惊奇·忧思·法自然:论王晋康科幻小说的科技观

Wonder,Worry,Natural Laws:The View of Science and Technology in Wang Jinkang’s Science Fiction

王晋康的科幻小说基于科学规律、社会规律对未来及"或然历史"进行假设、推演、论证,由此来探索人类的发展之路,并揭示宇宙、人类和现实的本质,而其关注重点是科技。在他的作品中,既有对未来科技的展望,以此营造科幻美学中特有的惊奇感,也有对科技异化人类的警觉,包括对人工智能、虚拟空间技术、生物技术发展的反思。他认为,科技发展是大势所趋,但要"道法自然"。在自然层面,科技发展要有利于保持生物多样性,有利于维持生态平衡;在人类层面,要保持整体人类的发展,并以此超越个人中心主义的价值判断标准。

Based on scientific laws and social laws,Wang Jinkang’s science fiction is richly woven of supposition,deduction and demonstration about the future and"Alternate History",which are used to explore the path of human development and reveal the essence of the universe,human beings and reality.Its focus,however,is science and technology.His works not only present a the prospect of future science and technology,createing a unique sense of wonder of science fiction aesthetics,but also alert the possible alienation in science and technology,including a scrutiny of the development of artificial intelligence,virtual space technology and biotechnology.He believes that the development of science and technology is the trend of the times,but human beings should follow the natural laws.At the natural level,the development should be conducive to maintaining of biodiversity and ecological balance;at the human level,it is necessary to maintain the overall human development and thus transcend the values of individualism.
