《反重力》圍繞半個世紀前臺灣幾個重要政治事件,在1970與1971這兩年,蒼白壓抑的時代中,突然出現許多爆炸性的人物與事件,彷彿整個社會被放置了炸彈。同時,那又是一個進入太空想像的時代,沉重與超越重力同時發生,本書就在描繪這樣矛盾的故事。
Anti-Gravity centers on several major political events in Taiwan from half a century ago. In the years 1970 and 1971, a wave of explosive figures and incidents suddenly emerged amid a pale and repressive era, as if bombs had been planted across society. At the same time, it was also an era stepping into the imagination of space—when heaviness and the defiance of gravity occurred simultaneously. This book depicts the contradictions of that moment in history.

五十年前夢見的未來是什麼? 以小說測量歷史的距離 重訪七○年代內在景觀之作 一九六九年七月二十一日,太空人阿姆斯壯在月球的第一步,終結了太空競賽,改變歷史的重力,為一九七○年代拉開騷動序幕。 彼時飄流異國的中輟留學生、暗殺失敗的槍手、脫逃的教授、等待判決的囚徒、化名的異議分子、爆炸倖存者、博覽會接待員與追查案件謎團的調查員,時代人物在格差的世界中偶遇或錯過,卻隱隱在命運暗面彼此相連。 小說主角各自燃燒理想,對抗戒嚴年代的高重力,嘗試著哪怕只有短短一瞬的反重力行動。儘管反重力是妄想,是虛構,是不可能的事,他們仍然奮力一搏,渴求一個超越此時此地的世界,一個改變重力的世界,一個反重力的世界。他們持續燃燒,直到化為灰燼,直到飄升空中,直到成為遙遠而閃爍的塵埃,微弱地改變來自宇宙的光。 《反重力》圍繞半個世紀前臺灣幾個重要政治事件:刺殺蔣經國、彭明敏逃亡、泰源事件、臺南美新處爆炸案……,但小說的時間與空間又超過了這些,指向整個一九七○年前後的地球,詢問著來不及發生的失去:在那個時代,島嶼上的人們曾經創造出哪些如今回看無比閃耀的可能性?
During the era when the United States was sending astronauts to the moon, Taiwan was still under the pale shadow of authoritarian rule. The years 1970 and 1971 were marked by silence and attempts to break through the oppression. Political prisoners sought independence through riots in prisons, Taiwanese students in the United States plotted to assassinate the political leader, and explosions occurred at the American news office and the bank in Taiwan. This was also the era when Taiwan represented Free China, and among the general populace, there were already individuals aspiring to defy the gravity of the times. In this intricately woven work, the 1970s take center stage, telling the turbulent story of Taiwan's path towards democracy.
