  太多人渴望預知未來,但什麼是真正的「預知未來」?

  但如果有一天,你突然發現自己真的能預知未來,看見自己未來的一生,看到生命中點點滴滴的幸福甜蜜,可是有一天,你會遭遇可怕的災難,而那卻是你絕對無法逃避的,因為所謂的未來,真正的定義是即將來臨的既定事實,是已經實現的未來,再也無法改變,只能一天一天照你看到的那樣過下去,直到那天來臨……那麼,這樣的人生,你要怎麼過?

  你真的想預知未來嗎?

  也許,看不到未來,才是真正的幸福

  因為你還有機會寫下不可知的、有無限可能的、妳一生的故事

  有一天,外星飛行體出現在地球上空的軌道,並且在全球各地放置了一種怪異的通訊裝置,看起來像一面六公尺寬的半圓形的牆,只要有人靠近,就會變成透明。

  外星人似乎沒有明顯敵意,那麼,剩下的問題是:他們為什麼要來地球?應該最先找誰和他們接觸?誰最有能力解答這個問題?

  於是,美國軍方找上了語言學家:一位全球公認最頂尖的語言學家──露伊絲班克斯博士。

  然而,一開始困難重重,因為外星人的文字和地球上任何一種文字都截然不同,沒有語法,沒有字句。後來,露伊絲逐漸發現,那是一種符號,單一的符號代表某個事物,然後可以無限連結擴大成一個更巨大的符號,描述一個複雜的事件。更驚人的是,那種符號就是外星人意識的呈現,而符號裡的訊息打破了時間的線性,過去現在和未來是同時存在的,而且所有的內容都是在敘述一個未來確定存在的事實。也就是說:使用那種符號的人,一定知道……

  最後,露伊絲終於學會了那種符號,然後,她發現自己也有了那種能力,因為她看到……

  8篇故事,每一篇都像一顆小型核彈在你腦內炸開,爆破想像的極限

  逼你問自己:我為什麼是人?什麼是人生?

  遠古時代,巴比倫人渴望看到上帝所創造的完整世界,於是他們建造了一座巨塔,直達天頂。天頂是一大片大理石般的平面,鑿穿了,就能夠進入天堂,看到上帝。然而,當他們鑿穿了天頂,他們看到的是……

  有一個人因為溺水而大腦受損,在接受一種實驗性藥物治療之後,他發展出驚人的智能。為了避開政府的注意,他偷了藥物逃離醫院,不久,他的智能已經高到難以想像,掌握了人類所有的知識技能,甚至能夠操控世界經濟。他開始對人類世界感到不屑,直到有一天,他發現外面還有另一個和他一樣從醫院逃走的人。那個人比他早接受治療,也就是說,智能比他高,但和他不一樣的是,那個人想幫助人類。現在,那個人盯上他了,因為他對人類是一種威脅……

  想像我們的世界,上帝是真實存在的,常常可以看到天使降臨,有時展現神蹟救人,有時掀起災難殺人,而地面偶爾會變成透明,你可以清楚看到地獄。尼爾深愛她的妻子,有一天,妻子在一場天使掀起的災難中喪生,上了天堂。如果想和心愛的妻子相會,尼爾也必須上天堂,而上天堂唯一的途徑,就是真心敬愛上帝。然而,尼爾一輩子沒愛過上帝,他要怎麼做才能夠學會真心愛上帝……

  姜峯楠1967年出生在紐約,畢業於布朗大學計算機學系。1990年發表第一篇小說《巴比倫之塔》即勇奪「星雲獎」,2000年再以《妳一生的預言》拿到第二座「星雲獎」。到2003年,《上帝不存在的地方叫地獄》更一舉拿下「雨果獎」「星雲獎」「軌跡獎」三大獎。

  在寫作上,他近乎苛求的追求完美,每篇故事都有一個石破天驚的創意,千錘百鍊精雕細琢,所以,寫作迄今30年,他只寫下17篇中短篇,但每篇作品都在當年的科幻界造成巨大震撼,橫掃各大獎。

