內容簡介
雨果獎得主、更二度獲亞瑟克拉克獎提名的Wayfarers系列,續集重磅登場!
 
Lovelace原是星艦上的人工智慧,卻在一副陌生軀殼中醒來,系統也遭人關閉後重啟。身處一具合成的身體,少了事發前的記憶,帶著無比的惶惑,Lovelace必須重新思索自己是誰。
 
但她並非獨自一人,Loveless結識了不顧一切救她的善良工程師Pepper,同是天涯淪落人的兩人,逐漸發展出一段動人友誼…
 
回溯過往,而後向未來望—
這是一場星際之旅,也是向內探索的自省旅程,重新思索自己是誰、思索自己和宇宙的關係與聯繫。
如同Lovelace與Pepper,在歷經了無數磨難和心碎之後,仍能找到保有善良與尊嚴的活法。而兩人也將發現,宇宙浩瀚敻袤,但有些美好事物,並不總遠得遙不可及。
 
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2017 HUGO AWARD AND THE ARTHUR C CLARKE AWARD. WINNER OF THE 2017 PRIX JULIA-VERLANGER.

The stand-alone sequel to the award-winning The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet.
 
Lovelace was once merely a ship''s artificial intelligence. When she wakes up in an new body, following a total system shut-down and reboot, she has to start over in a synthetic body, in a world where her kind are illegal. She''s never felt so alone.
 
But she''s not alone, not really. Pepper, one of the engineers who risked life and limb to reinstall Lovelace, is determined to help her adjust to her new world. Because Pepper knows a thing or two about starting over.
 
Together, Pepper and Lovey will discover that, huge as the galaxy may be, it''s anything but empty.
