Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards
In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.
Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister.
Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. "Ender's Game" is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
“在这个荒诞的时代,我们需要科幻。”

★ 当黑夜降临,宇宙幕布开启,欢迎来到科幻大师布拉德伯里的脑内小剧场
★ 18则“黑镜”式怪诞诗意反转剧
★ 《华氏451》的大火从这里开始燃烧,《火星编年史》的飞船自此地启航
《图案人》是科幻大师雷•布拉德伯里的经典短篇小说集。以一个全身遍布可以预知未来的文身图案的神秘男子为线索,牵出18则“黑镜”式天马行空的科幻奇妙物语,每一篇都有诗意而奇诡的想象和出人意料的结局。本书曾于1969年被改编为cult电影,同名系列剧集预计将于2022年由《超感猎杀》导演迈克尔•斯特拉辛斯基搬上荧幕。
作为公认的科幻大师,布拉德伯里的作品别具一格:并非硬核科幻,却能洞察人性和科技间最尖锐的矛盾,抵达内心深处的欲望和恐惧。每个故事都像一则寓言,穿梭在科幻与现实、戏谑与严肃之间,悲观而又不乏对人类未来最真诚的期望。那些美丽的奇思妙想,金色的怀旧,偶尔加剧的刺痛,提醒着我们未曾老去的好奇心。
特以此精装典藏版,纪念雷•布拉德伯里。他是科幻界的爱伦•坡,狡黠而热忱的怪老头。天空中有以他名字命名的小行星,火星上有向他作品致敬的火山口。他是斯皮尔伯格、史蒂芬金的缪斯。他去世时美国总统亲自致悼词。如今,他离开我们八年了。来看看他笔下的世界,和我们身处的世界,有着怎样可悲又可叹的相似?
In the year 2301, guns are only museum pieces and benign telepaths sweep the minds of the populace to detect crimes before they happen. In 2301 murder is virtually impossible, but one man is about to change that...
Ben Reich, a psychopathic business magnate, has devised the ultimate scheme to eliminate the competition and destroy the order of his society. The Demolished Man is a masterpiece of imaginative suspense, set in a superbly imagined world in which everything has changed except the ancient instinct for murder.
本书是第一届世界科幻大奖“雨果奖”得主阿尔弗雷德·贝斯特最著名的长篇科幻小说,一经出版就引起轰动,至今仍有不少科幻作家表示,《群星,我的归宿》是他们一生的至爱。此书历经半个多世纪的考验仍屹立不倒,评论家称颂贝斯特的想像力“远远走在了时代的前面”。《群星,我的归宿》是一部想像瑰丽壮观,情节惊心动魄,同时又发人深思的杰作。贝斯特在书中构筑了一个人们能依靠思维进行瞬间移动的生动未来,呈现了一个被遗弃的人在那样的特定环境中艰苦而又疯狂的复仇之路。

“1923年以来100本最佳英文小说”之一
“赛博朋克”圣经 • 史无前例的得奖记录:囊括雨果奖、星云奖、菲利普•迪克奖
这就是催生了《黑客帝国》的那部小说
它开启了赛博朋克这个文学类型,它给了我们“网络空间”这个词,它将这个世界带到了信息时代,它提供了无数灵感给《黑客 帝国》《攻壳机动队》以及所有最先锋的音乐、时尚、游戏……
而它仍然新鲜得仿佛昨天才刚刚写出来,仍然眩目得可以震撼到未来三十年的人类。
“这部小说问世十年后,我们才终于认识到它的重大意义。” ——《纽约时报》
“这里有无数个大千世界,这是写给都市流浪人的歌,它如此耀眼,又如此颓靡……” ——《华盛顿邮报》
一个天才黑客,一个女杀手,一个特种部队军官,一个意识操控专家。他们受雇去做两件事:偷一把钥匙,获得一个密码。
他们是职业罪犯,同时也是无可救药的厌世者;他们自我放逐,同时也在下意识寻找一条回家的路。而他们的雇主,则是人类自有文明以来所遇到过的最强大对手……
“科幻鬼才”菲利普·迪克成长于西方科技文明创造出的崭新辉煌的时代。彼时,人类进入了太空,登上了月球,成功制造出第一台工业用机器人……科技的蓬勃发展也催生出主流科幻小说对人类创造力的无比自信,克拉克、阿西莫夫和海因莱因撑起了西方科幻的黄金时代。可是,迪克却反其道而行之,他的主人公迷惘于亦真亦假的世界上,挣扎于文明的陷落中,充满了对生命的依恋和对人性的追求。
《仿生人会梦见电子羊吗?》是菲利普·迪克最负盛名的作品,小说描述了从一天早晨到第二天早晨的二十多个小时,主人公里克·德卡德为了赏金追杀几个仿生人的过程,历经无数变故,狗血共桃花一色,阴谋与暴力齐飞。小说里的人类受到地球辐射尘的影响,相貌丑陋,很多在心智上都发生了退化,而仿生人却外表堂堂,多才多艺。当仿生人在外表和心智上无限逼近人类,甚至表面上已经超越人类时,人究竟何以为人?
