【内容简介】
自我是一场幻觉，选择并不存在，真理不是大厦，是流沙……
如何在动荡不安的世界活下去？
三卷本收录了当代硬科幻大师格雷格·伊根三十年创作生涯的20篇经典力作。伊根火遍西方世界和日本，却从不曾以真面目示人：不签名，不混圈子，全网不露照片，甚至邮箱的线索都以智力题来呈现。他认为，人的内在和外部世界一样是可以用自然科学认知的，观念、人格、记忆甚至爱都能从物理学深处找到解释。我们能够认知一切，只要我们足够勇敢。
作者简介
格雷格·伊根（1961——），澳大利亚籍科幻作家。早年梦想成为电影导演，后在医院当程序员。1980年代开始发表作品，成名后专职写作。他被媒体和科幻迷誉为“现代科幻的最高峰”，是“极致的硬科幻”创作运动的核心人物。伊根青少年时期曾短暂信仰宗教，后成为坚定的无神论者，长期关注难民问题。他的作品致力于通过艺术提升科学的形象，让人们明白科学与爱情、宗教一样，都对人类生活至关重要。
“我们是物质宇宙的一部分，物质宇宙的规律可以通过推理和观察来发现——这是我们历史上最深刻和最有力的见解，但大多数文学作品，包括大部分科幻，要么忽略了这一事实，要么就轻视了它。”
——格雷格·伊根
【 Content Introduction 】
Self is an illusion, choice does not exist, truth is not an edifice, it is quicksand...
How to survive in a turbulent world?
This three-volume collection features 20 classic works from the 30-year career of Greg Egan, a master of contemporary hard science fiction. Egan has become popular in the Western world and Japan, but he has never shown his real face: no signatures, no circles, no photos on the Internet, and even the clues to his email are presented as puzzles. He believed that people's inner world and the external world can be understood by natural science, and ideas, personality, memory and even love can be explained from the depths of physics. We can know everything if we are brave enough.
About the author
Greg Egan (1961 -) is an Australian science fiction writer. In his early years, he dreamed of becoming a film director and later worked as a programmer in a hospital. He began publishing in the 1980s and became famous as a professional writer. He has been hailed by the media and science fiction fans as "the highest peak of modern science fiction" and is the core figure of the "extreme hard science fiction" creation movement. Egan, who was briefly religious as a teenager and later became a committed atheist, has long been concerned about refugees. His work aims to raise the profile of science through art and make people understand that science is as essential to human life as love and religion.
"We are part of a physical universe whose laws can be discovered by reason and observation - this is the deepest and most powerful insight in our history, yet most literature, including much of science fiction, either ignores this fact or trivialises it."
-- Greg Egan
