"Wild Future"

Wang William with CITIC Publishing Group in July 2021

"The author combines the current urban Ukiyo -e and science fiction elements, forming a" post -science fiction "style: utopia or utopia no longer, Suberg or big data operations become daily. In the future, we are all living in the" threat of stubbornness. "It is accustomed to it.

Wang William first moved to the Department of Physics at Sun Yat -sen University, and later moved to the Department of Anthropology. Later, he read literature and was a doctor of literature.

He once described the difference between the literary disciplines and other disciplines in his heart:

"The novel insists on thinking about our daily life in a more overall way, but other discipline categories are thinking about our reality from a special, single perspective, and lack of understanding of the overall landscape."

Now we watch the drama speed, use YYDS to boast, keep brushing short videos, and the ears are full of "new one is good", "fast is good" ...

The 11 stories included in "Field Future" are from near and far. From the influence of GPS technology on life and memories, the screen of the screen to the real connection of people, to the recovery backup of the tampering of the authenticity of memory, the information of the information and the emotion and the emotion and the information of the information and the emotion and the emotion and The damage of the experience, then the human exploration of black holes in the black hole ...

Wang William, who focused on the actual theme, integrated the physics, philosophy and anthropology that he was good at himself into the novel for the first time. Pay attention to and imagine the changes and confusion at some stages of human beings in the future: the elderly couples who do not worry about eating and wear, and still insist on going to the factory to work; taxi drivers who are laid -off due to the popularity of unmanned driving technology; The outbreak households reconstructed the small county in the 1990s; the perfect stripping of human beings for emotional memory; the hidden hijacking of the aliens to the earth.

The protagonists, intentionally and unintentionally returning to the old life, maintaining the old habit, and satisfying the "backward" state. These people who live in the future seem to find a way to avoid anxiety.

In these stories, we can clearly distinguish whether we are lively.