1982年,菲利普·迪克去世后不久,根据《仿生人会梦见电子羊吗?》改编的电影《银翼杀手》上映,雷德利·斯科特导演。电影笼罩着一种迷离、朦胧、似幻似真的基调,描绘了一个末世大都市洛杉矶,是后世无数赛博朋克电影的鼻祖之作。我是谁?我从哪里来?要到哪里去?对这个哲学终极命题的探讨,让这部电影成为科幻电影史上的经典之作,也赋予其历久弥新的魅力。
2017年,电影续集《银翼杀手2049》在北美定档10月6日,也即将与中国观众见面。关于生存和生命的意义,我们永远没有确切答案。
核战后,放射尘让地球上的动物濒临灭绝,地球已不再适合人类居住。为了鼓励残存的人口移民,政府承诺,只要移民到外星球,就为每人自动配备一个仿生人帮助其生活。仿生人不满足于被人类奴役的现状,想方设法逃回地球。
小说主人公里克·德卡德是一名专门追捕逃亡仿生人的赏金猎人。在一次追捕行动中,里克遭遇了新型仿生人前所未有的挑战。九死之后,能否一生?在与仿生人的接触和较量中,里克发现自己对仿生人的看法和态度有了很大的改变。这种改变究竟是福还是祸?
本小说讲述了家用机器人的专利发明者佩特受骗后,利用冷藏休眠和时空跃迁“科技”,挫败了骗子们的计谋,维护专利权益的“故事”。 时间旅行无疑是科幻领域最让人着迷又最让人迷惑的永恒话题之一。关于时间旅行的理论,最重要的是怎么自圆其说,避免“时间悖论”,并且不落俗套。海因莱因的确是个故事高手,整个称得上故事滴水不漏。目前可以解释得较为圆满的时间理论之一:历史已经注定,如果回到过去干预历史,所作所为正恰恰促成了历史——是谓“宿命论”;之二:我们回到过去,的确已经改变了历史,但那只是众多平行发展的宇宙中的一个,未被改变历史仍在另外的宇宙中发展着——是谓“平行宇宙论”。现在这些理论不算新奇,不过想到本书乃是956年的作品,作者的超前性就可见一斑了。前者目前更为被接受,但是在很多作品中运用此理论时往往会有意在前边做下许多铺垫,但却经常过于明显,以致很容易就让人猜出结局。而海因莱因处理得相当巧妙,前边不着痕迹,似有似无,让人疑云丛生,后边又巧妙地画完了整个圆。尤其出彩的地方是关于怎么回到过去的处理。一般低俗点儿的就是找个“野博士”,高雅点儿的又得扯出一套一套的,生硬无趣。而海因莱因立足在了中间领域。哈伯特·特威彻博士/教授,掌握了最美妙的技术,却被困在军方的军事秘密之下。作为科学家,成果的不到公布承认,只能放在政治家的柜子里,实在是哑巴吃黄连。主人公丹正是抓住了这点,用不算太正经的激将法,在无奈地刺激了老科学家本已受伤的心后[最后主人公也算作了汇报],的最终使自己达到了返回过去的目的。
科幻小说宗师、赛博朋克之父威廉•吉布森的经典代表作。
“赛博朋克”圣经《神经漫游者》的续集,30年来首次登陆中国。
