为什么值得读
- 探讨原住民与殖民者之间的激烈碰撞
- 深刻对比被动型与侵略型两种社会形态
- 具有强烈的反思力量与现实映射
数百年后的未来，地球人在一颗树木覆盖的星球上建立了一个名为“新塔希提”的伐木殖民地兼军事基地；该星球上体型娇小、长着绿毛和大眼睛的原住民拥有一种以清醒梦为核心的文化。地球人的贪婪不断侵蚀着原住民的纯真与智慧，彻底颠覆了这个古老的社会。人类从海恩人（包括阿斯齐人在内的所有类人种族的起源星球）那里学会了星际旅行。各个星球一直在独立扩张，但在小说进程中，人们获悉全宇宙联盟已经成立。消息通过 ansible 传来，这是一种新型的

两个我都同意，不过就勒瑰恩而言，我显然更喜欢瀚星环宇系列（Hainish Cycle），像《黑暗的左手》、《一无所有》或者《伊甸之界》（The Word for World is Forest）这样的经典。
Agree with both, but in the case of Le Guin I clearly prefer the Hainish Cycle, with classics as The Left Hand of Darkness, The Disposesed or The Word for World is Forest
……希望能继续他的研究，但这需要的资源超出了那个无政府主义社会所能提供的范畴。这是我最喜欢的书之一。我也不记得远距离通信在《伊甸之界》（The Word for World is Forest）里有什么关键作用。那本更多是关于原住民与殖民者之间的冲突，以及被动型社会与侵略型社会之间的对抗。
…wish to further his research, which requires more resources than the anarchist society can provide. It is one of my favourite books. I also don't remember distant communication being relevant for The Word for World is Forest. That's far more about the conflict between the natives and the colonizers, and passive vs. aggressive societies.
《伊甸之界》（The Word for World is Forest）和《黑暗的左手》大概是我最喜欢的两本勒瑰恩的“科幻”小说，强烈推荐。
"The Word for World is Forest" and "The Left Hand of Darkness" are probably my two favorites "sci-fi" Le Guin books, highly recommend them.
……疯狂的比例。我会添加一些个人推荐，也许能被算法选中：科幻小说：- Octavia Butler 的《Parable of the Sower》和《Kindred》 - Ursula K Le Guin 的《The Lathe of Heaven》和《The Word for World Is Forest》（还有《The Left Hand of Darkness》，我在那里看到了）非科幻小说：- Taffy Brodesser-Akner 的《Fleishman Is In Trouble》 - Joan Didion 的《Slouching Towards Bethlehem》……
…crazy ratio. I will add some personal recommendations to maybe get picked up by the algorithm: Science fiction: - Parable of the Sower and Kindred, both by Octavia Butler - The Lathe of Heaven and The Word for World Is Forest, both by Ursula K Le Guin (also The Left Hand of Darkness, which I did see on there) Non-science fiction: - Fleishman Is In Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner - Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion…
“彻底改变人生”这种词太夸张了，但这几本确实相当酷：- 侯世达的《哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫：集异璧之大成》（GEB）- 大卫·格雷伯的《债：第一个5000年》- 厄休拉·勒瑰恩的《伊甸之界》（The Word for World is Forest）- 爱德华·伯内斯的《宣传》- 贾雷德·戴蒙德的《崩溃：社会如何选择成败兴亡》- 赫弗里德·明克勒的《帝国：从古罗马到美国的统治逻辑》……
Fundamentally changed are so big words but these were pretty cool: - Douglas Hofstadter's GEB: An Eternal Golden Braid - Debt: The First 5,000 Years by David Graeber - Ursula K. LeGuin's The Word for World is Forest - Propaganda by Edward Bernays - Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed by Jared Diamond - Empires: The Logic of World Domination from Ancient Rome to the United States by Herfried Münkler…
……历史上和当代的帝国与霸权，它们为什么这么做，以及为什么有的早早衰亡、有的却能维系好几个世纪。非常非政治化且客观看待）* 厄休拉·勒瑰恩 - 《伊甸之界》（The Word for World is Forest）、地海传说系列（科幻/奇幻，勒瑰恩和大多数科幻作家很不一样。不过地海是相当标准的法师/巨龙奇幻）* 雷沙德·卡普希钦斯基 - 《与希罗多德一起旅行》……
…historical and contemporary empires and hegemonies, why they did what they did, and why they failed early or managed to stay for centuries. Very non-political and matter-of-factly) * Ursula K. LeGuin - The Word for World is Forest, The Earthsea Saga (Science Fiction/Fantasy, LeGuin is pretty different from most sci-fi-writers. Earthsea is pretty standard magicians/dragons-fantasy, though) * Ryszard Kapuściński - Travels with Herodotus…
