Question

Consider the Campbell excerpt you read and the Richard(his real name starts with a D but brainly wont let me use it) excerpt featured in the video. Both science fiction examples discuss the use of futuristic technology. But how does the relationship between man and machine differ in these two excerpts? Cite examples from the excerpts to support your response.

Answer 1

Okay, here’s what I found

Both excerpts are examples of science fiction, and they both describe machines that attack humans. However, the Campbell excerpt is an example of hard sci-fi because the style and narration places emphasis on the functionality and complexity of a certain technology—in this case, a rocket ship. The “Richard” excerpt is an example of social sci-fi since the purpose of the futuristic technology is not simply in its function, but more in its effect on humanity. In the Campbell excerpt, the push of a button brings a machine to life. The function and the structure of the machine is given emphasis. In the “Richard” excerpt, the effect the machines have on people is given emphasis. One of the survivors even speaks about the machine as if it were a person.
