| 释义 |
"TAP" is a 1995 novelette by Greg Egan. It is set in a near-future society in which brain implants allow immersive virtual reality. The implants also allow a new kind of language called TAP, Total Affective Protocol. TAP is essentially a way of making qualia into words. {{cquote|A single TAP word could capture this moment — perfectly encoding my entire sensorium, and everything I'm thinking and feeling. A word I could speak, write, recall. Study at a distance — scan — or play, relive completely. Inflect and modify. Quote exactly (or not) to the closest friend or the most distant stranger.}}TAP words can be read like English, or invoked to be experienced, like virtual reality. Plot introductionTAP is a murder mystery in which religious and cultural groups think that a poet has been killed by a word in an all-encompassing thought-language. Reception"TAP" was a finalist for the 1996 Hugo Award for Best Novelette.[1] References1. ^1996 Hugo Awards, at TheHugoAwards.org; retrieved August 21, 2018 External links
