安德烈亚斯·埃什巴赫 Andreas Eschbach 作为德语科幻领军人，安德烈亚斯·埃什巴赫12岁开始写作，4部小说斩获德意志科幻奖，9部小说斩获库特-拉思维兹奖。这是德语科幻的至高荣誉，相当于中国的“银河奖”和“华语星云奖”。盛名之下，他的作品从时间到空间都展现出气吞山河的胸襟，把现今的前沿科技拓展到人类想象力的极致。 安德烈亚斯·埃什巴赫曾是航空航天工程师、软件工程师。这样的经历促成了代表作《万物之主》，让他能以硬科幻特有的严谨，推导出费米悖论的另一种解释。在他的文字里，沧海桑田、万家灯火，都不过是另一片黑暗森林中空寂的回声。

Symmetry is a fundamental phenomenon in art, science, and nature that has been captured, described, and analyzed using mathematical concepts for a long time.
