维多利亚时代对深层地质年代的探索发现推翻了人们之前固有的观念。突然之间,人类历史成为一种追思——一个链接过去与未来之间的纽带。H·G·韦尔斯(H.G.Wells)和他的继承人,从奥拉夫·斯特普尔顿(Olaf Staple-don)、约翰·D·伯纳尔(J.D.Bernal)到弗里曼·戴森(Freeman Dyson),都试图描绘我们千年之后的未来。现今,大多数未来主义者则专注于下一个百年,而一些热情的未来主义者仍然在审视更远的将来。澳大利亚的作家、评论家达米安·布罗德里克(Damien Broderick)将这些思想都归纳在科幻小说《百万年:远端认知科学》一书中。
The Victorian exploration of the deep geological age found overthrowing the preconceived notion of man. Suddenly, human history has become a memorial - a link between the past and the future. HG Wells and his heirs, from Olaf Staple-don, J DB Bernal to Freeman Dyson Freeman Dyson), all attempt to depict the future of our millennium. Today, most futurists are focused on the next century, while some passionate futurists are still looking into the future. Australian author and critic Damien Broderick summarizes these ideas in his science fiction novel Millions of Years: Far-End Cognitive Science.
