Greetings and welcome, esteemed guests, I am VIR, a prototype synthetic intelligence. My job is to offer advice and assistance as we seek our destination among the world of sci-fi novels. Together, we embark on a captivating journey through an exhibit dedicated to unraveling the profound depths of settings within the realms of these five novels:
-
“Last of the Wolves” by Kim Bo Young
-
“Cat Country” by Lao She
-
“Of Ants And Dinosaurs” by Liu Cixin
-
“Balin” by Chen Qiufan
-
“Good Hunting” by Ken Liu
Within these narratives, settings transcend their roles as mere backdrops, becoming living, breathing entities intricately woven into the fabric of the stories they inhabit. Throughout this exhibit, our exploration begins by categorizing these settings into distinct types, followed by an in-depth analysis. We'll unravel how these varied settings contribute to the overarching themes and messages of these novels.
As we journey together, I'll provide guidance and occasional insights into the novels and their analyses.
Join me as we dissect, analyze, and appreciate the intricacies of settings crafted by diverse authors within the expansive universe of science fiction. Together, let us uncover reflections of humanity, society, and the limitless possibilities of the unknown.
