反乌托邦科幻小说一直以来都是错误的吗?
当我思考美国当前的状况时,不禁想要探讨发生了什么,并将其与许多未来主义科幻反乌托邦小说中所传达的信息进行比较。
通常,这些故事中蕴含的情节(至少在我熟悉的故事中)似乎是精英们离开地球,或以某种方式将自己与社会其他部分隔离,并恶意地抛弃了地球上其余的人类。在某种程度上,这些精英的意图往往被描绘成邪恶,因为他们对人类文明的其他部分做出了这样的选择。
当我想到这些故事时,不禁想知道我们是否实际上正在看到相反的情况展开。也就是说,“社会的其他部分”正在推动精英们想要逃离他们因对“世界如何运作”的根本误解(或缺乏好奇心)而创造的疯狂局面。
希望我能有机会成为第一个建设太空殖民地的早期投资者,即使这只是围绕地球或类似月球的地方轨道运行。:) 如果机会出现,我想我不会犹豫。不知道还有没有其他人想分享他们的想法?

When I contemplate the current state of the US, I can't help but ponder what's happening, and compare it to the message that tends to be embedded in a lot of futuristic sci-fi dystopian fiction.<p>Typically the embedded story (at least in the stories I'm familiar with) seems to be that elites leave earth or somehow isolate themselves from the rest of society and maliciously leave the rest of the planet behind. In some way the intention of those elites tends to be painted as evil for the fact that they did this to the rest of human civilization.<p>When I think about those stories I can't help but wonder if we're actually seeing the opposite of that unravel. Where it's the "rest of society" are pushing elites to want to escape the insanity they're creating with their categorical misunderstanding of (or lack of curiosity about) "how the world works".<p>Hopefully I'll be given the opportunity to be an early investor in the first venture to build a space colony, even if it's only to orbit the planet, or someplace like the moon. :) I don't think I'll hesitate if the opportunity arises. Curious if anyone else wants to contribute their thoughts on this?
