很高兴看到那里推荐了一些好书。具体来说，我要点名：《The Three Body problem》。《The Lathe of Heaven》。虽然我还没读过《Parable of the Sower》，但我读过的 Octavia Butler 的作品从相当好到我史上最爱都有，所以我确信这本也不错。一个反向推荐（算是吧）：我最近读了《Finite and Infinite……
Happy to see some great books recommended there. Specifically, let me call out: The Three Body problem. The Lathe of Heaven. And while I haven't read Parable of the Sower yet, everything I've read of Octavia Butler has ranged from really good to some of my favorite books ever, so I'm sure it's a good one. One anti-recommendation (kind of): I recently read Finite and Infinite…
《Cryptonomicon》和《Snow Crash》都很棒。其他你可能感兴趣的：- 特德·姜的《你一生的故事》（《降临》改编的原著，神作短篇）- 刘慈欣的《三体》- 弗兰克·赫伯特的《沙丘》- 奥克塔维亚·巴特勒的《播种者的寓言》（The Parable of the Sower）- 拉里·尼文的《魔鬼之锤》（Lucifer's Hammer）- 史蒂文·巴恩斯的《The Kundalini Equation》
Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash were great. Others you might: - The Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang (superb short story that Arrival was based on) - The Three Body-Problem (Cixin Liu) - Dune (Frank Herbert) - The Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler) - Lucifer's Hammer (Larry Niven) - The Kundalini Equation (Steven Barnes)

…5 books by non-whitemen I read in 2014 are: FICTION 1. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - Americanah 2. Terezia Mora - Der einzige Mann auf dem Kontinent (not translated yet I think) 3. Octavia E.

……我接触奥克塔维亚·巴特勒的作品很晚，尽管我从小就是个狂热的科幻宅。真希望我能早点发现她……她现在稳居我最喜欢的科幻作家前五名。《播种者的寓言》（及其续作）写得很美且引人深思；《莉莉丝的子嗣》系列（从《破晓》开始）更是遥遥领先于它的时代，以一种非常深刻的方式探讨了性别、种族、性取向和排外心理……
…was very late coming to Octavia Butler's writing, despite being a huge scifi nerd from a very young age. I wish I'd discovered her sooner...she's easily in my top five favorite scifi authors, today. Parable of the Sower (and its sequel) is beautiful and thought-provoking; the Lilith's Brood series (starting with Dawn) was way ahead of its time, tackling gender, race, sexuality, and xenophobia, in a really thoughtful…
……他的书。我倒更希望我们能立志不做反派。但话又说回来……还有自由意志这个讨厌的玩意儿。所以也就这样了……奥克塔维亚·巴特勒在她书里的观点——尤其是《播种者的寓言》系列——非常有价值，她观察到人类的大多数冲突其实是在潜意识层面决定的。社会无法忽视这些力量，恰恰是因为它们能压倒有意识的理性……
…his books. I would rather that we aspire not to be villains. But again..that pesky thing called free will. So there’s that.. Octavia Butler's viewpoint in her books generally, but especially in the Parable of the Sower series, is valuable for its observation that much of human conflict is determined below the level of consciousness. Society can't ignore those forces, precisely because they can override conscious rationality…
我本来想推荐 Octavia E. Butler，但我看她已经在列表里了。整个“Xenogenesis”三部曲都很棒，不仅仅是第一部《Dawn》。《Parable of the Sower》和《Parable of the Talents》也是如此。还有 Connie Willis 的《To say nothing of the dog》超级搞笑！能让人心情大好。现在我得开始刷那张书单了。
I was going to recommend Octavia E. Butler, but I see she is already on the list. The whole Xenogenesis trilogy is good, not just Dawn (first in the series). Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents likewise. And Connie Willis' To say nothing of the dog is hilarious! It will brighten anyone's day. I'll just have to starting working through that list, now.
