商品描述
A dazzling work of science fiction to which Dune, the Foundation trilogy, and 2001: A Space Odyssey owe a major debt. Narrated telepathically by one of the Last Men, Olaf Stapledon's epic history of the future caused a literary sensation when it first appeared in 1930. Over the course of two billion years, it seems, ever more alien versions of humankind will rise and fall -- developing every sort of utopian and dystopian civilization only to descend into savagery again and again, until eventually the Earth's resources are depleted. This abridged edition takes us from the fall of the First Men to the initial efforts of the Fifth Men, the "last Terrestrials," to colonize other planets!
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一部令人驚豔的科幻作品，對於《沙丘》（Dune）、《基地三部曲》（Foundation trilogy）和《2001太空漫遊》（2001: A Space Odyssey）都有著重大影響。
這部由最後的人之一奧拉夫·斯塔普頓（Olaf Stapledon）以心靈感應的方式敘述的史詩級未來歷史，於1930年首次出版時引起了文學界的轟動。在長達二十億年的時間裡，似乎越來越多外星版本的人類將興起與衰落——發展出各種烏托邦和反烏托邦的文明，卻又一次又一次地淪落到野蠻，直到最終地球的資源耗盡。 這本縮編版帶我們從第一人類的衰落，走到第五人類的初步努力，即「最後的地球人」試圖殖民其他行星的過程！作者簡介
