《三體》可被閱讀成是一部關於人類星際傳播之離奇慾望的小說。一方面,人類對宇宙所投注的強烈傳播慾望,讓他們甚至可以在朝向自己飛來的異星「武器」中,讀出「傳播」與「媒介」意味,而由此,使自己一次次地在自 己的傳播慾望中走向毀滅。然而,在另一方面,這種固執的傳播慾望卻也構成了小說結尾的微弱救贖之光。整體來說,通過對星際傳播的虛構敘事,《三體》 展示出了「傳播」與「媒介」能夠觸動人類生命内核的離奇力量。
The Three-Body Problem trilogy can be read as a literary work related to the uncanny desire of interstellar communication. On the one hand, human beings’ intense investments of communicative desires towards the universe had even made them continuously discern the implications of “communication” and “media” in those alien “weapons” that head towards them. In other words, human race had walked over and over again into their own destructions by way of these desires and misrecognitions. However, on the other hand, these stubborn communicative desires also constitute the glimmers of redemption in the finale of the story. As a whole, this article argues that it is through the fictional descriptions of interstellar communication that the The Three-Body Problem trilogy had demonstrated the uncanny power of “communication” and “media” in shaping the core of life in human subjectivity.
