“那是在9·11之后。爆炸袭击之后。伊拉克战争之后。7·7事件之后。伊朗战争之后。核爆之后。流感之后。海峡危机之后。Rosyth 之后。在那一天，世界连同其根本假设彻底发生了改变。”“在一个与我们现实仅一步之遥的世界里，网络博主与老派政治操盘手及新派警察竞相角逐，试图界定现实究竟何在。而在每个有线电视系统上，神秘的 Execution Channel 都在全天候轮播来自世界各地的死亡画面。”“James Travis 既是英国爱国者，又是法国间谍。在‘大灾难’降临的那一天……”

眼下读来正应景的书：Ken MacLeod 的《The Execution Channel》（处决频道）。没错，这是一部科幻作品——作者有边缘政治团体的背景，这些团体在冷战期间被积极渗透，并被用于散布假消息，而他…
Apposite reading right now: "The Execution Channel" by Ken Macleod. Yes, it's a work of science fiction -- by someone with a background in fringe political groups who were being actively infiltrated/used for disinformation during the cold war, and who's…
相比太空歌剧，我更喜欢 MacLeod 的近未来题材作品：比如《The Execution Channel》、《The Night Sessions》、《The Restoration Game》、《Intrusion》。鉴于他是个公开的社会主义者，他在作品里对左翼人士毫不留情的政治抨击倒挺耐人寻味的。
I prefer Macleod's near-future stuff to his space opera: e.g. The Execution Channel, The Night Sessions, The Restoration Game, Intrusion. Given he's an avowed socialist, the political battering he deals out to left-wingers in his work is interesting.
…我完全不同意这种评价。我读过的最顶尖的科幻作品都有立得住、动机真实的人物。随手举几个：* Paul McAuley 的 Quiet War（静战）系列 * Ken McLeod 的 Fall Revolution（坠落革命）系列、《The Execution Channel》 * Bester 的《The Stars My Destination》（群星，我的归宿）——最近刚读完，人物弧光虽然照搬了《基督山伯爵》，但那些 SF 设定与装备完全是服务于人物塑造的背景板。
…this assessment at all. The best SF I've read has believable characters with real motivations. Off the top of my head: * Paul McAuley's Quiet War series * Ken McLeod's Fall Revolution series, "The Execution Channel" * Bester's "The Stars My Destination" - a recent read, and the character arc is cribbed from The Count of Monte Cristo, but the SF parafernalia is a backdrop for the character.
Ken MacLeod 的《The Execution Channel》里对此有一个让人极度不适的变体：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Execution_Channel
There is a deeply unpleasant variation on this in Ken MacLeod's The Execution Channel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Execution_Channel
…特朗普当选第 45 任总统。但这绝不是留欧派（Remainer）的幻想：叙利亚城市卡米什利（Qamishli）的一场未指明的冲突将世界推向了核战争的边缘。这让我想起了 Ken MacLeod 的《The Execution Channel》，书里特意提到戈尔当选了总统——而一场袭击波士顿和费城的架空 9/11 事件照样引发了反恐战争。尽管写于 2006 年左右，但感觉…
…Trump as its 45th president. But this is no Remainer fantasy: an unspecified conflict in the Syrian city of Qamishli has brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Reminds me of Ken MacLeod's The Execution Channel, which goes out of its way to mention that Gore was elected president- and an alternate 9/11 that hits Boston and Philadelphia leads to the War on Terror anyway. Though written in 2006 or so, it felt…
Ken MacLeod 的《The Execution Channel》是一部科幻政治间谍惊悚小说，背景设定在一场极度激化的反恐战争中，背景设定是戈尔赢得了总统大选。MacLeod 设置这个架空历史背景是为了说明…
Ken MacLeod's The Execution Channel is a sci-fi political spy thriller taking place in a very intensified war on terror, with a backstory that Gore was elected president. The alternate history backstory was intended by MacLeod to show that…
