Read the book. Then read it again. It''s even better the second
time SFX on NEWTON''S WAKE Stunningly assured, inventive and
intelligent Iain M Banks on Ken Macleod A hectic ride, through
slaloms of audacious complexity, irreverent ingenuity and paradox
as purposeful as it is playful Guardian
內容簡介:
The Hard Rapture took Earth''s best minds away. Now the rest
are about to find out where they went ...Centuries ago, space
settlers and soldiers fled to the stars from the sentient AI war
machines that engulfed Earth. They colonised Eurydice, a planet
whose rocks contain traces of its own war machines - some of which
still guard a vast, enigmatic artifact on a remote tundra. When an
expedition raids this strange artifact, the Eurydiceans discover
that they weren''t the last survivors of humanity after all. Their
leisured lifestyle is about to be disrupted by new arrivals for
whom Eurydice is a prize worth fighting over. And the long-dormant
war machines are awakening ...Newton''s Wake is a stunning
stand-alone space opera, charting the struggle for human survival
in a universe dominated by post-human intelligence.
