Cock Prince
by Diptera
About This Novel
This book is the first novella science fiction collection published by the highly anticipated science fiction author Diptera. It contains four works: "Psychic Sampling", "Art Works in the Age of Replication", "The Rooster Prince" and "Space Go". Among them, "The Rooster Prince" won the first prize in the science fiction category of the 4th Douban Reading Essay Competition. If a work of art can be copied perfectly, does it still matter if it is an "orphan"? What's the point of being an individual if you can use mental slices to share experiences, emotions, and epiphanies? When human consciousness is implanted with the "Three Laws of Robotics", when artificial intelligence can understand the true meaning of Go - how can humans and machines coexist, and is the so-called "wisdom" just an illusion of the universe? Diptera science fiction offers cognitive challenge and adventure on all levels, taking technological speculation into areas few have previously explored. The core of the story adheres to the characteristics of the golden age, and each story is based on the "whatif" brought about by the possibilities of technological development. The academic background of European philosophy provides the story with rich spiritual resources and solid logic. Diptera maintains a "deeply processed" translation tone, which is smooth, precise, concise and poetic, just like the Borges, William Gibson and Ted Chiang whom she admires, using easy-to-read stories to deduce places beyond the reach of reason.
