H. G. Wells Jahrhundertroman "Die Zeitmaschine", ein Klassiker der Science Fiction Literatur, als Fremdsprachentext im englischen Original. Völlig erschöpft und ramponiert erscheint der Zeitreisende vor seinen Gästen und erzählt von unglaublichen Erlebnissen. Mit seiner Zeitmaschine war er 800.000 Jahre in die Zukunft gereist und den Nachkommen der Menschen begegnet. Die friedvolle Idylle der 'Eloi' erwies sich ihm jedoch bald als ein Freigehege voller Tod und Gefahren. Mit seinem Roman »Die Zeitmaschine« bereitete H.G. Wells den Weg für die moderne Science Fiction Literatur und vermachte seinen Nachfolgern heute unsterblich gewordene Ideen, Themen und Motive. Als scharfsichtiger Beobachter seiner Zeit, die von scheinbar grenzenlosem Fortschritt und Erkenntnisgewinn bestimmt war, übt er Kritik an politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Verhältnissen und betrachtet die Auswirkungen gegenwärtiger Fehlentwicklungen in der Zukunft. »Die Zeitmaschine« ist eine in Unterhaltung verpackte Parabel, ein zeitloser Klassiker der Endzeit-Literatur, der auch heute noch die Leser in den Bann zieht. ---- The Time Traveler appears exhausted and battered in front of his guests. As he talks about his experiences, hardly anyone believes him: With his time machine he had travelled 800,000 years into the future and met the descendants of human beings. The 'Eloi' seems to live without need, worry, and fear. But during his stay the Time Traveler discovered that the Eloi are only one side of the coin. With his novel "The Time Machine" H. G. Wells paved the way for modern science fiction literature. He bequeathed ideas, themes, and motifs that have become immortal to his successors. As a sharp-sighted observer of his time, which was determined by the seemingly limitless progress and gain of knowledge, he criticized political, economic and social conditions, and considered the effects of undesirable developments in the future. "The Time Machine" is a parable packaged in entertainment, a classic of end-time literature that still thrills today.

Star Trek has transcended science fiction through its use of elements that have crucial roles in classical utopian tradition. New technologies change a civilization, a miniature society unfolds on a spaceship, and an android teaches humanity. Star Trek has been answering many questions about our own world for 50+ years, and since the days of Captain Kirk, the franchise has become one of the world's best-known cultural phenomena. This book documents what the Star Trek franchise has in common with classic utopias. Chapters analyze how technology changes society and how the Federation embodies utopian ideals. Also explored are the political relations among alien species that reflect past and present conflicts in our real world and how the Borg resembles an anti-utopian society.

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Since Kurt Vonnegut passed away aged 84 earlier this year (11th April 2007), his life and work received considerable media recognition. While FOX-news could not refrain from expressing rather hostile criticism in their Vonnegut obituary, admirers of Vonnegut's works reacted with angry comments to the aforementioned programme. All over the internet bloggers expressed their regrets and wrote their own obituaries commenting on Vonnegut's life as well as his books. Why does the death of an 84 year old author leaving a body of 14 novels, three collections of short stories, one compilation of fictitious interviews with dead celebrities, four works of non-fiction, five plays and one requiem lead to public reactions which differ so widely? How can the works of an author who persisted to write his last book on an old typewriter be so relevant for the technophiles of the blogosphere? These questions alone justify the continuation of an academic discourse on the works of Kurt Vonnegut which has been going on four almost forty years following the publication of Slaughterhouse-Five in 1969. Ever since that novel, critics rarely fail to mention the considerable influence of science fiction on Vonnegut's writing. Man's relationship to technology and the effects of technology on inter-human communication are central motifs in science fiction: hence, the web 2.0 generation's reaction to Vonnegut's death provides an extraordinary indication that the problems pondered upon in Vonnegut's science fiction are still relevant today. However, it has to be said that most critics' references to science fiction elements in Vonnegut's works remain limited to a surface level and evoke the impression that either the scholar is not well informed about the implications of the term 'science fiction' or fails to name his or her references. The effect of such an approach is that the works on the subject will either seem to be apologetic annexions of Vonnegut's novels by science fiction buffs and space opera fans or attempts to minimise the role of science fiction in the works of Kurt Vonnegut to mere parody. Neither impression is adequate for a thorough understanding of the role of science fiction in the works of Kurt Vonnegut. Therefore, in this paper a coordinate system discussing the implication of the term science fiction will be set up, in which Vonnegut's works can be located. In order to find a valid reference point, a fixed set of aspects will be [...]
