「一位能与死者交谈的历史学家被过去所困。一个感觉不到疼痛、本不该存在的孩子看见了未来。在他们之间，是足以撼动世界的真相。在遥远的未来，人类已无任何遗存，但他们的后继者却在银河系各处繁衍生息。这些是人类智慧的造物——被提升为能行走、能言语、有感知能力的动物。范特族便是其中之一：这些拟人化的大象被其他种族排斥，很久以前被放逐到多雨的贫民窟世界巴尔斯克。在那里，他们研制出如今所有种族都依赖的药物。

……一个糟糕的小幽默故事。基本上 Timothy Zahn 的任何东西（除了《星球大战》小说改编）[4] 或 Robert Sawyer [5] 都很对我胃口。Claire North 的《The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August》[6] Lawrence M. Schoen 的《Barsk: The Elephants’ Graveyard》[7] 让我开始关心有感知的大象。John Scalzi 的《Fuzzy Nation》[8] 非常搞笑。有声书版由 Wil Wheaton 朗读。已经提到过的里面：……

…give them another try. Recommend: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North for beautiful prose, charming writing and an inventive story. Her first and best book under that pseudonym. Barsk: The Elephants' Graveyard and The Moons of Barsk by Lawrence M. Schoen for making me care about anthropomorphic elephants. Children of Time and Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky for almost making…
附议《Barsk》，还有 Robert Sawyer 的几乎任何作品；我会推荐他的 Neanderthal Parallax 系列，第一部是《Hominids》：https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/264946.Hominids
Seconding Barsk, and just about anything by Robert Sawyer; I would recommend his Neanderthal Parallax series, which begins with Hominids: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/264946.Hominids
