Science and technology are not only used by humans to transform the objective world,but also to transform humanity itself.Especially since the third scientific and technological revolution,the rapid development of information technology represented by biotechnology,electronic technology,space science and technology has not only made it possible to fundamentally change the course of human natural evolution,but also to make humans,animals and machines.The boundary between organic and inorganic matter is no longer stable.A combination of "natural + technology" is ready to come.In the past 30 years of Chinese science fiction,this kind of complex has been characterized by a series of new and "posthuman" figures.This article takes Chinese science fiction novels as the topic of choice,and from the perspective of information technology,it systematically sorts out the image of "posthuman" in the works of the past 30 years.Firstly,the thesis discusses the way of shaping the "posthuman" image from the phenomenological level.According to the different information technology methods and their external characteristics,the "posthuman" image is divided into artificial intelligence production robots,genetic engineering manufacturing.Genetically modified people and a variety of information technology-built cybers.On this basis,it sorts out the development of relevant information technology in the real world,analyzes how writers combine information technology and imagination to complete the image of "posthuman",and then analyzes and interprets the type and shaping of the writer's works.Secondly,it further combs and analyzes the subjective picture of the "posthuman" image.According to the "posthuman" image,the "posthuman" subjective consciousness is divided into the "posthuman" subjective construction,the "posthuman" subjective identity and the human subjectivity.Generally speaking,the posthumanity consciousness of the "posthuman" image is not strong,and the appeal of its own subjectivity is very weak.The dislocation of the "posthuman" image technology and cultural level is more obvious.Finally,the symbolic fables behind the image of "posthuman" are studied.The focus of the "posthuman" image is not a surprisingly postmodern landscape,but a representation of complex social contradictions,reflecting the problems and crises of modern society in the context of rapid technological development.The fables are divided into three aspects,one is the natural ecological crisis;the second is the personal spiritual world crisis;the third is the social interpersonal crisis.In view of the growing prosperity of contemporary Chinese science fiction and the shortcomings of current research,this paper hopes to make up for the lack of domestic research on the image of "posthuman" science fiction in China,and hopes to use it as a map to interpret the image of "posthuman".The realistic "question text" reflects on the contradictions and conflicts of contemporary society.
