内容简介
······
Two months have past since a myriad of alien objects clenched about the Earth, screaming as they burned. The heavens have been silent since–until a derelict space probe hears whispers from a distant comet. Something talks out there: but not to us.
Who you do send to meet the alien
when the alien doesn't want to meet?
You send a linguist with multiple personalities carved surgically into her brain. You send
a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultra-
sound, so compromised by grafts and splices he no longer feels his own flesh. You
send a pacifist warrior whose career-defining moment was an act of treason. You
send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called
vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics
and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist — an
informational topologist with half his mind gone — as an
interface between here and there, a conduit through
which the Dead Center might hope to understand
the Bleeding Edge.
You send them all to the edge of interstellar space, praying you
can trust such freaks and retrofits with the fate of a world.
You fear they may be more alien than the thing they've
been sent to find.
But you'd give anything for that to be true, if you
only knew what was waiting for them…

Well if this isn’t mind-fucking I don’t know what it is. 大概看明白了。然而并没有真正明白。一大半生词没有中文解释。（至少电子版的内置辞典里没有）唯一欣慰的是发现中文版的读者短评也都是“文字太难啃了”。所以，至少艰涩感翻译过去了？确定自己读懂的一个梗是“罗夏”，未知的外星物体取这么个名字真是令人回味无穷。回头一想，一个发生在deep spac…
Really remarkable – one of the best SF books I've read in some time.
好多想法跟我一样啊，伤感！
"So there you have it: a memoir told from meat to machinery. A tale told to myself, for lack of someone else to take an interest."haha,I'm interested……..
