为什么值得读
- 构思了基于力场球设定的奇妙太空海战
- 包含常被忽视但极具启发性的科幻脑洞
来自封底介绍：“在《The Peace War》中，Vernor Vinge引入了‘泡泡’技术，能够创造出内部时间停滞、而外界已流逝数分钟、数年乃至千古的球形场。这种技术最初用于对抗核威胁，随后沦为强化专制政权的工具，直到和平战争结束一个世纪后，它们才真正展现出全部潜能。还有比这更好的单向时间旅行方式吗？凭借泡泡技术再加上延寿疗法，人类的成就似乎将永无止境……精彩得让人几乎来不及翻页……《Marooned in Realtime》实属佳作。”——《Locus》

文奇其他几部经常被人忽略、但真的很发人深省的书是《和平之战》（The Peace War）和《实时沦陷》（Marooned in Realtime）。我个人的私心偏好（说是私心，是因为他实在太迷信‘技术奇点’这种过时概念了）是《彩虹尽头》（Rainbow's End），讲的是增强现实（AR）、数字化……之类的概念。
Some other really thought provoking books by Vinge which often go overlooked is "The Peace Wars" and "Marooned in Realtime" My personal guilty favorite (I say guilty because he really buys into the outdated concept of the technological singularity) is Rainbow's End, which deals with notions of augmented reality, digitalization…
……用来实际开火的按钮。鱼雷也是一样，不过我隐约记得看到他们手动把鱼雷装填进发射管，搞得跟1940年代的U型潜艇似的。弗诺·文奇的《实时沦陷》（Marooned in Realtime）里有一些非常有意思的太空战，完全围绕着“泡泡”（bobbles）这一设定展开：坚不可摧的力场护盾，能将包裹在内的物体在预设的时间内，本质上与宇宙（以及时间）隔绝开来……
…button which does the actual shooting. Similarly for torpedoes, except I seem to remember seeing them manually loading torpedoes into the tubes like it's a 1940s U-boat or something. Vernor Vinge's "Marooned in Realtime" has some very interesting space battles, based around the single conceit of "bobbles": impenetrable force shields which essentially separate their contents from the universe (and from time) for a pre-selected…
……但几乎每篇都是瑰宝。可以在网上读读《领悟》（Understand，http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/under.htm ），看看你喜不喜欢他的风格——我反正是挺喜欢的。弗诺·文奇，《天渊》（A Deepness in the Sky）、《和平之战》（The Peace War）、《实时沦陷》（Marooned in Realtime）。全都是神作，但如果你之前没读过文奇，建议从《深渊上的火》（A Fire Upon the Deep，我是在2008年读的）开始，那是最好的入门作品。格雷格·伊根，《离散》（Diaspora）、《隔离》（Quarantine）、《苦痛》（Distress）。伊根是最牛的……
…them, but nearly every one is a gem. Read Understand on the web (http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/under.htm) to see if you like his style - I do. Vernor Vinge, A Deepness in the Sky, The Peace War, Marooned in Realtime. All great novels, but start from A Fire Upon the Deep (I read that in 2008) if you haven't read Vinge before, it's the best introduction. Greg Egan, Diaspora, Quarantine, Distress. Egan is the best…
我基本上算是自己淘到了Vernor Vinge这个宝藏。Vernor Vinge的《A Fire Upon the Deep》、Vernor Vinge的《A Deepness in the Sky》、Vernor Vinge的《The Peace War》、Vernor Vinge的《Marooned in Realtime》、Dan Simmons的《Hyperion》，还有《Mrs. Perkins's Electric Quilt》（一本讲数学和物理问题的趣书）
I basically discovered Vernor Vinge. A Fire Upon the Deep, by Vernor Vinge A Deepness in the Sky, by Vernor Vinge The Peace War, by Vernor Vinge Marooned in Realtime, by Vernor Vinge Hyperion, by Dan Simmons Mrs. Perkins's Electric Quilt, a fun book about some math and physics problems
文奇的《实时沦陷》在太空战方面也有一些很棒的构思。我觉得尼文和波奈尔的《上帝眼中的微尘》（The Mote in God's Eye）里也有不少有意思的想法。我记得那里的太空战涉及球形舰船倾泻能量……
Vinge's Marooned in Realtime has some neat ideas for space combat too. I think that Niven and Pournelle's book The Mote in God's Eye had some interesting ideas. As I recall, space combat involved spherical vessels pouring energy…
我记得弗诺·文奇在他某部文明终结题材的后奇点（post-singularity）小说里写过类似的情节，让我想想……《实时沦陷》（Marooned in Realtime），没错。（也是本好书。）
I think Vernor Vinge has something like that in one of his end-of-civilization post-singularity novels, let's see... Marooned in Realtime, yes. (Great read, too.)
