Matthew 的父母十分担忧。十一岁的他早过了拥有幻想朋友的年纪，然而他们却发现他一直在与一个甚至连他自己都承认并不真实存在的形体对话和争辩。这个存在——Chocky——让 Matthew 提出了许多刁钻的问题，并说出令人吃惊的言论：他谈论高深的数学，嘲弄人类的进步。随后，当 Matthew 做出惊人之举时，Chocky 似乎绝非只是幻想那么简单。就在这时，其他人也开始对此产生兴趣，并提出了自己的疑问：Chocky 究竟是谁？它想从一个十一岁的男孩身上得到什么？

John Wyndham 的《Chocky》读起来轻松有趣。Elan Mastai 的《All Our Wrongs Today》节奏虽然有点不太平稳，但我读得很开心。刘慈欣的《三体》系列我读起来有点硬啃，但好多人似乎评价极高。另外还有些……
"Chocky" by John Wyndham was quick/fun. A little uneven but enjoyed "All Our Wrongs Today" by Elan Mastai. Tough to get thru for me but many seem high on "The Three Body Problem" books by Cixin Liu. Some others…

……依我看，这人真是个天才和宝藏。《Eifelheim》- Michael Flynn - 好吧，这本书读起来有时简直像在硬啃，但只要坚持读完收获极大，而且这么多年一直印在我脑子里。《Chocky》- John Wyndham。《Providence》- Max Barry - 这本书的节奏流畅得像电影一样，拍成电影肯定很棒。我发现自己有几次真的读到喘不过气来。《Hench: A Novel》- Natalie Zina Walschots - 古怪离奇，……

It will make a great movie. I found myself LITERALLY out of breath a couple of times Hench: A Novel - Natalie Zina Walschots - Quirky,…
……可能是我过去几年读过的相对小众的科幻作品。尽管读完已经过去几个月（甚至几年），但这些书依然深深印在我的脑海中，不断引发我的思考：John Wyndham 的《Chocky》、Amal El-Mohtar 与 Max Gladstone 的《This is How You Lose the Time War》（我的新晋历史最爱）、Michel Faber 的《The Book of Strange new Things: A Novel》、《The City and the City》……
…possibly lesser-known science fiction I've read over the past few years. These are the ones that stick in my brain and continue to generate thought, even though I read them months (or even years) ago: "Chocky" by John Wyndham "This is How You Lose the Time War" by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone (a new all-time fave for me) "The Book of Strange new Things: A Novel" by Michel Faber "The City and the City"…

……并不是觉得这贬低了牛、它们的个性和感受等等，而是着眼于“顺从/接受”，即它们对命运或秩序/等级制度那种被认为的逆来顺受。我的想法多少受到了 John Wyndham 的《Chocky》[1] 的启发，书中主角是个叫 Matthew Gore 的男孩——他一直用心灵感应与一个外星生命体（Chocky）交流，并试图回答对方提出的关于……
…considering it to denigrate cows, their personalities, feelings etc, but rather with the focus on "acceptance", their perceived resignation to fate or order/hierarchy. My thinking was informed by a bit of Chocky [1], by John Wyndham, in which the key character, a boy called Matthew Gore - who has been communicating telepathically with an alien lifeform (Chocky) and trying to answer questions put to him about…
