内容简介
······

In the ashes of a dying world, Red finds a letter marked “Burn before reading. Signed, Blue.”

So begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents in a war that stretches through the vast reaches of time and space.

Red belongs to the Agency, a post-singularity technotopia. Blue belongs to Garden, a single vast consciousness embedded in all organic matter. Their pasts are bloody and their futures mutually exclusive. They have nothing in common—save that they’re the best, and they’re alone.

Now what began as a battlefield boast grows into a dangerous game, one both Red and Blue are determined to win. Because winning’s what you do in war. Isn’t it?

A tour de force collaboration from two powerhouse writers that spans the whole of time and space.

评论 ······

《手把手教你如何写情书》。很散漫的故事结构，与其说是科幻不如是奇幻。过于跳跃的时间线加上略意识流的写作很难让我沉浸其中，被交口称赞的“浪漫”也在这种情况下显得easy and cheap了，不过在看到 “I hope you won’t mind my feeling a little proud of you for such a magnificent betrayal.”这句的时候还是被惊艳…

写得很好啊 goodreads上也快4分了 怎么豆瓣分打这么低

把书信写在树木的年轮里，写在鳕鱼的身体上，写进熔岩，写进一只偶然邂逅的加拿大鹅脱下的两朵羽毛……just so romantic。

读一半就能猜出剧情 书信里描述的半吊子世界观让人没头没脑；虽然书信感人 但不是都因为爱情愿意为对方牺牲自己了吗 女主之一又有了老公什么鬼。。。很失望
