几二十年内还做不到。再往后就不好说了。当然超越图灵测试之后，还有个词叫技术奇
点（Technological Singularity），说技术一直加速发展下去，总有一天会导致超级
智能的产生，其能力、动机已经复杂到不是原始人脑所能理解掌握的了，就像物理学上
的奇点。人类后代的意识也许需要融汇集成到技术媒介（电脑）中，借助那强大的计算
能力，才能真正与那些超级智能对话。技术奇点的理论是80年代由科幻作家Vernor
Vinge提出来的，后来鼓吹这个理论最卖力的人之一Ray Kurzweil，去年底被招进
Google主持一些前沿研发。也许Google已经在为技术奇点做准备了，哈哈。 |

灵感来自互联网早期的Newsgroup，跟今天BBS灌水也有一拼；一个是Zones of
Thoughts的设定，银河系由内而外划分出来的区域，物理规律的不同会导致智慧能力的
巨大不同；一个是那些狼群的群体智慧生命。
突然想起来我十几年前还写过一个介绍，找了下还能找到：
6. A Fire upon the Deep(深处的圣火)
-- Vernor Vinge
这个标题中, The Deep不单是抽象地指宇宙深处, 也可以指
银河系的四个区域之一. 好的科幻小说应能创造一套理论并
自圆其说. 这部小说的主要创造便是这四个区域的划分: 银
河系按由内至外按照离银核距离的远近, 分为The Unthinking
Depth, The Slow Zone, The Beyond, The Transcend四个区
域. 银河系中的智慧生命通常发源于The Slow Zone, 这里的

想要抢劫，却反成为性奴，对抢匪来说，真不知是福是祸？！（恐怕要取决于女方的长
相）一名32岁的俄罗斯男子查辛斯基（Viktor Jasinski）日前打算抢劫莫斯科的一间发
廊，没想到反被女老板制伏，还成了她的性奴，而且在这期间，女方为了让他保持高昂
的战斗力，只给他吃威而钢。
根据英国每日邮报（Daily Mail）报道，这名28岁的女老板萨恰克（Olga Zajac）是一
位空手道黑带高手，所以在查辛斯基抢劫时，轻易的就将他击倒。
接下的情节，就有如名导演昆汀塔伦提诺（Quentin Tarantino）的经典作品黑色追缉令
（Pulp Fiction）一般。萨恰克将半昏迷的劫匪拖到发廊后的房间，并且把他衣服扒光
，再以吹风机的电线将他绑起；而之后的3天，更是把查辛斯基当作性奴，替他“好好上
了一课”。
被释放后的查辛斯基，赶紧向警方报案，现在两人都已遭到警方逮捕。但萨恰克被捕时
，竟然还大言不惭的表示：“什麽鬼啊！我们是做了几次爱没错，但我让他离开时，不
仅送了条新的牛仔裤跟食物，还给了他1,000元卢布耶！”

客观的说，《三体》三部曲在中国凋零的科幻作品中尚可已读
但远未达到其粉丝所称的大师的程度，其构思和笔力差太多了。
1、以半人马座存在的3体系统而言，不适合生命的进化，特别是在与太阳系临近，也是
类太阳的主序星，其化学元素组成也应是上一次超新星的残余物，也就是说，生命化学
元素组成相近。其3体系统对于行星进化而言，是超级大灾难，根本无法支撑几百个文
明的兴起和进化。基本上，连高等生命的产生也是几乎不可能的。
2、对质子的操作，及对地球的攻击，已经超出了硬、软科幻的范畴，甚至科幻的范畴
，缺乏技术上的前瞻支持，也缺乏科幻理念上的突破，不如说是玄幻。
3、对于宇宙维度的进一步展开，脱离了逻辑性，把高维度的世界和战争等同于低维度
，对于科学小白推广宇宙维度的科普名词尚可，但对于科幻迷和对理论物理有所涉猎的
人来说，其构思和笔力远远不够。尤其是维度攻击，更是无厘头。

今年度JWCMA 桂冠的是凡纳．文区（Vernor Vinge）的《天际深渊》（A
Deepness in the Sky）。第二名、第三名分别由桂格．贝尔（Greg Bear）
的《达尔文电波》（Darwin's Radio）及诺曼．史宾拉德（Norman Spinrad）
的《温室之夏》夺下。另外还有两座「荣誉奖」，得奖的分别是彼得．瓦兹（
Peter Watts）的《海星》（Starfish）和杰克．威廉森（Jack Williamson
）的《矽晶匕首》（The Silicon Dagger）。这五部作品除了《达尔文电波》
外，全部都是由托尔出版公司（Tor Books）发行，再度证明该公司十馀年来
在科奇幻出版界无法撼动的龙头地位。而获得前两名的作品，也同时入围今年
度的雨果奖，足见两位作者的写作功力不单具有文学价值，更能受到众多科幻

以假设有些别的智慧生命形式也有性别之分, 彼此之间的感情可以和
人类的爱情进行类比. 这里我所说的性别是指参与繁衍后代缺一不可
的若干个干体间的区别, 那些和繁衍后代无关的特质不应称为性别.
阿西莫夫的The Gods Themselves描写了一种极为奇特的, 基于不同
的强相互作用而生存的生命. 那是另外一种物理基础上的生命, 有三

说里这三种性别各有不同的个性, 一个是感性的, 敏感脆弱, 喜欢感
情用事, 用"she"称呼; 一个是理性的, 精密严谨, 擅长学习思考;
一个是父性的, 坚韧宽厚, 用于哺育后代; 后两者都用"he"来称呼.
读者感动于这份感情的时候若想代入, 性别认同的问题倒还不是太严

先交代一下俺评Sci-Fi主要靠下列标准：（1）主题想象水平，（2）人物塑造，（3）
讲故事的技术，（4）语言意境。
主题：主要技术是现在的ubiquitous computing之扩展。这要发IEEE杂志上该算是惊天
动地了，跟CS类的硬科幻比起来还是感觉平常。Belief circle的题材本来不错，非要
一而再再而三的渲染，最后看得烦了，只好大段跳过。
人物：比较不寻常的一点：大半人物是老头老太太，而且最后是这群CS界老帮菜挽救了
世界（Vinge从SDSU退休后不服气?）。顾诗人推敲自己诗歌创作的意识流部分，虽然有
斧凿痕迹，塑造也不特别生动，在硬科幻也算难得的尝试。
讲故事：开头很精彩，到了一半大场面撑不下去了。最后那个不是豹尾，是老鼠尾巴... |
