顺便提一句，John Wyndham（文中提到的《三尖树时代》的作者）还写过一本小说叫《海妖苏醒》（The Kraken Wakes）。那是一部既搞笑、又荒诞离奇、极其出彩的科幻神作，充满了20世纪初那种独特的绝妙风味。

John Wyndham 的《海妖苏醒》（1953年出版）也有一部分情节展现了海平面上升，不过那是外星人故意融化冰盖造成的，而不是人类无心之过。在书里，大多数人根本不在乎，直到为时已……
Bits of John Wyndham's "The Kraken Wakes" (published 1953) also present rising sea levels, albeit caused by aliens intentionally melting the ice caps rather than humans accidentally doing it. In the book, most people don't care until it's too…
