《量子联盟》由David L DiLaura创作（Kindle + Kindle Unlimited + 平装版），是一部硬科幻小说，描绘了近未来的场景，于一月出版。<p>深空网络探测到旅行者1号正在减速、停止并返回。有某种东西找到了旅行者1号，并将其带回地球。在返回的旅程中，旅行者号的下行链路包含了一张从金唱片中借用的图像。这是一则警告。<p>随后出现第二条信息：旅行者号携带了一个旨在传递给地球的物品。这是一种基于量子测量的与恒星进行交流的方式。唯一能够使用它的实体是ORIN，地球的量子人工智能，它因此成为人类的使者。<p>这本书高度重视工程现实主义：包括深空网络的通信节奏和光行时延迟、任务操作限制、仪器局限性等，并将“首次接触”视为一项工程和本体论事件，而非冒险。它还探讨了生物与非生物意识，以及人类对这一事件的全球反应。

The Quantum Alliance by David L DiLaura (Kindle + Kindle Unlimited + paperback), a hard science fiction novel of the near future, appeared in January.<p>The Deep Space Network detects Voyager 1 slowing, stopping, and returning. Something found Voyager 1 and is bringing it back to Earth. During its return journey, Voyager’s downlink contains an image cribbed from the golden record. It is a warning.<p>Then a second message appears: Voyager is carrying an artifact meant for Earth. Something that enables a form of communication with the stars, grounded in quantum measurement. The only entity that can use it is ORIN, Earth’s quantum AI, and it becomes humanity’s ambassador.<p>The book leans hard into engineering realism: DSN cadence and light-time delays, mission operations constraints, instrument limitations) and treats “first contact” as an engineering and ontological event rather than an adventure. It also explores biological and nonbiological consciousness, and the global response to a planet-wide threat.<p>This isn’t space opera. It is hard science fiction written for readers who liked The Andromeda Strain or Rendezvous with Rama, expect and welcome some technical density, and are willing to ruminate about the nature of our own minds.
