内容简介
······

But in the normal course of life, our need for air is far from our thoughts, and indeed many would say that satisfying that need is the least important part of going to the filling stations. For the filling stations are the primary venue for social conversation, the places from which we draw emotional sustenance as well as physical. We all keep spare sets of full lungs in our homes, but when one is alone, the act of opening one’s chest and replacing one’s lungs can seem little better than a chore. In the company of others, however, it becomes a communal activity, a shared pleasure

评论 ······

想象力还是卓绝，但翻译过来的中文版看起来似乎总有写没传达够意思的感觉。少了韵味。

十分美妙的短篇。literally 自我解剖和思考的过程。“我所有的欲望和沉思都是我们宇宙缓缓呼出的气流。在这漫长的呼气结束前，我的思维将一直存在。”

太精彩了TAT 可能是他完成度最高的作品之一 特德姜的作品和其他一切我阅读过的科幻作品都不同 很多的科幻作品读几句就能看出来作者的设定来源 譬如《北京折叠》的贫富差距《爱的算法》的人类思维和AI思维辩题等等 然而特德姜的科幻几乎都是架空的设定 我每次阅读的时候都会惊讶这么自成体系的世界观是怎么创作出来的（后来想到这篇文章的设定可能对应现实世界的“熵”）因此他的作品也会花大量笔墨在小说描绘的世界的详…

不得不说这是篇硬科幻杰作。虽然对我来说有点太硬了，读来稍显沉闷。但结尾处的展开实在磅礴大气，很震撼。特德写短篇绝对是一等一的好手。
