《永久冻土》 / Permafrost

《永久冻土》 / Permafrost is the [[RogerZelazny|Zelazny]] story discussed in sp.03 串台|趁生命气息逗留:泽拉兹尼与他的梦境 as a seasonal-planet, revenge, and nonhuman-voice story. The planet’s seasons last roughly half a century, and winter is watched over by a super-AI that was once human, along with mostly sleeping human administrators.

The source’s plot summary centers on Paul returning with a new girlfriend to find precious minerals he lost during an earlier escape, while Glenda, abandoned and frozen in a prior event, has merged with local mycelium and become something like a planetary will. [[Beimin|北明]] emphasizes that the prose shifts with the narrator: ordinary human narration gives way to broken, nonhuman phrases as Glenda connects with land and fungi.
