A human being is a soft, weak creature. It needs constant supplies of air, water, and food; it has to spend a third of its life asleep, and it can't work if the temperature is too hot or too cold.

Isaac Asimov was one of the greatest science-fiction writers, and these short stories give us an unforgettable and terrifying vision of the future.


人類非常脆弱，除了需要仰賴空氣、水、食物得以維生，一生中有1/3的時間要睡覺，不能在太冷或太熱的環境下工作。

傑出的科幻小說作家Isaac Asimov，以這短篇故事，讓我們看見可怕的未來，讓人印象深刻。
