INSISTENCE OF VISION
Book ID/图书代码： 08859317B98450
English Summary/英文概要： What may we become? How will we endure? The future is a daunting realm, filled with real and imagined perils. So enter it prepared! Here are vivid tales about possible tomorrows, from the keen eye and colorful pen of David Brin, a modern master of speculative fiction. Visit a chillingly plausible tomorrow, when prisoners may be sent to asteroidal gulags. Or might prisons vanish and felons roam, seeing only what society allows? Suppose, amid lavish success, we gain the superpower to fly! Will we even appreciate it… or will we find new reasons to complain? In "Mars Opposition," you’ll experience an alien invasion like no other, confronting humanity with a stark and terrible choice… followed by several more tales of conquest from beyond, each of them wildly different. On the other hand, might fantastically potent new beings emerge out of ourselves, as revealed in "Chrysalis”? Featuring guest appearances by Gregory Benford, Jules Verne, and Galileo, this adventure takes you beyond the very singularity in “Stones of Significance,” pondering what could happen after humans are like gods. And “Reality Check” asks one of you readers – just one of you – to wake up! Tomorrow awaits. We can face it and prevail. So long as our stance is brave INSISTENCE OF VISION.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我们可以成为什么?我们将如何忍受?未来是一个令人生畏的领域，充满了真实和想象的危险。所以进去准备!下面是关于未来的生动的故事，来自于大卫•布林的敏锐的眼睛和彩色的笔，他是一位现代的投机小说大师。访问一个令人不安的明天，囚犯可能会被送往星状古拉格集中营。或者，监狱会消失，重罪犯会四处游荡，只看到社会允许的东西吗?假设，在巨大的成功中，我们获得了超级大国能飞了！我们会感激它吗?还是会找到新的理由去抱怨?在“火星抵抗”中，你将经历一场外星人的入侵，就像没有其他的一样，面对人类，面对一个残酷而可怕的选择。接着又有更多的关于征服的故事，每一个都有很大的不同。另一方面，像“克莱斯勒”中所揭示的那样，可能会有那么强大的新生命出现吗?在格雷戈里•本福德、儒勒•凡尔纳, 和伽利略的客串演出中，这一冒险让你超越了“意义上的石头”的奇异之处，思考着人类像上帝一样会发生什么。而“现实检查”则要求你的一个读者——只是其中一个——醒来！明天等待。我们可以面对并获胜。只要我们的立场是勇敢地坚持愿景。（WYL）
