《副本》由英国著名科幻作家理查德·摩根著。从理论上说，意识的存储和备份让人类实现了长生不老的梦想。当躯壳衰老、死亡时，存储的意识备份可以重新载入一具新躯壳，意识的主人也将因此重获新生。这个过程周而复始、连绵延续以至无穷。但这只是理论。在现实中，只有最富有的人才可能不断地将自己的意识存储、备份、更新。除此之外，还有一批身负特殊使命的人，意识存储让他们能够不计生死、自蹈死地。星际调查局探员科瓦奇就是这样的人。他的意识被跨星际传输到地球。载入一具新躯壳，调查一桩杀人案。被害者是地球的一位富翁。下载意识复活之后，这位富翁决心查出凶手，查明在他上一次意识备份到被杀害期间，到底发生了什么事。杀人、换躯、性、死亡、重生……在意识存储的新时代，古老的犯罪和侦查过程以令人难以想象的新面貌实施、展开。

这是一场全新的宇宙级别的灾难，不过它并非清晰明朗地矗立在人类面前。人类智者透过重重迷雾，依据蛛丝马迹确认了它的存在，便带领人类开始了义无反顾的抗争和逃亡。在此过程中，人类逐渐了解了灾难的本质 。 从绝望到峰回路转，再到新的绝望，灾难促使人类智慧之花绚烂开放，在短短百年间取得了令人目眩的成就。但在上帝眼中，人类最为卓绝的努力不过是盲人摸象。只有一条脉络是清晰可辨的，那就是：活着。 最后，代表人类努力成果的一艘化学动力飞船、一艘“智慧保鲜”飞船和九艘亿马赫飞船驶向茫茫宇宙，它们的结局如何？读完本书之前，没人知道答案。

Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and plans to invade Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps start forming, planning to either welcome the superior beings and help them take over a world seen as corrupt, or to fight against the invasion.

With the scope of Dune, and the rousing action of Independence Day, this near-future trilogy is the first chance for English-speaking readers to experience this multiple award-winning phenomenon from China’s most beloved science fiction author. In the second book in the series, Earth is reeling from the revelation of a coming alien invasion in just four centuries’ time. The aliens’ human collaborators may have been defeated, but the presence of the sophons, the subatomic particles that allow Trisolaris instant access to all human information, means that Earth’s defense plans are totally exposed to the enemy. Only the human mind remains a secret. This is the motivation for the Wallfacer Project, a daring plan that grants four men enormous resources to design secret strategies hidden through deceit and misdirection from Earth and Trisolaris alike. Three of the Wallfacers are influential statesmen and scientists, but the fourth is a total unknown. LuoJi, an unambitious Chinese astronomer and sociologist, is baffled by his new status. All he knows is that he’s the one Wallfacer that Trisolaris wants dead.
