书籍简介

同步性原则是一项科学突破，它将通过使即时通信成为可能而彻底改变星际文明。这是Shevek一生的工作，他是来自干旱的无政府主义世界Anarres的杰出物理学家。

但Shevek的工作被嫉妒的同事扼杀了，所以他来到Anarres的姐妹行星Uras，希望在那里找到更多的自由和宽容。但他很快发现自己被当作致命的政治游戏中的一个棋子。

The Principle of Simultaneity is a scientific breakthrough which will revolutionize interstellar civilization by making possible instantaneous communication. It is the life work of Shevek, a brilliant physicist from the arid anarchist world of Anarres.

But Shevek's work is being stifled by jealous colleagues, so he travels to Anarres's sister-planet Urras, hoping to find more liberty and tolerance there. But he soon finds himself being used as a pawn in a deadly political game.
