Smoothing the World and Its Enemies (yilin Fantasy Series)

Personally, I think it's a good introduction to science fiction, and Yilin's translation is also a very good version. Although the most valuable chapter is the first chapter, which is the title of the book, "Smooth World and Its Enemies", the rest are also somewhat interesting. Generally speaking, it is consistent with the concept of "science fiction is idea literature" An idea was put forward in the article "Smooth World" (that is, the first article), that is "When a person can travel through parallel worlds at will and choose the world that he is satisfied with, what about the worlds that he was not satisfied with before, or was almost satisfied with? Have they disappeared? "That is, if the satisfactory world is world No. 1, What about the satisfactory world No. 0, Or even the unsatisfactory world No. 1? "-Abandoned?" The core idea is this, and the extended ideas are "What if one person can travel through time and extend it to the entire society? That is, what if everyone (everyone in the entire concept of society) can choose a world they are satisfied with?" And "When everyone can time travel, what happens to those who can't?" There are also some trivial secondary ideas attached "When a being can cross parallel worlds at will, will there be an extremely unsatisfactory world?" And content such as "Is such a world an old world that has existed for a long time, or is it a new world created temporarily due to the need for time travel?", "Isn't it the gods who can travel without restrictions or even create the world?" And so on. Although it is not a surprisingly clever novel or a profoundly enlightening masterpiece, it is still a good science fiction work. The length is not long, and the things written are not very avant-garde or sharp. It can be regarded as an introductory reading, allowing some readers who have no or little contact with science fiction to feel the charm of science fiction (
