书籍简介

萨菲纳号是一艘城市飞船，它从地球废墟出发，驶向一个全新的宜居世界，至今已航行了两百年。船员们世世代代地维护着这艘飞船，同时保护着他们的“祖先”——地球注定毁灭的网络帝国的遗民——将他们置于低温休眠状态。

然而，两百年间，世事变迁，人们开始质疑。为什么船员们要继续为他们早已遗忘的人辛勤劳作？究竟是什么赋予了行政部门凌驾于所有人之上的权力？

当停电开始时，一系列事件接踵而至，彻底改变了萨菲纳号上的生活。清算即将到来。只有当掌权者维持下属的服从时，这个体系才能安然无恙。

而船员们已经忍无可忍。

《记忆共和国》是一部气势恢宏的科幻史诗，它深刻地探讨了人与人之间的分歧，以及将我们凝聚在一起的纽带。这是一部现代而雄心勃勃的阿拉伯未来主义作品，非常适合《太空无垠》、《帝国记忆》或《时间之子》的粉丝。

The Safina is a city ship, two hundred years into its voyage from the ruins of Earth towards a new habitable world. Its crew maintain the ship, generation after generation, while protecting their ‘ancestors’ - the final remnants of Earth’s doomed Network Empire - by keeping them alive in cryostasis.

But a lot can change in two hundred years, and people are starting to ask questions. Why should the crew continue to toil for people none of them remember? What exactly gives Administration its authority over everyone else?

And when the blackouts start, they set in motion a chain of events that will change life on the Safina forever. A reckoning is coming. The system is only secure so long as those in power maintain the obedience of those beneath them.

And the crew has had enough.

A science fiction odyssey of breathtaking scope, The Republic of Memory is a gripping examination of what divides us, and what brings us together. This is a modern and ambitious work of Arabfuturism, and is perfect for fans of The Expanse, A Memory Called Empire or Children of Time.

作者简介

马哈茂德·埃尔·赛义德是一位英籍埃及裔科幻奇幻作家兼翻译家。他现居伦敦东区，闲暇时喜欢琢磨语言学的奇闻轶事，并和他的猫一起探讨故事构思。他曾是一名记者，报道过“严肃”的中东政治，直到厌倦了为了获取枯燥的引语而四处奔波，才转而创作关于世代飞船、智能图书馆和记忆税等题材的作品。他荣获了2023年“未来世界”奖（Future Worlds Prize），该奖项旨在表彰有色人种奇幻和科幻作家。他的作品聚焦于阿拉伯主题，并将其称为“阿拉伯未来主义”（Arabfuturism）。

Mahmud El Sayed is a British-Egyptian SFF writer and translator. He lives in East London where he spends his time pondering linguistic oddities and running story ideas by his cat. A former journalist, he covered ‘serious’ Middle Eastern politics until he had enough of chasing people up for boring quotes and decided to write about generation ships, sentient libraries and memory taxes instead. He won the prestigious 2023 Future Worlds prize for Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers of Colour and his work focuses on Arabic and Islamic-inspired themes in a genre he is calling Arabfuturism.
