作者: 姜峯楠 | 譯者: 陳宗琛
美國前總統歐巴馬年度選書，強力推薦：「姜峯楠的小說寫的是生命的奧妙，深情動人。這是科幻小說中的極品。」
《人生複本》布萊克克勞奇，狂熱按讚：「別太相信很多書的廣告，神人不是每天都有的。姜峯楠才是真正的神人，他的小說才是真正的燒腦神作，在當代根本找不到對手〈換句話說，我也不是他的對手〉。有沒有見過整把的鑽石？他的小說，每一篇都像是鐵達尼號那顆海洋之心……」
一個華裔作家，三十年來只寫了不到20篇中短篇，沒半本長篇，但就靠這個，他已經達到神一般的地位，是全球科幻界公認當代最頂尖的作家。
橫掃LOCUS讀者世紀票選：
20世紀最佳中篇小說第1名
21世紀最佳中篇小說第1名
21世紀最佳短篇小說第1名
4座雨果獎、4座星雲獎、4座軌跡獎，15座全球各大獎
科幻史上最難以超越的紀錄，史上含金量最高的超重量級經典
很久很久以前，巴格達有一座拱門。從右邊穿過拱門，會到二十年後的未來，從左邊穿過拱門，會回到二十年前。跨出一步，你就能夠預知未來，也能夠回到過去改變一切，翻轉命運。世上還有比這更大的誘惑嗎？
然而，創造拱門的人卻告訴你，曾經有無數人跨過拱門，結果都只證明了一件事：無論你怎麼努力，過去和未來都是絕對不會改變的。如果你預知的未來，是你無法改變的悲慘未來，如果你回到過去，卻發現當年鑄下的大錯根本無法重來，那麼，你還會想跨過拱門嗎？
但有人依然決定回到過去，因為，當年的一念之差害死了至愛的妻子，痛徹心肺的悔恨折磨了他二十年。就算有無數事實證明過去無法改變，他還是無法放棄最後一線希望：真主是慈悲的，也許真主會願意給他一次機會，挽回失去的至愛。
只要跨過拱門，然後花兩個月穿越沙漠，他就能夠及時阻止那場意外，而距離那個日子還有好幾個月，時間綽綽有餘……
命運真的不可能改變嗎？他不相信……
遙遠的未來，你可以透過一種裝置和許多平行時空的另一個自己交談，結果卻發現，不同時空的你做了不同的選擇，人生變得很不一樣，那麼，究竟哪一個才是「真正的你」？「真正的你」究竟存在不存在？

中文姓名姜峯楠。他是美國人，卻也是典型台灣留學生的孩子。他的父親姜復本是國共內戰時期流亡來台的年輕學生，後進入台大就讀，1957年畢業後赴美留學，取得美國佛羅里達大學機械工程博士學位，隨後任教於紐約州立大學。
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。

User friendly and I highly recommend
Color: White
I recently purchased the Manvins Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo with WiFi capabilities, and it has been a game-changer for keeping my home clean. The setup was incredibly easy, and I was able to connect it to my smartphone in minutes using the app. Once connected, I can schedule cleaning sessions, monitor progress, and control the vacuum and mop remotely, which is super convenient.
The vacuum picks up dust, pet hair, and debris effortlessly, even from carpets. The mop function is a nice bonus, and it does a great job of leaving floors streak-free. I was surprised at how well it handled both tasks simultaneously, and it’s great to not have to worry about switching between modes
The WiFi feature really shines when I’m away from home. I can activate the cleaning process from anywhere, and it returns to its charging station when it’s done. It even maps out my home as it cleans, ensuring that it doesn’t miss any spots.
Overall, this robot vacuum and mop combo has made cleaning much more efficient, and I love how easy it is to keep my floors spotless with minimal effort. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a smart, reliable cleaning solution!

Excellent vacuum!!
Color: White
This is a hard working little robot. It cleans dirt and debris so easily and even gets the Arizona dust that accumulates everyday. I have a cat the sheds and 4 boys plus my husband and this vacuum works like a champ. I haven’t tried the mop feature yet because I just haven’t sat down and read the directions. I’ll update when I try that feature out. I love that it can go under my furniture and climb up rugs, even my cat scratch boards. I 100% recommend this vacuum. It has changed my house keeping routine and saves me a ton of time. I absolutely love it and you can’t beat the price!

Pleasantly surprised.
Color: White, Color: White
Based on the price I wasn't expecting much but boy was I wrong. I'm so impressed and thrilled with this purchase. I have a long haired Maine Coon and it picked up so much fur. It picked up thread, small pieces of yarn and feathers from my pillows. I watched the long front brushes pull dust and dirt out from under spaces that my regular vacuum would never get without moving things. I have carpet, hardwood, throw rugs and even a long shag throw by my bed that it maneuvered over mostly easily. I helped it over one or two transitions but it never got stuck. Just turned and kept going. The mop worked great. Only concern is that it only uses water so it's not a deep clean but the pad was dirty and once it dried I threw it into the wash. Definitely will use it in between a deeper cleans making cleaning a whole lot easier. With a cat shredding the carpet on a scratching post and all of his fur I was shocked how packed the dirt cup was and how great the house looked with all the little bits of scratching pole, oh yeah and card board scratching pad cleaned up so easily. I highly recommend. The cat thinks it's a cat toy so he kept starting it up. I had to cover it to protect it from the cat. It now lives under it's very own plastic bin. 🙂

My first experience with a Robot vacuum
Color: White
I am liking this robot vacuum. It is very easy to program and can be done from your phone. It has mapping capabilities which helps with learning the room. The remote is easy to use too. It picks up most dust particles and pet fur from rugs and bare floors. It has a wet floor mopping pad which is so helpful. Surprisingly it picks up more than you think. The dust cup holds quite a bit before you have to empty it. The little side brushes help with collecting the particles. It can go under some furniture and along the walls. You have several floor patterns that it can be programmed for. It is very quiet too. Recharging doesn’t take long either. It can even be programmed to vacuum while you are away. Instructions are downloaded through the app.
My cats are very curious about how it moves about the rooms. So much fun to watch them.
I really got a great bargain for this robot vacuum on Amazon.
(I found that if you have clutter on the floors or cords under furniture you should remove and secure them before vacuuming.) It will find a way to go from floor to area rugs once it maps out the area.
I am still learning the functions in the app👍🏾👍🏾😃
