8.6 (16 个评分) 作者: Lois Lowry Laurel Leaf 2002 - 9
The Giver译为“赐予者”或“授者”,是洛伊丝·洛利最著名的也是最受争议的作品。在The Giver里,作者描绘了一个想像出来的乌托邦世界。在这个社会里,人们的生活都被安排得好好的,人们不用决定工作,不用决定配偶,这些问题,社会都帮个人做好了决定。而这个世界也没有记忆、感情、颜色及音乐,人们只有最基本的生活需求。但有一个人例外,他一个人承担了整个世界该有的记忆,他必须独自承受痛苦、恐惧、和孤单,而他也同时知道什麼是温暖、幸福和爱。这个人被称为the receiver of memory,也就是the Giver。当12岁的男主角Jonas成为这个the receiver of memory的接班人后,他得到了他以前所不曾有过的经验,而当他知道愈多时,他愈发现这个世界的不合理,最后他选择了逃离……

Rules of Summer 豆瓣
8.6 (5 个评分) 作者: Shaun Tan Hodder Children's Books 2013 - 10
Moments of humour, surreal fantasy, and the sometimes devastating ways we interact with the people we love the most, are presented in Shaun Tan’s typical thought-provoking style.
RULES OF SUMMER, is a deceptively simple story about two boys, one older and one younger, and the kind of ‘rules’ that might govern any relationship between close friends or siblings. Rules that are often so strange or arbitrary, they seem impossible to understand from the outside. Yet through each exquisite illustration of this nearly wordless narrative, we can enjoy wandering around an emotional landscape that is oddly familiar to us all.
Shaun Tan draws upon his own personal experiences with a surreal snapshot of fishing adventures with his older brother, leaving a sock on the clothes line, and buildings inspired by Brunswick and greater Melbourne.
As you venture deep into the story, these poetic images become darker, more mysterious and unsettling, drawing towards a redemptive ending that affirms the depth of true friendship, a bond that is equally wonderful and inexplicable.

7.0 (7 个评分) 作者: Martha Wells Tor.com 2017 - 5
In a corporate-dominated spacefaring future, planetary missions must be approved and supplied by the Company. Exploratory teams are accompanied by Company-supplied security androids, for their own safety.
But in a society where contracts are awarded to the lowest bidder, safety isn't a primary concern.
On a distant planet, a team of scientists are conducting surface tests, shadowed by their Company-supplied 'droid—a self-aware SecUnit that has hacked its own governor module, and refers to itself (though never out loud) as "Murderbot." Scornful of humans, all it really wants is to be left alone long enough to figure out who it is.
But when a neighboring mission goes dark, it's up to the scientists and their Murderbot to get to the truth.

SecUnit第一人称视角和社恐电视剧狂魔的人设有新意,中间过程算是想象范围内,最后的结尾出乎意料,总体还蛮有意思的;Audible听完的,两遍
