THE SECOND DOG WAR: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 03100918C00001
English Summary/英文概要： A hospital manager who once fought corruption has
now been corrupted himself. His love for his wife is so strong that he forces his secretary to go under the knife to look just like her. It’s not just the wife and the secretary who look alike. People in general start resembling each other. Some come to resemble the hospital manager himself, some pets start to resemble their owners, and some owners their pets. This is how the war starts, The Second Dog War. The terrifying atmosphere of the book is richly laced with black comedy.
This is the future, where the day ends in five hours, the environment is in decay, and humans are turning savage. Leaving the war behind, people of the earth depart to live on five planets. The native residents of the five planets agree to host these new refugees.
The novel predicts what humans are becoming
because of their increased intolerance and
fanaticism. Human beings have refused to accept
others who are different, but will they accept others who are similar? The question that echoes
throughout the novel remains unanswered: someone
has to tell us what is it that humans really want?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 曾经与腐败作斗争的医院经理也堕落了。出于对妻子强烈的爱，他强迫自己的秘书也整成了妻子的模样。不仅是这两人变得非常相像。大家都开始互相变得相像。有些人开始和医院经理相像，有些宠物开始像他们的主人，有些主人则开始像他们的宠物。这就是战争开始的方式——第二场狗的战争。本书笼罩在令人恐惧的氛围之中，又蕴藏着丰富的黑色幽默。
这就是未来，五小时后地球就要毁灭，环境正在衰败，人类变得野蛮。地球上的人将战争抛诸脑后，纷纷离开居住到五个星球上去。那五个星球上的原住民答应收留这些新的难民。
小说预言了由于人们变得越来越不宽容又狂热，人类会变成什么样。人类拒绝接受不同的人，但他们会接受相似的人吗？在小说中回响的问题仍然没有答案：必须有人告诉我们人类真正想要的是什么。（LYR）
