为什么值得读

  • 被读者誉为阿西莫夫短篇小说的巅峰之作
  • 带来其他科幻作品难以企及的震撼阅读体验
  • 篇幅短小却在宏大时空尺度上展开演化思考

The Last Question 是 Isaac Asimov 创作的科幻短篇小说,于1956年11月首次发表于《Science Fiction Quarterly》。Asimov 将其视为自己所有作品中最钟爱的一篇。故事通过跨越数十亿年的七个片段,讲述了人类不断尝试回答同一个问题:熵可以逆转吗?故事始于2061年,两名技术人员在醉意微醺中向 Multivac 提出了这个问题——这是一台刚刚解决了地球能源危机的庞大超级计算机。随后,故事跨越漫长岁月向前飞跃。文明扩展至整个银河系,并与其机器……

  • ……和《巡礼之年》,还有《血色子午线》都让我惊艳不已。哦,图像小说方面有《睡魔》(The Sandman)、《守望者》(Watchmen)、《鼠族》(Maus)和《我在伊朗长大》(Persepolis)。短篇小说方面有:MMAcevedo(https://qntm.org/mmacevedo)、阿西莫夫的《最后的问题》(The Last Question)、博尔赫斯的《通天塔图书馆》(The Library of Babel),以及乔伊斯的《死者》(The Dead,其最后一句话是我在所有英语文学作品中最爱的一句)。最后,《设计心理学》(The Design of Everyday Things)改变了我看待所有人造……

    …and His Years of Pilgrimage, and Blood Meridian all dazzled me. Oh, and The Sandman, Watchmen, Maus, and Persepolis for graphic novels. For short stories: MMAcevedo (https://qntm.org/mmacevedo), The Last Question by Asimov, The Library of Babel by Borges, and The Dead by Joyce (whose final sentence is my favorite of all English-language writing). Lastly, The Design of Everyday Things changed how I saw man-made…

  • ……这篇小说是他短篇创作的巅峰之作,他自己也心知肚明。你去看他的其他作品,没有一部能给你带来同样的心灵震撼。《日暮》(Nightfall)虽然也不错,但讲真,《最后的问题》(The Last Question)完全是独一档的存在。它是我有生以来最爱的短篇小说之一,能与之并列的还有博尔赫斯的《通天塔图书馆》、罗尔德·达尔的《自动提词机》(The Great Automatic Grammatizator),以及《“忏悔吧,小丑!”滴答人说……

    …this story was his crowning achievement in short fiction and he knew it too. You can read his other things and none of them will give the same feeling. Nightfall is a decent story though. But yeah, The Last Question is in a league of its own. It's one of my favorite short stories ever along with The Library of Babel by Borges, The Great Automatic Grammatizator by Roald Dahl, and "Repent, Harlequin!" said the Tick-Tock…

  • ……生活中没有它们就不完整了。:) 3) 我之前还不知道那本书。听起来我绝对应该读一读,这就去搜搜看。作为回荐,我推荐艾萨克·阿西莫夫1956年写的神作短篇《最后的问题》(The Last Question):http://multivax.com/last_question.html

    …life would be incomplete without them. :) 3) I didn't know about that book. It sounds like I should definitely read it. I'm off to look it up. And for you, I recommend the evolutionary short story, The Last Question, by Isaac Asimov, 1956. http://multivax.com/last_question.html

    i can't narrow this down to one. some of these are already named: Cryptonomicon, Snow Crash, "The Last Question", Ender's Game/Shadow, Dune, Slaughterhouse 5, Ringworld
