摘要
这一章的重点是20世纪50年代“黄金时代”的几件作品,在这些作品中,自行车占据了重要地位。在雷·布拉德伯里(Ray Bradbury)的一些作品中,我们首先研究了汽车和行人,然后讨论到了罗伯特·海因莱因(Robert a . Heinlein)的一部小说、保罗·安德森(paul Anderson)的一部中篇小说和艾弗拉姆·戴维森(Avram Davidson)的一部短篇小说。本章认为,这三个文本倾向于将“低技术”自行车描述为实用、可靠的机器,值得继续使用和欣赏,并将自行车描述为能够激发敬畏的强大技术。
Murderous Cars, Space Bikes, and Alien Bicycles in the Golden Age
This chapter focuses on several works from the ‘Golden Age’ of the 1950s in which bicycles prominently appear. After first examining cars and walking in some works by Ray Bradbury, the discussion turns to a novel by Robert A. Heinlein, a novelette by Poul Anderson, and a short story by Avram Davidson. This chapter argues that these three texts favor portrayals of ‘low-tech’ bicycles as pragmatic, reliable machines worthy of continued use and appreciation, and of bicycles as potent pieces of technology capable of inspiring awe.
