參考譯文

當今最流行的圖書就是被歸類為科幻小說的圖書。每年都有成百

上千的圖書出版,并被各類人群閱讀。而且近些年來最成功的一些電

影都是基于科幻小說的故事拍攝的。

人們通常認為科幻小說是文學中非常新的一個發展,但是你可以

在兒白年前的書中找到它祖先的蹤跡。這些書通常是關于理想社會形

式的一些呈現,在現代故事中仍然可以發現這個主題。

然而,大多數科幻小說的經典之作都是在近一百多年里創竹的。

以兩位著名的作家儒勒?凡爾納和赫伯特?喬治?威爾斯為例,他們

的書已經被翻譯成了很多種語言。

現代科幻小說作家不再寫來自火星或太空的人的歷險故事。他們

對技術發展給社會和人類思想帶來的結果更感興趣;或者他們會想象

未來世界,那往往是我們現今居住的世界的反映。正因如此,他們的

作品有明顯的政治暗中。

在一個科學事實屢次超越科幻小說的年代,作家們可能發現領先

科學進步是困難的。然而,那些足夠聰明、有遠見的人看清了我們正

在走的路,他們或許會提供珍貴的一課,告訴我們如何應對社會在努

力掌握新技術以及與不斷變化的世界觀妥協的過程中將面臨的無法

避免的問題。
