你至少可以通过以下几种方式来阅读 NOVA：作为一场快节奏、跨越辽阔星际的冒险；作为一种原型式的神秘/神话寓言（其中塔罗牌与圣杯都占据重要位置）；作为以科幻语汇讲述的现代神话……读者在其中观察、回忆或参与一系列亲身体验，包括剧烈的痛苦与毁容、感官剥夺与超载、人机合一、药物体验、创造性体验——以及人际关系，包括乱伦与暗杀、父子、领袖与追随者、人与宠物，等等

……恰好遇到书评人推荐一本合你胃口的书，其概率堪比九星连珠。我让 ChatGPT 推荐几本兼具文学价值或持久声誉的20世纪太空歌剧。它推荐了 Samuel Delany 的《Nova》（超新星）。神作。我得看多少报纸书评，才能看到这种类型的荐书？估计等到死都等不到。
…reviewer just happening to cover a book up your alley is about as common as a planetary alignment. I asked ChatGPT for 20th century space operas with literary merit or lasting recognition. It suggested Nova by Samuel Delany. Great book. How many newspaper book reviews would I have to read before I got suggestions for books in that category? I'd probably die waiting.
……绝对称得上顶级的作品包括以下作者的任何书：Stanislaw Lem（《赛博利亚德》、《未来学大会》、《索拉里斯星》）、Alfred Bester（《群星，我的归宿》、《被毁灭的人》）或者 Samuel R. Delany（《巴贝尔-17》、《达尔格伦》、《特里顿》、《超新星》），哦还有 Roger Zelazny 的《光明王》和《不朽》都很棒。Philip K. Dick 的一些作品也很赞，不过大家都在推他。:) 差点忘了 John Brunner，去看看《Steel Beach》、《The…
…Absolute Best would be anything by: Stanislaw Lem (Cyberiad, Futurological Congress, Solaris) Alfred Bester (The STars my Destination, The Demolished Man) or Samuel R. Delany (Babel-17, Dhalgren, Trtion, Nova) oh and Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light and This Immortal are both great. Some of Philip K. Dick's stuff is great, but everyone recommends him. :) almost forgot John Brunner, check out Steel Beach, The…
我大概十二三岁的时候开始读 Delany 的《Nova》。多么不可思议的故事！对于一本在1966年出版的作品来说，它确实拓展了科幻小说的边界，不仅在探讨的题材上（种族、药物、社会等），而且在……
I started with Delany's Nova when I was about 12 or 13. What an incredible story! For something published in 1966, it really pushed the boundaries of science fiction not just in terms of topics (race, drugs, society, etc.) but also…
……交付了。雇佣和出版合同里的附加条款往往限制非常多，并且/或者需要额外的步骤才能解锁某些权利或收益。对于那些还没读过 Delany 作品的人来说，《Nova》是一个非常扎实的入门选择。别管什么“太空歌剧”的标签，它就是一个精彩的故事，有着引人入胜的角色，以及对人类遥远未来的构想。
…was delivered. The fine print of employment and publishing contracts is often very restrictive and/or requires additional steps to unlock certain rights or benefits. For anyone who hasn't read Delany, Nova is a solid starting point. Forget the "space opera" label, it's just a great story with interesting characters and vision of humanity's far future.
……“科幻创意的宝库”纯属毫无依据的夸大其词，你的整篇长篇大论全凭她30年前随口说的一句话立论。她洗劫所谓“科幻创意的宝库”，就跟 Delany 洗劫《白鲸记》写出《Nova》、或者 Jo Walton 洗劫希腊神话写出《The Just City》是一模一样的套路
…treasury of SF ideas" is baseless hyperbole, and your entire rant falls on a throwaway comment she made 30 years ago. She looted the "treasury of SF ideas" in the same way Delany looted Moby Dick to write Nova or Jo Walton looted Greek myth to write The Just City
Roger Penrose 的《走向实在之路》。慢慢啃，一步一个脚印。William Gibson 的《神经漫游者》。第6遍还是第7遍读了。读完 Delany 的《Nova》再回来看这本，受其影响的痕迹显而易见。Norman Spinrad 的《Little Heroes》。Spinrad 的所有优点和缺点都在里面了。他写好莱坞确实是一把好手。David Parkinson 的《History Of Film》。一本简要的概述……
The Road To Reality - Roger Penrose. Slowly, step by step. Neuromancer - William Gibson. 6th or 7th time through. Coming to it now after having read Delany's Nova, and the influence is clear. Little Heroes - Norman Spinrad. All that's good about Spinrad and all that's bad. He does write well about Hollywood. History Of Film- David Parkinson. A short survey…
