Zonke iintaka esibhakabhakeni NguCharlie Jane Anders yinoveli ephazamisayo. Ngabalinganiswa abaphambili abavela kwihlabathi elichasayo, umlingo kunye nesayensi, le ncwadi ayichasi kuphela ukwahlukana kohlobo lwayo (sci-fi / fantasy), kodwa ukukhohlisa kobabini kwindawo yokuqala. Ngokucel 'umngeni kwisimboli yee-dichotomies ezahlukeneyo, u-Anders ucebisa impendulo ehlaziyayo ethembekileyo kwi-apocalypse: ukuba uvelwano nothando kunokusisindisa ekuphelelweni.
ISILUMKISO: Abaphangi ngaphambili.
Ekuqaleni, Zonke iintaka ifundeka njengenoveli eqhelekileyo ye-YA, igqityiwe ngokwenzakala ekuhlaleni kunye nokukhutshwa. Ungandivi kakubi. Ndizonwabele i-emo-tinged misadventures zikaPatricia Delfine kunye noLaurence Armstead. Bandenze ndaphinda ndanomdla wokuziva ungafikanga ngexesha lokufikisa ngendlela abanye abalinganiswa baka-Y abangenayo. Okwangoku, nokuba iindima zethu zabalinganiswa abaphambili zibonakala ziqhelekile. U Patricia uligqwirha elinamandla onesazela. U-Laurence yi-techie enobunkunkqele kodwa engakhuselekanga.
Imithombo yeendaba ngokwesiko ibonise ubugqwirha njengowasetyhini kunye netekhnoloji njengendoda. Nangona kunjalo, u-Anders ulwa nokukhohliswa kwezinto ezihambelana nesini ngobuqhetseba kunye nemfesane. U-Laurence uyibonisa kakuhle le nto xa ezityand 'igila kuPatricia: Uyazi… nokuba wenza ntoni, abantu bazakulindela ukuba ungoyena mntu ungeyiyo. Kodwa ukuba ukrelekrele kwaye unethamsanqa kwaye usebenze ngempundu yakho, emva koko ufumana ukungqongwa ngabantu abakulindele ukuba ube ngulomntu unqwenela ukuba ubekhona. Endaweni yokurhoxa kumgibe wokulindelweyo, ekugqibeleni uLaurence noPatricia bakhetha ukukhululeka ngokwamkelana njengokuba benjalo.
Abalinganiswa bakaAnders bakhululiwe kwezinye ii-dichotomies, ngakumbi ezo zeNdalo kunye neTekhnoloji. Nangona ihlala iboniswa njengeentshaba kwezinye iincwadi ze-sci-fi, le mikhosi iyamanyana Zonke iintaka . Okokuqala, u-Anders usibonisa ukuba yingozi kangakanani xa bohlulwe. UErnesto — igqwirha elithe, kangangeenkulungwane, lathwala isiqalekiso esinokufaniswa kuphela nebhombu yeMangaliso-Gro — lithi asinakukwazi ‘ukwaphula’ indalo ukuba sichithe iminyaka ezizigidi sizama. Iplanethi le ilichaphaza, thina ke sizinkwankhwana. Kodwa indawo yethu yokuhlala encinci ibuthathaka, kwaye asinakuphila ngaphandle kwayo. Nangona indalo yomelele, thina, njengendidi, sinenceba yayo.
Indalo ayinandaba nokupheliswa komntu ide ihlangane nomlingane wayo, oza ngendlela ye-A.I. Igama elithi Peregrine. Kwakhona, sibona indlela amandla awodwa asilela ngayo ekusindiseni uluntu. Njengokuba uluntu luwa phantsi kweentlekele zotshintsho lwemozulu, uPeregrine uxelela uLaurence, umlingani wakhe (uPatricia ngomnye), ndicinga ukuba udanile kukuba anditshintshanga iplanethi iphela, okanye ndaba luhlobo oluthile lobuthixo, obonakala ngathi njengokungaqondi kakuhle imeko yolwazi, eyokuzenzela okanye enye indlela. Ngokuthatha i-jab kwi-Deus Ex Machina trope, u-Anders utyhila esinye isisombululo, esilukiweyo ngaphandle kwencwadi.
Ukusukela ekuqaleni, sibona ukutyhala kunye nokutsala okuDlulileyo kunye neKamva. Njengabantwana, uLaurence wenza umatshini wexesha onokutsiba uye phambili ngelixa uPatricia ethetha nomoya wamandulo. Kwi-apocalypse ezayo, uPatricia kunye namagqwirha banokunceda abantu ukuba bangene kwi-arcadian, ubukho obungenangqondo. U-Laurence kunye noososayensi abangoogxa bakhe banokuncama umhlaba wonke ukuze bakhe i-portal kwenye. Zombini izisombululo zibandakanya ukubulala uninzi lwabemi. Bayabaleka — kwicala elahlukileyo — kwingxaki endaweni yokujongana ngqo nayo.
Ekugqibeleni, uPatricia noLaurence bakhetha ukujongana nomcimbi ngokuhlala bekhona, efuna ukubonwa nokuthatha inxaxheba. Iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga zempembelelo yokuqwalaselwa okunje ngovelwano. Eli xabiso libonakaliswe ngoSerafina, umenzi wencwadi yeerobhothi, othi, Asifuni unxibelelwano olungcono lweemvakalelo oluvela koomatshini. Sifuna abantu ukuba babe novelwano ngakumbi. Isizathu sokuba i-Uncanny Valley ibekho kungenxa yokuba abantu bayidalele ukubeka abanye abantu kuyo. Yindlela esithethelela ngayo ukubulalana. Ngamanye amagama, ukucekiswa kobuntu luhlobo lokwala esikusebenzisayo ukukhusela amazwe aqhushumbe ngebhombu, iidolophu ezinqabileyo, njl.
Ukuphelisa intshabalalo, sifuna uvelwano. Isinceda ukukwazi kwethu uthando kwaye ucinge ngaphakathi Isininzi , ethi yona isidibanise isincede sibone uxanduva esinalo omnye komnye. Ibhondi engenakuqhekeka ye-Anders 'ye-protagonists idala into enokuthi ihambelane nendalo kwaye iyikhulule ekuzihlukaniseni. I-Peregrine inceda indalo ukuba iqonde abantu ngokwaneleyo ukuba ibasindise. Ngelixa esi sisombululo siyinto entle, uvelwano uLaurence noPatricia abanalo omnye komnye lunokufikeleleka. Nangona kunjalo, u-Anders ulinganisa le ngcamango ngokuthobeka xa ebhala, Uthando lwalunomdla wokungaphumeleli okungahleliwe kuwo onke amashishini abantu. Ukwamkela ukuba yonke into inokuphela nangona kunjalo sisenzo esinobungozi kuhlobo olulawulwa ngamagorha ophumeleleyo. Yinto eyenzayo Zonke iintaka ngakumbi visceral, efanelekileyo, kwaye enamandla.
Zonke iintaka esibhakabhakeni Ukuzonwabisa ngaphandle kokubaleka. Kunqabile ukuba inoveli ye-sci-fi / yefantasy icetyiswe izimvo kunye nezisombululo ezinokuthi zisetyenziswe kwilizwe lokwenyani ngaphandle koncedo lweentsika zemiqadi okanye iidragons. Endaweni yoNyuliweyo oxhasa amandla omnye kwaye akhokele indlela eya e-utopia, sinabalinganiswa ababini abachasayo ubumbano kunye nolindelo-konke ukwenza into enokufikeleleka: uluntu olwamkelayo nolunokuqonda olunokuzisindisa ngokwalo.
