One night in October when he was ten years old, Tyler Dupree stood in his back yard and watched the stars go out. They all flared into brilliance at once, then disappeared, replaced by a flat, empty black barrier. He and his best friends, Jason and Diane Lawton, had seen what became known as the Big Blackout. It would shape their lives. The effect is worldwide. The sun is now a featureless disk--a heat source, rather than an astronomical object. The moon is gone, but tides remain. Not only have the world's artificial satellites fallen out of orbit, their recovered remains are pitted and aged, as though they'd been in space far longer than their known lifespans. As Tyler, Jason, and Diane grow up, a space probe reveals a bizarre truth: The barrier is artificial, generated by huge alien artifacts. Time is passing faster outside the barrier than inside--more than a hundred million years per year on Earth. At this rate, the death throes of the sun are only about forty years in our future. Jason, now a promising young scientist, devotes his life to working against this slow-moving apocalypse. Diane throws herself into hedonism, marrying a sinister cult leader who's forged a new religion out of the fears of the masses. Earth sends terraforming machines to Mars to let the onrush of time do its work, turning the planet green. Next they send humans...and immediately get back an emissary with thousands of years of stories to tell about the settling of Mars. Then Earth's probes reveal that an identical barrier has appeared around Mars. Jason, desperate, seeds near space with self-replicating machines that will scatter copies of themselves outward from the sun--and report back on what they find. Life on Earth is about to get much, much stranger.

8.7小时快速扫完E文原版,主要找科幻构想相关的情节看。这本书得过雨果星云双奖,评价也很高,但我觉得构思虽奇特宏大但及不上三体,儿女情长描写太多十分枯燥,情节高潮到90%处才开始,前面全是铺垫。最后好象外星人对智慧文明极善良,帮人类解决面临崩溃的问题,还花了几亿年收集材料建了星际传送门让人类能方便我到另一个宜居星球生存,那里环境与地球很接近还有食物。。。我只想问名外星人:WHY!!

补英文版。不是半断网状态大概很难安下心读完。仍然是最喜欢的科幻作品之一:少年天才+友情+新人类,每个元素都赛高~ 可惜第二部和第三部都很平庸呢。

我喜欢它的人文气息。比大部分所谓的文学作品都更有文采和巧思。没有叙诡之类的技巧,其中科幻的元素就让它足够好看。当然不足之处也是有的,比如zz权力游戏和对人性黑暗的刻画。但比起三体我更喜欢这本。因为他真正关心生命到底是什么,所谓的高级生命到底意味这什么。而不再是一味的大逃杀游戏,强调终归虚无的结局。Everybody fails, and we all land somewhere. 已厌倦地上血流... 我喜欢它的人文气息。比大部分所谓的文学作品都更有文采和巧思。没有叙诡之类的技巧,其中科幻的元素就让它足够好看。当然不足之处也是有的,比如zz权力游戏和对人性黑暗的刻画。但比起三体我更喜欢这本。因为他真正关心生命到底是什么,所谓的高级生命到底意味这什么。而不再是一味的大逃杀游戏,强调终归虚无的结局。Everybody fails, and we all land somewhere. 已厌倦地上血流成河的历史和纸上连篇累牍的谎言。想要知道存在的意义?远离神棍。远离暴徒。在这个意义上,医生永远是个值得向往的职业。科技是真正可靠的标尺和拐杖。The art of dying is the art of living.

读过最好的科幻之一,描述中的外星人很符合逻辑。题材很新颖,终于不是外星人想办法要抢我们地盘的设定了。很久以前读的,已经忘记很多东西了,希望有空能把英文读后感补上

人物间细腻的情感与茫茫宇宙的宏大交相呼应,好一本浪漫的科幻小说。面对一场几十年后才将到来的末日,有人皈依宗教,有人相信科学,有人若无其事的继续生活,也有人干脆一了百了。所有的选择也许到头来都是种逃避,不过每个人终将得到自己想要的归宿。原以为结局会黑暗无比,没想到却充满了爱。渺小的人类在无边宇宙下,一切竟是如此美丽。
