值得一说的是,著名的科幻佳作《黑暗的左手》也是她的作品。
2001. Arthur C. Clarke. How did we get to be what we are? This series answers that
one fundamentally human question. It begins with the establishment of a connection
between our ape-ancestors, struggling to merely survive. We are hoplessly weaker and
outnumbered by the other animals of the planet. An outside force plants the seeds of
real intelligence by way of a great black "monolith." These first conceptual
thoughts launch us toward a chain of events into the future. As the future unfolds,
our curiosity leads to the discovery of another such box on the moon - proof
positive that we are not the only intelligent force in the universe! It is a
discovery that is as impossible for us to understand as our survival problem was
millennia ago. Still, humanity presses on, only to discover another box near
jupiter, which brings even more events crucial to himanity. In 3001: The Final
Odyssey, many of the questions raised in the series are - for good or ill - finally
answered.

Dark Elf. R.A. Salvatore. One of the best series of gaming-related fiction
introduces Drizzt Do'Urdern, a dark elf (or drow) born with something that no other
drow has or can afford to have: a conscience. His hometown, the underground city of
Menzoberranzan, is a rough place, and his family achieved its position of power by
adhering to the city's Golden Rule: Don't get caught. As Drizzt comes of age, more
and more of life in Menzoberranzan becomes repugnant to him, and he can't perform
the evil acts his society requires. Eventually, he embarasses his family, and, being
a male in a matriarchal society, the penalty for that sort of thing is death. He has

uses Martian abilities like levitation without seeing anything unusual about them.
Now, like a child raised in the wilderness by wolves, he must learn how to be
human...and at the same time, teach his new friends how to think like a Martian. He
discovers the joys of sex and free love (which is part of what made this book so
popular with the 60's generation), and tries to reconcile the many conflicting
teachings of Earthly religions with his Martian knowledge. The reader not only
watches Smith's growth, but also gets a tour of a futuristic Earth and all the
foibles of human society.

88.《沉默羔羊》托马斯.哈里斯
Downbelow Station. C.J. Cherryh. Humanity has been exploring space for a few hundred
years with sub-light ships, long enough to establish trade routes between orbital
stations in a handful of distant solar systems. Downbelow Station is at the crux of
the shipping routes, the gateway to Earth's defensive perimeter. Earth authorities
worry that the sub-light communication lags - of 10 years or more in some cases -
are giving their distant colonies and upstart merchant vessels too much freedom, but
when Earth finally cracks down, it's already too late: Scientists at distant Cyteen
have already built the first faster-than-light spacedrive, and Cyteen has become the
center of a new power called Union. Although Downbelow Station has always prided
itseld on its neutrality, it's now caught between Earth, Union, and merchanter
forces, fated to become the center of the conflict.
