This book is a collection of short stories by science fiction and fantasy writer Roger Zelazny. It consists of eleven stories, mostly focusing on the relationship between humans and artificial intelligence, and also includes other science fiction and fantasy themes. The title story "Stay while the breath of life" is one of the "Top Ten Science Fiction Short Stories in History" tells the story of a robot that wants to become a human being and can only truly become a human being after having emotional experience. "Twenty-Four Views of Mount Fuji" uses ukiyo-e prints as clues to discuss the boundaries between virtuality and reality; "Rocky 7281" uses a lively and humorous style to describe how a self-aware computer tampered with the writer's documents. This book contains three "Hugo Award" winning works and one "Nebula Award" winning work, with high quality. The plot is fascinating, the text is timeless and elegant, and it is both story-telling and literary.
