为什么值得读

  • 兼具吉布森式的语言风格与经典的悬疑感
  • 用当代技术意象全面迭代八十年代硬派科幻设定
  • 文笔极佳但当年出版时被严重低估

尽管海平面上升、中纬度地区日益荒芜,身处旧金山依然算得上是好时光——武装无人机在空中巡逻,将成群的穷人拒之门外。Irina 并不富有,但她拥有人工记忆,这让她具备过目不忘的记忆力,并使她能够在不同的雇主与他们复杂晦涩的 AI 之间充当媒介。这份差事不错,报酬足以支付每年在 Mayo Clinic 防止衰老的抗衰费用。而 Kern 则无从享有这些;他是无人机建造的庞大贫民窟中众多难民里的一员……

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • ……几年后)。后来的“大桥三部曲”(Bridge trilogy)当然也是如此。依我看,从《神经漫游者》(Neuromancer)开启的“蔓生三部曲”(Sprawl trilogy)其实是一本比一本精彩,尽管第一本名气最大。另外顺便安利一下《虚空之星》(Void Star),我是看到这里有人推荐才去读完的。它的调性有点像大桥时期的吉布森风格,但又带着那种复古赛博朋克作家身上典型的“这他妈到底发生了什么?”式的赛博朋克悬疑感……

    …years later). And certainly with the subsequent Bridge trilogy. IMHO, the Sprawl trilogy that starts with Neuromancer gets better with each book, even though the first is the most famous. Also, plug for Void Star, which I recently finished after a recommendation here. It sits somewhere in Bridge-era Gibson tone, but with the quintessential "What the hell is going on?" Cyberpunk mystery that a lot of retro-CP authors…

  • 扎卡里·梅森(Zachary Mason)写的《虚空之星》(Void Star)是去年出版的。如果用一句话高概念来推介它,那就是:“《神经漫游者》,但把所有80年代的元素全换成了2018年的东西”。希望作者别介意这种说法——这本书……

    The book "Void Star" by Zachary Mason was published last year. A high concept pitch for it is "Neuromancer, but all the 80s stuff is replaced with 2018 stuff". I hope the author wouldn't be offended by that -- the book is…

  • ……这些我都挺喜欢的,那我再往书单里添几本:- 肯·麦克劳德的“堕落革命”(The Fall Revolution)四部曲:《恒星碎片》(The Star Fraction)、《石头运河》(The Stone Canal)、《卡西尼缝》(The Cassini Division)和《天空之路》(The Sky Road)- 扎卡里·梅森的《虚空之星》(Void Star)- 查尔斯·斯特罗斯的《奇点天空》(Singularity Sky)- 彼得·沃茨的《定格革命》(The Freeze-Frame Revolution)- 亚切克·杜卡伊的《完美的缺陷》(Perfekcyjna niedoskonałość)- 《深渊上的火》(A Fire Upon the Deep)和《天渊》(A Deepness in the……

    …enjoyed these quite a bit, so let me add a few more to the list. - “The Fall Revolution” tetralogy by Ken MacLeod: “The Star Fraction”, “The Stone Canal”, “The Cassini Division”, and “The Sky Road” - “Void Star” by Zachary Mason - “Singularity Sky” by Charles Stross - “The Freeze-Frame Revolution” by Peter Watts - “Perfekcyjna niedoskonałość” by Jacek Dukaj - “A Fire Upon the Deep” and “A Deepness in the…

  • ……《金色超越》(The Golden Transcendence)。另外,这些也绝对不容错过:- 肯·麦克劳德的“堕落革命”(The Fall Revolution)四部曲:《恒星碎片》(The Star Fraction)、《石头运河》(The Stone Canal)、《卡西尼缝》(The Cassini Division)和《天空之路》(The Sky Road)- 扎卡里·梅森的《虚空之星》(Void Star)- 查尔斯·斯特罗斯的《奇点天空》(Singularity Sky)- 彼得·沃茨的《定格革命》(The Freeze-Frame Revolution)- 亚切克·杜卡伊的《完美的缺陷》(Perfekcyjna niedoskonałość)- 《深渊上的火》(A Fire Upon the Deep)和《天渊》(A Deepness in the……

  • 这也是我的雷区。我想推荐一本很多人可能都没听说过的书:扎卡里·梅森写的《虚空之星》(Void Star)。他的文笔极好,非常有吉布森的神韵,几年前出版的时候受到的关注实在太少了。

    It's my pet peeve too. I'm gonna throw in Void Star by Zachary Mason as one recommendation that a lot of people likely haven't heard of. Great prose writer, very Gibson-like, got way too little attention when it was published a few years ago.

  • ……不过《消解》(Dissolution,Nicholas Binge 著)、《如同闪电》(Too Like the Lightning,Ada Palmer 著)及其续作(篇幅较长,偏哲学思辨,构建的未来社会很有意思)、《给我一个结局》(Tell Me an Ending,Jo Harkin 著)——更偏向近未来和写实风格,还有《虚空之星》(Void Star,Zachary Mason 著)

    …though Dissolution (Nicholas Binge) Too Like the Lightning (Ada Palmer) and sequels (wordy, philosophical, interesting future society) Tell Me an Ending (Jo Harkin) - more near-future and grounded Void Star (Zachary Mason)
