these concepts look like iron age coracles. A personal favourite of mine is Schismatrix though. It's set almost entirely in space habitats similar to the ones featured here. As Neuromancer's lesser known cyberpunk contemporary, in places it's very... 80s in tone politically. But it's still…
有道理。像布鲁斯·斯特林的《分裂矩阵》（Schismatrix）这种作品，对后人类主义图景的脑洞开得极其狂野。可以说是快进200年后的赛博朋克。话说回来，像《攻壳机动队》和《碳变》（小说版）这样的作品，其实也隐约指向了这个方向。碳变……
That makes sense. Something like Bruce Sterling's Schismatrix really gets wild with what posthumanism can look like. Cyberpunk taken to the next 200 years. That said, media like ghost in the shell and altered carbon (the novels) gesture in this direction. Altered…
