Sphere 是 Michael Crichton 于1987年推出的小说，是他以本名发表的第六部小说，也是其总共第十六部小说。故事围绕受美国海军聘请的心理学家 Norman Johnson 展开，他加入了一个科学家团队，负责调查在太平洋底部发现的一艘来源不明的航天器。小说以科幻故事开篇，但迅速转变成一部心理惊悚小说，进而演变为对人类想象力本质的探索探讨。

感谢分享这个。克莱顿是我小时候最喜欢的作家（我至今还记得《深渊》（Sphere）当时让我有多入迷），直到今天我都不知道他居然还尝试过写代码。
Thanks for posting this. Crichton was my favourite author when I was a young boy (I still remember how engrossing Sphere was for me) and to this day I had no idea that he tried his hand at programming.
迈克尔·克莱顿的《深渊》我读过好几遍了，每次读都很享受。我尤其喜欢那种先从某些角色的视角看事情，然后另一个角色又带来完全不同的视角，从而彻底改变读者……
I've read Sphere by Michael Crichton several times and always enjoy it. I particularly like the way things are seen by some characters and then another character brings an alternate perspective that changes the reader's…
迈克尔·克莱顿的《深渊》。那时候我还很小，但我记得自己完全看入迷了。千万别把它和电影版联系到一起 :)
Sphere by Michael Crichton. I was quite young at the time, but I remember being completely engrossed. Please don't relate it to the movie version :)
我是从已故作家迈克尔·克莱顿的小说《深渊》里了解到这个方程的。一部非常精彩的第一次接触类科幻小说。
Learned about this equation from the late Michael Crichton's book "Sphere". A really great first contact science fiction story.
迈克尔·克莱顿的《深渊》里有一段关于“拟人化问题”的精彩讨论，讲的是我们总是把外星生命想象得本质上和人类一样。不管它们长成什么样，在我们的想象中它们的行为举止依然像人。为什么要套用……
Michael Crichton's Sphere has a good section about the "anthropomorphic problem", about how we imagine extraterrestrial life as essentially human. Regardless of how they look, they still act human in our imagination. Why apply…
是的，我小时候认准这位作者时也有同样的落差，读了《刚果惊魂》、《深渊》等等……克莱顿先生对我们身处的技术世界确实了如指掌。他创作的这一系列故事太狂野了……在斯蒂芬森先生他们出现之前，他一直是我最喜欢的作家……
Yes, I too had the same disparity in recognizing the author as a young 'un, reading CONGO and SPHERE and so on .. Mr. Crichton sure had his finger on the pulse of the technological world we live in. What a wild series of stories he has created .. he was my favourite author until Messrs. Stephenson and…
