刘慈欣2018克拉克奖获奖感言（第2页）

class=kaiti这样的现实也反映在科幻小说中，Clarke对太空的瑰丽想象已经渐渐远去，人们的目光从星空收回，现在的科幻小说，更多地想象人类在网络乌托邦或反乌托邦中的生活，更多地关注现实中所遇到的各种问题，科幻的想象力由Clarke的广阔和深远，变成Cyberunk的狭窄和内向。

class=kaiti作为科幻作家，我一直在努力延续着Clarke的想象，我相信，无垠的太空仍然是人类想象力最好的去向和归宿，我一直在描写宇宙的宏大神奇，描写星际探险，描写遥远世界中的生命和文明，尽管在现在的科幻作家中，这样会显得有些幼稚，甚至显得跟不上时代。

正如Clarke的墓志铭：“他从未长大，但从未停止成长”

。

class=kaiti与人们常有的误解不同，科幻小说并不是在预测未来，它只是把未来的各种可能性排列出来，就像一堆想象力的鹅卵石，摆在那里供人们欣赏和把玩。

这无数个可能的未来哪一个会成为现实，科幻小说并不能告诉我们，这不是它的任务，也超出了它的能力。

class=kaiti但有一点可以确定：从长远的时间尺度来看，在这无数可能的未来中，不管地球达到了怎样的繁荣，那些没有太空航行的未来都是暗淡的。

class=kaiti我期待有那么一天，像那些曾经描写过信息时代的科幻小说一样，描写太空航行的科幻小说也变的平淡无奇了，那时的火星和小行星带都是乏味的地方，有无数的人在那里谋生；木星和它众多的卫星已成为旅游胜地，阻止人们去那里的唯一障碍就是昂贵的价格。

class=kaiti但即使在这个时候，宇宙仍是一个大的无法想象的存在，距我们最近的恒星仍然遥不可及。

浩瀚的星空永远能够承载我们无穷的想象力。

class=kaiti谢谢大家。
