At first it seemed impossible - a radio signal that came not from Earth but from far beyond the nearest stars. But then the signal was translated, and what had been impossible became terrifying.

At first it seemed impossible - a radio signal that came not from Earth but from far beyond the nearest stars. But then the signal was translated, and what had been impossible became terrifying. For the signal contains the information to build a Machine that can travel to the stars. A Machine that can take a human to meet those that sent the message. They are eager to meet us: they have been watching and waiting for a long time. And now they will judge.
Years before, he had invented a module that, when a television commercial appeared, automatically muted the sound. It wasn't at first a context recognition device. Instead, it simply monitored the amplitude of the carrier wave. TV advertisers had taken ...

读的另外版本的原版，随后瞟了一眼翻译本，果然不像人话，糟蹋经典。电影连看两遍，非常喜欢，读完书才知道砍得那么狠，情节和人物有丰满，但深度远远不及，怪不得有些关键地方莫名其妙。卡尔萨根的这本唯一的科幻小说恐怕被严重低估了，这种不编造不架空不狗血不夹私货，对终极命题和人类命运拷问的正面强攻式的科幻太稀少了。有出版社打算重出这本的中文版吗，本人自荐翻译之。

每一个字用的都恰到好处， 每一段写的都像诗一样美， 每一章的结构紧紧相扣，故事娓娓道来。 凄美动人又不落俗套， 恢弘大气又不形而上。 张弛有度，犹如繁星可以像点点冰霜一样寒冷，也能像太阳一样炙热。 水火不容的科学与宗教在这里融会贯通，合二为一。

Audiobook read by Jodie Foster（超赞！）, abridged. 很多似曾相识的桥段，感觉又要入梦来了。而且人类果然是有“falling-into-an-endless-black-hole complex”的-0- 听会了一个新词：dodecahedron！
