Collected together here for the first time are twelve stories by the incomparable Greg Egan, one of the most exciting writers of science fiction working today. In these dozen glimpses into the future Egan continues to explore the essence of what it is to be human, and the nature of what - and who - we are, in stories that range from parables of contemporary human conflict and ambition to far-future tales of our immortal descendants. Return to the universe of the meta-civilization known as the Amalgam, which Egan explored in his critically acclaimed novel Incandescence: 'Riding the Crocodile', which recounts an epic endeavor a million years from now to bridge the divide between the Amalgam and the reclusive Aloof; 'Glory', set in the same future, in which two archaeologists strive to decipher the artefacts of an ancient civilization, and 'Hot Rock', where an obscure, sunless world conceals mind-spinning technological marvels, bitter factional struggles, and a many-layered secret history. This superb collection also includes the title story, the Hugo Award-winning 'Oceanic': a boy is inducted into a religion that becomes the center of his life, but as an adult he must face evidence that casts a new light on his faith.

Greg Egan specializes in hard science fiction stories with mathematical and quantum ontology themes, including the nature of consciousness. Other themes include genetics, simulated reality, posthumanism, mind transfer, sexuality, artificial intelligence, and the superiority of rational naturalism over religion.
He is a Hugo Award winner (and has been shortlisted for the Hugos three other times), and has also won the John W Campbell Memorial Award for Best Novel. Some of his earlier short stories feature strong elements of supernatural horror, while due to his more popular science fiction he is known within the genre for his tendency to deal with complex and highly technical material (including inventive new physics and epistemology) in an unapologetically thorough manner.
Egan is a famously reclusive author when it comes to public appearances, he doesn't attend science fiction conventions, doesn't sign books and there are no photos available of him on the web.

《数学陷落》翻译刍议
在动荡不安的宇宙中诗意地生存下去
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
格雷格·伊根上两部作品《意识上传中》和《闪光骇客》,让我读后颅内持续震荡,属实是被这些脑洞、硬核科幻写作技巧,以及传达的哲学思考惊掉下巴,读完还想再品味几遍。 这次的《数学陷落》收纳了伊根90年代到千禧年初期的12部硬科幻短篇小说的合集,可以看出伊根更“丧心病狂... (展开)格雷格·伊根笔下的后人类视角
如果能挖进伊根先生的心底
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
如果能挖进伊根先生的心底,我想那心底刻着的是——爱。 这本书是我接触格雷格·伊根作品的第四本,依旧是个人风格十分鲜明,有一种我行我素的锋利感。 按照伊根先生自己的说法,他把自己的作品粗旷地分为两大类:外在世界和内在世界,外在世界大多是关于外星、宇宙之类,内在... (展开)科幻界最神秘作家,带来对现实和未来的思考

跌入数学裂隙 世界再次重生
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
这本伊根,诚如书名所提示,确实涉及很多数学和物理学公式定理,那部分的篇目看得本文科生心烦且困倦,但好在并不是整本书都让人觉得艰涩枯燥。事实上,大部分文字还是保持着伊根一贯的人文温度,读来相当之感动或陷入永恒哲学深思。(不过鉴于我真的看不懂量子足球的各种波段... (展开)> 更多书评 18篇
