……读起来轻松有趣的快读好书。夹在上面列出的那些书之间的一些科幻遗珠包括：Robert J. Sawyer 的《Starplex》、Daniel H. Wilson 的《The Clockwork Dynasty》、Ian Douglas 的《Solar Warden》、Natalie Zina Walschots 的《Hench》、Deepak Malhotra 的《The Peacemaker's Code》、Andy Weir 的《Hail Mary》（别被那些唱衰的人忽悠了，这书很有趣，脑洞也很多），还有整套……

……挺有名的）Michael Flynn 的《Eifelheim》（极其离奇的设定，大概到 2/3 处有一大堆看似毫无意义的内容得硬着头皮啃完，但我个人觉得很值）；Max Barry 的《Providence》（让人心跳加速）；Natalie Zina Walschots 的《Hench》；Karen Russell 的《Orange World》（短篇集，但很多篇完全算得上科幻，让我印象极深）。另外这里还有几个绝对广为人知、同样让我难忘的例子：……
…well-known) "Eifelheim" by Michael Flynn (a most unusual premise and a gob of seemingly inane stuff to get through at about the 2/3 point, but IMHO worth it) "Providence" by Max Barry (heart pounding) "Hench" by Natalie Zina Walschots "Orange World" by Karen Russell (short stories but many qualify as sci-fi, very memorable to me) And here are some definitely well-known examples that also stick in my head:…

……在我的脑海里停留了很多年；John Wyndham 的《Chocky》；Max Barry 的《Providence》——这书读起来像电影一样流畅，改出来肯定是一部大片，有好几次我真真切切读得喘不过气来；Natalie Zina Walschots 的长篇《Hench》——画风清奇，让人难忘；Deepak Malhotra 的《The Peacemaker's Code》——这家伙为什么不多写点科幻呢？Karen Russell 的《Orange World and Other Stories》——好吧，可能不完全算……
…has stuck in my brain for many years Chocky - John Wyndham Providence - Max Barry - This book flows like a movie. It will make a great movie. I found myself LITERALLY out of breath a couple of times Hench: A Novel - Natalie Zina Walschots - Quirky, memorable The Peacemaker's Code - Deepak Malhotra - Why hasn't this guy written more sci-fi? Orange World and Other Stories - Karen Russell - OK, maybe not…
