商品描述

This book explores what science fiction can tell us about the human condition in a technological world, with the ethical dilemmas and consequences that this entails. This book is the result of the joint efforts of scholars and scientists from various disciplines. This interdisciplinary approach sets an example for those who, like us, have been busy assessing the ways in which fictional attempts to fathom the possibilities of science and technology speak to central concerns about what it means to be human in a contemporary world of technology and which ethical dilemmas it brings along. One of the aims of this book is to demonstrate what can be achieved in approaching science fiction as a kind of imaginary laboratory for experimentation, where visions of human (or even post-human) life under various scientific, technological or natural conditions that differ from our own situation can be thought through and commented upon. Although a scholarly work, this book is also designed to be accessible to a general audience that has an interest in science fiction, as well as to a broader academic audience interested in ethical questions.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書探討科幻小說能告訴我們在科技世界中人類狀況的哪些方面，以及這所帶來的倫理困境和後果。這本書是來自各個學科的學者和科學家共同努力的結果。這種跨學科的方法為那些像我們一樣，忙於評估虛構作品如何試圖理解科學和技術的可能性，並與當代科技世界中人類意義的核心關切對話的人樹立了榜樣。本書的其中一個目標是展示如何將科幻小說視為一種想像實驗室的方式，進行實驗，在這裡可以思考和評論在不同於我們自身情況的各種科學、技術或自然條件下的人類（甚至後人類）生活的願景。儘管這是一部學術作品，但本書也旨在讓對科幻小說感興趣的一般讀者以及對倫理問題感興趣的更廣泛學術讀者能夠輕鬆理解。
