为什么值得读

  • 世界观极具想象力且语言风格干练生动
  • 角色具有不完美缺陷但塑造十分引人入胜
  • 对人类追求永生的手段有独特新颖的描绘

“曾经如同乌托邦一般的 Chasm City 是在一颗环境恶劣的星球上建立的穹顶人类聚居地,如今已被一种名为 Melding Plague 的病毒所侵袭,该病毒能够感染任何有机体或计算机系统。现在,从市民到他们所居住的建筑物,整座城市彻底沦陷,只剩下最悲惨、绝望的生存状态。”——护封文案。

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 《启示空间》(Revelation Space)——阿拉斯泰尔·雷诺兹(Alastair Reynolds),2000 年。史诗级的第一卷。第二卷——《裂隙之城》(Chasm City)——极其精彩,高潮黑暗且扣人心弦。雷诺兹是个英国天体物理学家,不知道他在美国有没有像在英国那么火

    Revelation Space - by Alastair Reynolds – 2000 An epic volume 1 Volume 2 - Chasm City - brilliant with a dark and heart stopping culmination Reynolds is a British astro-physicists I dont know if he is popular in the US as he is in the UK

  • 科幻小说里另一个对“长生不老”很有意思的处理,是阿拉斯泰尔·雷诺兹小说里的裂隙之城 / 璀璨之环(Glitter Band)/ 黄石(Yellowstone)社会。它并不是像黄金时代低俗科幻(Golden Age pulps)那样靠什么一劳永逸的神奇药丸实现真正的永生,这里的“长生不老”是一连串权宜之计……

    Another interesting treatment of "immortality" in fiction is the Chasm City/Glitter Band/Yellowstone society from Alastair Reynolds' novels. Rather than achieving true immortality through some one-off miracle pill a la Golden Age pulps, "immortality" is a sequence of stopgaps…

  • 虽然我觉得阿拉斯泰尔·雷诺兹的《启示空间》也就还行,但我非常喜欢他的单行本《裂隙之城》。我是在图书交换活动上随手拿的,结果直接被震撼了。宇宙设定想象力爆棚且色彩斑斓,对话利落干脆,人物一身毛病但很有趣,里面的科学设定简直……

    While I thought Alastair Reynold's Revelation Space was just ok, I really loved his standalone book Chasm City. I picked it up randomly at a book exchange and was blown away. The universe is fiercely imaginative and colorful, the dialog is snappy, the characters are flawed and interesting, the science is just…

  • 还没人推荐翁贝托·艾柯(Umberto Eco)呢。在看《傅科摆》(Foucault's Pendulum)之前,我建议先试试《昨日之岛》(The Island of the Day Before)或《波多里诺》(Baudolino)。阿拉斯泰尔·雷诺兹是写得很不错的太空歌剧(space opera,如果你想看这个方向的话)。《裂隙之城》可以作为独立作品读,但他还有些类似的作品。吐温(Twain)也挺符合你另外几条评论的。

    Nobody has suggested Umberto Eco yet.I would try The Island of the Day Before or Baudolino before Foucault's Pendulum. Alistair Reynolds is space opera done nicely (if you want to look in that direction). Chasm City stands on its own, but there are some similar works there. Twain fits in with some of your other comments.

  • ……《指环王》——J·R·R·托尔金(很喜欢 BBC 广播剧版本);7. 《手中纸,心中爱》(The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories)——刘宇昆(里面好几篇短篇非常喜欢);8. 《启示空间》/《裂隙之城》/《救赎之舟》(Redemption Ark)/《赦免之隙》(Absolution Gap)——阿拉斯泰尔·雷诺兹(超爱这个系列,但实在太长了!);9. 《行政命令》(Executive Orders)——汤姆·克兰西(不是我最爱的克兰西作品,但依然很有趣);10. 《彩虹六号》(Rainbow Six)——汤姆·克兰西(也不是……

    …Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien (enjoyed the audio production from BBC radio) 7. The Paper Menagerie and Other Stories - Ken Liu (enjoyed several of the short stories very much) 8. Revelation Space/Chasm City/Redemption Ark/Absolution Gap - Alastair Reynolds (love the series but it is long!) 9. Executive Orders - Tom Clancy (not my favorite Clancy book but still fun) 10. Rainbow Six - Tom Clancy (also not…

  • 如果你对“硬核写实”(也就是没有超光速 FTL)的太空战感兴趣,去读阿拉斯泰尔·雷诺兹的《救赎之舟》(在这之前先看《启示空间》和《裂隙之城》)。里面有一场跨越数年的星系间追逐战,还有涉及大量对敌人位置、机动和动作进行插值推算的“近身”(也就是几光秒以内)缠斗。……

    If you're interested in "realistic" (meaning: no FTL) space battles read Alastair Reynolds' Redemption Ark (and read Revelation Space and Chasm City before that). It includes a chase between star systems that goes on for years and "close" (ie within a few light-seconds) combat that involves a lot of interpolation of enemy position, movement and actions.…
