为什么值得读
- 短篇节奏明快，密集展现脑洞大开的科幻构想
- 深刻探讨广泛基因改造与种子专利过度保护
- 描绘残酷但符合逻辑的人口与生态危机图景
社会批判、政治寓言与环保主张是 Paolo Bacigalupi 作品的核心。收录于此的每个故事既是警告，也是对人类体验之悲喜剧的赞颂。Pump Six 中的十一篇故事代表了 Paolo Bacigalupi 的最高水准，包括获得 Hugo 奖提名的《Yellow Card Man》、同时获得 Nebula 奖与 Hugo 奖提名的《The People of Sand and Slag》，以及荣获 Sturgeon Award 的《The Calorie Man》。

……简直是科幻小说的完美载体，因为它能让精妙的脑洞迅速铺陈展开。不妨看看《The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson》、特德·姜的《你一生的故事》（Stories of Your Life and Others）和《呼吸》（Exhalation）、保罗·巴奇加卢皮的《六号泵及其他故事》（Pump Six and Other Stories），以及威廉·吉布森的《全息玫瑰碎片》（Burning Chrome）。
…the perfect format for science fiction, since it lets brilliant ideas play out rapidly. Check out “The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson”, “Stories of Your Life and Others” and “Exhalation” by Ted Chiang, “Pump Six and Other Stories” by Paolo Bacigalupi, and “Burning Chrome” by William Gibson.
……顺理成章。这部小说本质上讲的是为了保持人口恒定，你不得不做出的其他残酷抉择。[0] 这出自保罗·巴奇加卢皮的多篇短篇小说合集。我记得应该是《六号泵及其他故事》（Pump Six and Other Stories）。合集里大部分小说都相当悲观，但同时又显得足够真实可信，仿佛真的会发生一样。我也推荐同一作者的《发条女孩》（The Windup Girl）。
…logical. The novel is essentially about the other grim decisions you have to take to have a constant population. [0] This was in a book with multiple short stories from Paolo Bacigalupi. I believe this is Pump Six and Other Stories. Most of the novel are rather pessimistic, but at the same times sounds plausible enough to happen. I also recommend The Wind Up Girl from the same author.
保罗·巴奇加卢皮是个好作家，在世界观构建上很有创意。《发条女孩》和《水刀》（很切合这个帖子）都是好作品。如果你喜欢他的长篇小说，收录在《六号泵及其他故事》里的短篇也绝对值得一读。他在书里还探讨了广泛的基因改造和农作物过度专利保护可能带来的后果。
Paolo Bacigalupi is a good writer with a creative take on world building. Both The Windup Girl and The Water Knife (on topic for this thread) are good reads. His short stories collected in Pump Six and Other Stories are worth digging into as well if you like his novels. He goes into the potential effects of widespread gene modification and excessive patent protection of crops as well.
给《水刀》点一千个赞，简直太棒了。巴奇加卢皮还写过一本叫《六号泵及其他故事》的书。如果你喜欢废土废品朋克（scrappunk），那里面收录的《沙渣之人》（The People of Sand and Slag）相当不错。我不知道现代拆船业的解法是什么，但我相信人类有能力做得更好。……
+1000 for The Water Knife, just excellent. Bacigalupi wrote another book called Pump Six and Other Stories. If you enjoy scrappunk then the story "The People of Sand and Slag" from that collection is pretty good. I don't know the solution to modern ship breaking, but I think we have it in us to be better.…
我想补充一句，保罗·巴奇加卢皮的《六号泵及其他故事》也非常好看。《六号泵》描绘的图景和福斯特的《机器休止》（The Machine Stops）很像，但视角不同。两部作品都很棒，同时又令人毛骨悚然。
I want to add that "Pump Six and Other Stories" by Paolo Bacigalupi is also a great read. "Pump Six" also paints a similar picture to Forster's "The Machine Stops", but with a different perspective. Both are great and horrifying at the same time.
你应该读读 E·M·福斯特的《机器休止》（The Machine Stops）。另外，《六号泵及其他故事》里的同名短篇《六号泵》也能极佳地带你切入这种“大家都忘了该怎么维护机器”的现实。
You should read "The Machine Stops" by E. M. Forster. Also, "Pump Six" from "Pump Six and Other Stories" will also do fantastic job of diving into this "forgetting how to maintain them" reality.
