9. Version Control by Dexter Palmer

9.德克斯特帕尔默：《控制眼界》

Rebecca, the main character of Version Control, has the funny feeling that something is fundamentally wrong with her world, where self-driving cars fill the roads, her husband is obsessed with building a time machine, and the president just doesn’t seem right. Of course, it’s a world much like ours, which is part of the brilliance of Version Control, a novel that, by holding up a science-fictional mirror

to our reality, reflects back something all the more truthful for its bizarreness.

本书的主人公名叫丽贝卡，她总觉得自己的世界有什么不对，比如马路上挤满了自动驾驶的车辆，而她的丈夫执迷于制造一部时光机，连总统也好像出了什么问题。当然，这个世界和我们的真实世界非常相似，也正是本书的高明之处——以科幻世界为镜子来展现现实世界，以其奇异之处来反映出真理。
