很高兴看到 Gene Wolfe 勉强挤进了这份书单,但依我看,《新日》系列完全可以和《沙丘》平起平坐。Pohl 的《Gateway》和 Gibson 与 Sterling 合著的《The Difference Engine》要是也能加进来就更好了。不过除此之外,这也算是个不错的入门书单。里面有几本书我以前没听说过,等抽得出时间我肯定得去读读。
I'm glad to see Gene Wolfe just squeaked onto the list, but IMO the New Sun series ranks up there with Dune. Pohl's "Gateway" and Gibson/Sterling's "The Difference Engine" would have been nice additions, too. Otherwise, it's a nice starting point. There are a few titles I hadn't heard about that I'll be reading, if I can find the time.

你读过 Gibson 和 Sterling 写的《The Difference Engine》吗?(算是它一手带火了整个 Steampunk 蒸汽朋克流派)。大体上就是如果现代社会的雏形提前几十年实现会怎样。但真正让人遗憾的是,爱迪生的……
Have you read the book "The Difference Engine" by Gibson and Sterling? (Kind of what kicked off the whole Steampunk genre). Basically a taste of modern society could have been realized many decades earlier. But the real bummer, is that Edison's…
