虽然不算完全意义上的单一性别星球，但弗兰克·赫伯特也写过《白色瘟疫》[1]，讲的是一种只杀死女性的基因工程瘟疫，背景设定在差不多是当代的复刻版现实地球上。这是我读过最吓人的书之一。对于大多数科幻小说来说，往往有一个清晰的……
It's not quite a true single-gender planet, but Frank Herbert also wrote The White Plague [1], a story about a bioengineered plague that kills only women, set in more or less the present day on a copy of real Earth. One of the scarier books I've read. For most science fiction, there's a clear…
去看看弗兰克·赫伯特的《白色瘟疫》吧。另外杰里·波奈尔写过很多关于“共治体”（CoDominium）的小说，那是一个美苏联盟，目的是压制可能引发动荡的科学研究。
Check out The White Plague by Frank Herbert. And Jerry Pournelle wrote a lot of novels about the CoDominium, an alliance between the US & USSR to suppress scientific research due to the instability it could cause.
人人都该读读弗兰克·赫伯特的《白色瘟疫》。任何东西都能成为传播媒介。
Everyone should read Frank Herbert’s White Plague. The transmission vector can be anything.
……在被迫去读他们的作品时，热情都被榨干了。我也不知道为什么。也许是我个人的问题吧。我觉得赫伯特非《沙丘》系列的作品写得极好，但同时也极其令人不安。我十几岁时读了《白色瘟疫》，现在每当读到现代基因驱动（gene drive）技术时都会想起它。ConSentiency 系列的故事和书一直伴随着我至今，我还会定期重读。无论是《海尔斯特罗姆的……
…sucked out reading their works when I was forced to do it. I don't know why. Personal failing, maybe. I thought Herbert's non-_Dune_ works were very good while also being very disturbing. I read _The White Plague_ in my teens and am reminded of it whenever I read about modern gene drive technology. The ConSentiency stories and books have stayed with me to this day, and I periodically re-read them. Both _Hellstrom's…
读读弗兰克·赫伯特的《白色瘟疫》。我十几岁时看这书被吓得够呛。考虑到人类经历了二十万年依然没能摆脱部落主义，光是想到针对特定族群基因的病毒就……
Read The White Plague by Frank Herbert. Scared the heck out of me as a teen. Considering how humanity still hasn't escaped tribalism even after two hundred millennia, just the thought of genealogically targeted viruses are…
