Abstract

“[W]hat if they gave an apocalypse and nobody noticed?” was the question that Brooks Landon (1991, 239) proposed as the central thematic concern of the 1980s cyberpunk – a movement which today represents a landmark in the development of the science fiction genre. Diverse as they are in their focus and scope, the contributions to this issue of ELOPE, dedicated to the position and role of speculative fiction, and especially science fiction, in a world which is increasingly becoming speculative and science fictional, invariably demonstrate that an apocalypse did indeed take place and went by largely unnoticed.

没人注意到的天启

“如果他们给了一个世界末日，而没有人注意到呢?”这是布鲁克斯·兰登(1991,239)提出的问题，是20世纪80年代赛博朋克运动的核心主题——赛博朋克运动在今天代表着科幻小说类型发展的一个里程碑。尽管它们的焦点和范围各不相同，但对这期《私奔》的贡献，致力于投机小说，尤其是科幻小说，在一个越来越投机和科幻的世界里的地位和作用，无一例外地表明，世界末日确实发生了，而且在很大程度上被忽视了。
