Postmodernist Science Fiction:William Gibson's Cyberpunk Science Fiction

威廉·吉布森的科幻作品呈现出科幻小说后现代化的趋势,其作品折射了后工业社会的种种危机,他所描述的近未来世界消解了自然∕技术、人∕机器、真实∕虚拟等二元对立概念:自然在高度工业化社会里已然消失,人与机器的界限模糊,人的主体性丧失.吉布森的赛博朋克科幻小说作品唤起人们对后现代社会种种危机的反思.

William Gibson’s works represent the tendency of postmodernization of science fiction and reveal various crises in postmodern society. His near-future world subverts binary concepts such as nature vs. technology, human vs. machine and reality vs. virtual reality. In his works, nature is gone, the distinction between human and machine is blurred, and human’s subjectivity is lost. Gibson’s cyberpunk science fiction arouses wide attention to postmodern crises.
