Among the most popular books being written today are those that are usually
classified(分类) as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year
and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful
films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
2. It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in
literature, but its ancestors (先驱)can be found in books written hundreds of
years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some forms
of ideal society, a theme that is still often found in modern stories.
3. Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written
within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G.
Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many
languages. 4. Modern science fiction writers don’t write about
men from Mars(火星) or space adventure stories. They are more interested in
predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind ;
or in imagining future worlds that are a reflection of the world that we live in
now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones
(涵义). 5. In an age where science fact frequently overtakes
(超过)science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of
scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we
are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the
problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new
technology. A. Fairly New Development B.
