Opis

William Gibson s Bridge trilogy is concerned with§information technologies and the media s ambiguous§impact on current society. The last two episodes of§the Bridge series tell a story of a near-future§where human, posthuman, and transhuman beings§interact in a realm between physical space and§cyberspace and through feedback loops of network§relations. The posthuman and cyberspace ontology§generate subversive discourses that shatter§capitalist totality, phantasmagoria, and the Logos.§The global circulation of media and information§renders various ways to understand the world fast and§wide, but also distorts the realities and how we see§the world as it is. If we treat the Bridge trilogy as§fragments of stories or myths (since Science§Fiction is based on its unrealistic portraying of the§near future) that are told and emerge constantly in§the industry of literature, then the Bridge trilogy§can be seen as a part of the project of writing myth§into history. By retelling myths that are projected§in utopian space, we are writing a fiction into§history in the process of unpacking a metaphor in§science fiction. This is the messianic power of§fiction in shaping future history.