  他是史上第一個榮獲「雨果獎」的華人,到目前為止已經9度提名,4次獲獎。此外,他還拿下4座「星雲獎」、4座「軌跡獎」,還有15座全球各大科幻獎。

  2012年,全球最權威的Locus Online讀者世紀票選,他一個人囊括20世紀中篇小說第1名,21世紀中篇小說第1名、第2名,短篇小說第1名。更驚人的是,他總共有10篇作品名列榜上,甚至超越了所有的前輩大師,包括艾西莫夫和克拉克。這是科幻史上的空前紀錄,他成為科幻史上的傳奇人物,在全球讀者心目中享有神人般至高無上的地位。

  現在,全球的科幻迷仍在引頸企盼他的下一篇作品,期待他再一次突破顛峰的震撼。

GQ KIDS...For the love of being FLY!
Size: 8, Color: Sky Blue
I am highly suggesting this suit for purchase because the color alone is a standout and will have people asking where did you get the suit from? The length of the bowtie is adjustable, the color is bright and lively, the fabric is pure quality. You can run a hot iron over it or a steamer to get the fold lines out of it from how it was packaged, but it seems that even if you just hung it up in the bathroom while running a hot shower, the wrinkling would drop. I think the purchase price is good for all that you get which is a quality blazer, great slacks and a bowtie. It's a one stop shop for a graduation event, dinner, a formal party or even a photoshoot. My nephew wears a size 7 or 6-8, so I ordered a size 8 to be safe and it fits nicely.

Cute sky blue linen suit for toddler!
Size: 3, Color: Sky Blue, Size: 3, Color: Sky Blue
I got this Trasign Kids Linen Suit in sky blue for my 2 year old, thinking my wife said “blue” (turns out she meant navy or something darker 😅). I actually really like the light, airy sky blue. It’s fresh, summery, and looks adorable on him for photos or special occasions. My wife? Not so much. She immediately said “baby blue ugly” 😅😅 On the plus side: • Soft fabric – linen blend feels gentle and breathable on little skin, no itchiness or stiffness. • Nicely packaged – arrived with very little wrinkling (barely needed steaming), which is a win for linen. • Good fit for a toddler – true to size, easy to button, and the shorts/pants have adjustable waist for growing kids. • Looks sharp once on – the set gives that classic little gentleman vibe without feeling over the top. It’s a quality piece overall, just a classic case of “what one spouse loves, the other doesn’t” on the color. If sky blue works for your family (or you’re shopping solo like me 🤣), it’s a solid buy.

Summer wedding kids suit
Color: Navy, Size: 10 Years, Color: Navy, Size: 10 Years
Bought this suit for my son in the 10 youth size and honestly was pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price. The navy color looks sharp and dressy without being too stiff or uncomfortable. The material has a little stretch, which helped it fit nicely and made it comfortable for him to move around in. The adjustable waist was a huge plus, especially for growing kids. It fit true to size overall, though the blazer sleeves were slightly long on my son. The pants had a nice slim look without being too tight. We paired it with white sneakers for a more modern look and it came out adorable. This would be perfect for weddings, graduations, concerts, communion, school events, or family photos. Overall, very happy with the purchase and would definitely buy again.

Very Modern Handsome Suit
Color: Grey, Size: 7 Years, Color: Grey, Size: 7 Years
This is an incredibly sharp looking suit for the little guy. Great price and features, too. I made a mistake in sizing up instead of down and first one was too sloppy on him and would need alterations. He is thin and very thin in the waist. There is a lot of adjustment with buttons in waistband and coat hides the bunching. This shirt and coat will easily take a fuller body than slim I believe. He loves posing in it and feels very classy. Best purchase for a formal suit that will last longer than most kids clothes size wise. Felt bad about returning but careful folding and packing got it good as new.
