为什么值得读
- 设定新奇，描摹永昼星球千年一遇的黑夜
- 探讨宗教在社会中的角色与群体性恐慌
- 篇幅精炼，充满令人回味的文明反差感
这两位著名作家构筑了一个与我们现实世界颇为相似的世界——一个濒临混乱边缘、在宗教狂热的癫狂与科学家的顽固否认之间撕裂的世界。拉加什星上仅有少数人准备好去面对真相：星球上的六颗太阳将在两千年里首次同时落下，而这预示着整个文明的终结！

> 你应该读读艾萨克·阿西莫夫（Isaac Asimov）的《夜幕低垂》（Nightfall）。这是一篇短篇小说，讲的是一颗拥有四颗太阳的行星，所以那里永远都是白天，唯独每隔一千年会迎来一个夜晚。>> 如果繁星每千年才出现一晚，…
> You should read Nightfall by Isaac Asimov. It's a short story about a planet that has four suns so it is always daytime, except for one night every thousand years. >> If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years,…
就像文末提到的，《夜幕低垂》（Nightfall）是阿西莫夫早期的一部非常精彩的小短篇——讲的是一个视蜡烛为异物、觉得人造光源极其诡异的文明。强烈推荐。其实链接就在这：…
Nightfall, as mentioned at the end of the piece, is a great little early Asimov story - a culture to whom candles are alien and the idea of artificial light is bizarre. Thoroughly recommend. In fact, here it is:…
…出奇地好。阿西莫夫是个优秀的作家，但这个故事是他短篇小说的巅峰之作，他自己也心知肚明。你去看他的其他作品，都给不了你这种感觉。《夜幕低垂》（Nightfall）倒也不错，但确实，《最后的问题》（The Last Question）完全是另一个档次的存在。它是我有史以来最喜欢的短篇小说之一，同样喜欢的还有博尔赫斯的《巴别塔图书馆》（The Library of Babel）、达尔的《伟大的自动语法机》（The Great Automatic Grammatizator）…
…exceptionally good. Asimov was a fine writer, but 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…
我要给一部老作品投一票，阿西莫夫和西尔弗伯格合著的《夜幕低垂》（Nightfall）。http://smile.amazon.com/Nightfall-Isaac-Asimov/dp/0553290991...
I'm going to put my vote in for an old one Nightfall by Asimov and Silverberg. http://smile.amazon.com/Nightfall-Isaac-Asimov/dp/0553290991...
…强烈推荐：《宇宙》（Cosmos）——！！！《现实的度量》（The Measure of Reality）——量化是如何彻底改变社会面貌的。非常有趣的内容，这大概是我今年最喜欢的读物了。《夜幕低垂》（Nightfall）——关于宗教在社会中的角色以及群体性癔症的有趣构思。《死者代言人》（Speaker for the Dead）——超级迷人的一本书。我最喜欢那种人类难以理解外星物种的科幻小说了…
…Highly Recommended: Cosmos - !!! The Measure of Reality - How quantification has completely changed the face of society. Very interesting stuff. This has probably been my favourite read this year. Nightfall - Interesting ideas of the role of religion in society and mass hysteria Speaker for the Dead - Really fascinating book. I love sci-fi where there is an alien species that humans have trouble understanding…
…感谢楼主发这个帖子。我刚刚在看伊恩·班克斯（Iain Banks）文明系列（Culture Series）[0]的最后一本（没被列在清单里，而且理由很充分），很快就得找新书看了。我没在清单里看到《夜幕低垂》（Nightfall）[1]（虽然我只是扫了一眼，所以可能其实有），它（间接）涉及了多星系统中的轨道动力学。或许它也该被收录进去？[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_series…
…poster for submitting this. I'm just now reading the last of the Culture Series[0] by Ian Banks (not included in the list, and for good reason) and will be looking for something new soon. I didn't see Nightfall[1] in the list (although I just skimmed, so it may be there), which (indirectly) addresses orbital dynamics in a system with multiple stars. Perhaps it should be included?
