……但在物是人非之后它的精髓。不过我肯定还是想看的。话虽如此，我超级想看另一本年代较近的赛博朋克风小说被改编成电影，那就是伊恩·麦克唐纳（Ian McDonald）的《诸神之河》（River of Gods）。它写得惊艳绝伦，而且够新，不会像那样显得过时。
…spirit of it when things have changed so much in the meantime. I'd certainly want to watch it though. However, I would LOVE to see a film adaptation of one particular more recent cyberpunk-style novel, River of Gods by Ian McDonald. It's staggeringly brilliant, and recent enough that it wouldn't be dated in the same way.
伊恩·麦克唐纳的《诸神之河》：独立百年后的印度政治，突破预设阈值的违禁 AI 和追捕它们的警察，通过手术切除所有性别特征的人……
River of Gods by Ian McDonald Indian politics 100 years following independence, forbidden AIs that pass a predefined threshold and policemen that chase them, individuals who have all their gender indicators surgically…
There seems to be a western fascination with the idea of breaking India into different countries. River of Gods, a sci-fi novel by Ian McDonald, imagines India as 12 separate nations. I don't ascribe this to malice, but to sheer bewilderment. From a rational perspective, India should not really exist. It is just…

要是想看带点印度风味的科幻小说，不妨看看伊恩·麦克唐纳的《诸神之河》
For sci-fi with some Indian spice have a look at River of Gods by Ian McDonald
