在这部出自屡获殊荣的作家 Amal El-Mohtar 与 Max Gladstone 之手的惊险而浪漫的作品中，两名来自交战未来的时空穿梭特工穿行于过往岁月中，开始互通书信并坠入爱河。在一个濒死世界的灰烬中，Red 发现了一封写着“读前烧毁。署名，Blue”的信件。在这场横跨浩瀚时空的战争中，两个对立阵营的特工之间由此开启了一段不可思议的书信往来。Red 隶属于 Agency——一个后奇点时代的技术乌托邦；Blue 则隶属于 Garden——一个深植于所有有机物之中的庞大单一意识体。

我能想到的最近一本真正一流的科幻小说是：阿迈勒·艾尔-莫塔尔（Amal El-Mohtar）和马克斯·格拉德斯通（Max Gladstone）写的《This is how you lose the time war》[0]。如果你喜欢 Hard SF（我挺喜欢的），它可完全算不上，但其中的幽默和诗意很快就把我征服了。我纯粹就是冲着这个神仙书名买的！…
The one really first rate recent SF novel I can recall is: "This is how you lose the time war" [0] by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. It's far from being Hard SF if you like that (I do) but the humour and poetry of it won me over very fast. I bought it purely on the basis of the delicious title!…

…第一本书的部分写得非常好），但如果你喜欢整本《Seveneves》，那它可能会合你口味。我个人最爱的一些可能还没上大家书单的作品：Fiasco - Stanisław Lem；This is how you lose the time war - Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone；Feersum Endjinn - Iain Banks；The Dark Side of the Sun - Terry Pratchett（没错，就是那本）；Blindsight - Peter Watts；Bloom - Wil McCarthy。祝好运！

在近期的获奖作品里，我超级喜欢《This Is How you Lose The Time War》以及《Binti》（这是个三部曲，但加在一起差不多就是一部长篇小说的体量）。我觉得 Becky Chambers 最近的中篇小说《To Be Taught, if Fortunate》有了很大的突破，而且对太空探索的那种更偏乌托邦的视角…
Of recent laureates I really loved This Is How you Lose The Time War as well as Binti (this is a trilogy, but combined form something novel-length). Becky Chambers's recent novella To Be Taught, if Fortunate was a major step up imo, and the more utopian view of space exploration…
