2024年度中文长篇科幻小说创作综述
彭 超（Peng Chao）
摘要：2024年中文长篇科幻小说整体发展态势相对稳定，就数量与内容而言，可能正处于阶段性过渡状态。主要体现出五个特点：一是文化自信和本土意识觉醒，从历史科幻、大国重器等不同角度，构建本土科幻话语体系；二是想象末日危机与文明存续，关注极端环境下的人性考验，为之提供中国方案；三是人文关怀深化，小人物和边缘群体成为主角，更为关注弱势群体、社会问题和情感救赎；四是元宇宙和虚拟世界题材热度不减，从技术奇观过渡到关注技术伦理，深入剖析其对社会结构、对人性本质的冲击；五是叙事技巧方面更注重类型融合，将科幻与悬疑推理等结合，从形式上进行创新探索。这些作品共同描绘中国科幻的蓬勃图景，既拥抱科技前沿议题，又扎根本土现实与文化基因，在科技想象与人文关怀之间寻找平衡，展现出独特的创作活力。

Title: Review of Chinese Long-Form Science Fiction Novel Creation in 2024
Abstract: The overall development of Chinese long-form science fiction novels in 2024 remained relatively stable, yet in terms of quantity and content, it may be in a phase of transition. The year’s output is primarily characterized by five key features: Firstly, the awakening of cultural confidence and local consciousness, constructing a localized science fiction discourse system from various perspectives such as historical sci-fi and narratives of national megaprojects. Secondly, imagining apocalyptic crises and civilizational survival, focusing on tests of human nature under extreme circumstances and offering a Chinese approach to such themes. Thirdly, a deepening of humanistic concern, with ordinary people and marginalized groups becoming protagonists, reflecting greater attention to vulnerable groups, social issues, and emotional redemption. Fourthly, sustained popularity of metaverse and virtual world themes, shifting from technological spectacle to a focus on technological ethics and in-depth analysis of their impact on social structures and human nature. Fifthly, increased emphasis on genre blending in narrative techniques, innovatively combining science fiction with genres like suspense and mystery. Collectively, these works depict a vibrant landscape for Chinese science fiction, embracing cutting-edge technological topics while remaining rooted in local realities and cultural heritage, seeking a balance between technological imagination and humanistic concern, and demonstrating unique creative vitality.
