About This Novel

A collection of reviews of the latest science fiction works by Professor Jiang Xiaoyuan, who founded China's first science history department. This book contains in-depth analysis of famous science fiction works, reviews of some science fiction films and television works, and science fiction novels. It also includes several critical reviews, including "Imagination and Science: The Prospect of the Earth Destroyed by Nuclear Radiation", "Soul and Brain: Which Is Perfect Faster?" "Clara and the Sun: Elegy for Selfless Robots" "The Runaway Player: Who Needs to Worry More About Losing Control" and "Interstellar Voyage: An Exciting Course" Wonderful articles such as "The Frustrating Arithmetic Lesson" not only provide in-depth reflections on various science fiction-themed works, but also propose that the most important value of science fiction works lies in their ideological nature and reflection on science. They also point out that one of the definitions of science fiction works and popular science works lies in "humanistic care". They also analyze the differences between Chinese science fiction and Western science fiction and how science fiction participates in and affects scientific activities.
