对我来说是：* 特德·姜的《呼吸》（Exhalation）* 鲍勃·艾格的《一生的旅程》（Ride of a lifetime）紧随其后排第二
For me it was: * Exhalation by Ted Chiang * Ride of a lifetime by Bob Iger was a close second
……我读过的短篇小说集里数一数二的。如果你喜欢那本，可能也会喜欢《软件客体的生命周期》（The Lifecycle of Software Objects），一篇关于模拟儿童、让人心碎至极的中篇，还有他的后续短篇集《呼吸》（Exhalation）。奥森·斯科特·卡德的《安德的游戏》（Ender's Game）极棒，而它的续作《死者代言人》（Speaker for the Dead）甚至更赞，是我有生以来最喜欢的科幻小说。它们背靠背斩获了雨果奖和星云奖。……
…collection of short stories I've ever read. If you like that, you might also enjoy The Lifecycle of Software Objects, an absolutely heartbreaking novella about simulated children, and his follow-up collection Exhalation. Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game is fantastic, and it's follow-up, Speaker for the Dead is even better, and my favorite science fiction novel of all time. They won back to back Hugo and Nebula awards.…

没想到这个故事最初是发表在《Nature》上的。我是在他那本极棒的短篇小说集《呼吸》里读到的，超级喜欢它，就像喜欢那部集子里的很多其他故事一样。姜有点像卡夫卡和博尔赫斯，用平实的文字写出震撼心灵的东西。
Didn't know this story was originally published in Nature. I read it in his excellent short story book Exhalation and loved it like I did many others in that collection. Chiang is like Kafka and Borges in that he writes plain prose that blows your mind.
……选集。短篇小说也许是科幻最完美的载体，因为它能让绝妙的脑洞迅速展开。推荐看看金·斯坦利·罗宾逊的《Kim Stanley Robinson 精选集》、特德·姜的《你一生的故事》和《呼吸》、保罗·巴奇加卢皮的《六号泵及其他故事》，以及威廉·吉布森的《全息玫瑰碎片》。
…collections. Story stories are maybe the perfect format for science fiction, since it lets brilliant ideas play out rapidly. Check out “The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson”, “Stories of Your Life and Others” and “Exhalation” by Ted Chiang, “Pump Six and Other Stories” by Paolo Bacigalupi, and “Burning Chrome” by William Gibson.
你应该读读特德·姜的《呼吸》，微剧透一下，它讲的几乎完全就是你所说的内容，而且写得极为优美。
You should read Exhalation by Ted Chiang mild spoiler, but it is almost exactly what you're talking about, and a beautiful piece of writing.
