摘要
《响尾蛇行动》是当代美国剧作家山姆·谢泼德创作的一部科幻戏剧,该剧以20世纪60年代美国人工智能技术时代为背景,揭示了美国智能技术革命背后的双重技术越界:透过失控的"赛博格",剧作家从道德属性的角度,揭示了人工智能极端化对人类主体性的越界;通过印第安霍皮族的"霍皮预言"及灭族之灾,展现了技术文明对"陆地伊甸园"和人类原初文明的毁灭。该剧聚焦AI时代技术越界这一核心命题,既是对早期智能革命的文本呈现,也是对后人类时代主体危机的哲学思考。
A science fiction play set in the initial stage of the Artificial Intelligence revolution in America,Operation Sidewinder by Sam Shepard is written as a philosophical reflection on the relationship between technology and mankind.Through the image of an escaping cyborg in the Sidewinder Operation project,Shepard dramatizes the moral issue of technology’s transgression against human subjectivity through the development of AI.Through the disasters brought to the Hopi tribe by America’s military space project,the play foretells technical civilization’s transgression against the primary human civilization’s ritual and myth within a terrestrial Eden.Focusing on the core issue of technology and mankind in the age of AI,Operation Sidewinder is both a textual reflection on the initial stage of the AI revolution and a philosophical meditation on humanity’s crisis of subjectivity in the posthuman age.
