Chapter 772: Top Magazines [Asking for Tickets and Subscribing]
As you can see from the title, this is a work about artificial intelligence.
From the rise and decline of science fiction, artificial intelligence has always been a popular element in science fiction, and countless writers have written long or short stories on this subject.
When technology continues to advance and artificial intelligence continues to evolve, what will happen to the world at that time?
Before Chris, all sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind.
In the face of similar themes that have been written by predecessors, how can Zhang Chu push through the old and write unique works?
With all kinds of curiosity, he clicked on the opening chapter of "Artificial Intelligence".
It's just that this time the beginning looks extraordinarily warm and touching, with the family who lost the child adopting a robot boy and placing their trust in the child.
Nowadays, there are many middle-aged or elderly people around the world who feel lonely, and having such a robot is also a good way to regulate loneliness.
"It's a good idea to freeze the child and wait for the medical conditions to be ready. But if the treatment is successful, wouldn't it be superfluous robots?"
Chris is very keenly aware of the hidden foreshadowing, since it is a frozen child, it is still the appearance and psychology of a child after thawing.
When the time comes, there will definitely be a conflict with the robot boy!
However, it is also possible that decades have passed, and the little boy's parents have died, and he came out alone, and was finally adopted by the robot boy, and the two brothers depend on each other.
As he expected, the warmth didn't last long.
Finally, her mother Monica accepted David, but her biological child Martin's illness had a big breakthrough.
When Martin returned from the hospital, the two little boys began to fight each other for favor!
From Martin's point of view, this is actually a very normal thing.
I just had a good night's sleep, and when I came back, I found that there was an extra robot boy at home, and no one could accept it.
It's not one more cat or dog, it's a robot with a human-like appearance.
Zhang Chu's pen power can be seen at this time, and he vividly portrays the difference between humans and robots with a few common things in life!
While Martin was eating with his parents, David could only hold an empty spoon and make it look like he was eating.
When both children ate spinach, it was David who was damaged.
And when he was lying on the operating table of the robotic repair center, although his body was constantly dripping with viscous green liquid, he didn't feel pain at all.
When they fall into the pool at the same time, the adults' first instinct is to save Martin and let David sink to the bottom of the pool!
This one thing after another is really cruel in comparison, and if it is a robot who does not understand human nature, I am afraid that I have no opinion on it.
But David also has emotions, understands bitterness, and wants to get more attention and love.
Seeing this, Chris couldn't help but rub the bridge of his nose with his hand.
This Zhang Chu's control of people's hearts is too strong!
From a human point of view, he should have been more empathetic to Martin's mood, but he felt particularly sorry for David.
In it, Zhang Chu did not completely copy Martin's character in the "Artificial Intelligence" movie.
This human child is also a victim, and he shouldn't be hated as an ugly villain!
Young and ignorant, wanting to compete for favor and love, these are written about the normal psychology of an ordinary human child, and almost every reader has such a person around him.
Since it's a short story, the story progresses very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, David was abandoned by his mother on the side of the road for various reasons, because Monica couldn't bear to take it back to the robot factory to destroy it.
As everyone knows, such unbearable feelings are actually even more cruel!
Abandoned David embarks on another adventure with a teddy bear, where surviving in the wild is much more brutal than at home.
If the first half is just a small test, then the second half is a tide.
Swarms of robots were captured in the slaughterhouse, and the humans tortured the robots as if they were admiring the ten tortures of the Manchu Dynasty.
Living robots are slaughtered in various ways, and David finally escapes from this slaughterhouse where there is not a trace of blood, and only strives to become a real human.
The emotions are progressive, and the various plot arrangements are also appropriate!
When Chris saw the ending, the whole person sighed.
I don't know what to say.
The imaginative story structure and shocking reading experience make readers begin to reflect on the imagination of human beings for life and ask about the ultimate meaning of artificial intelligence, which is most closely related to human beings.
"This should be a masterpiece in science fiction, the kind of article that can become a classic in the future!"
Chris has a very high opinion of "Artificial Intelligence".
After reading this article, he felt that he should not let himself read it alone, and let more readers see Zhang Chu's masterpieces.
It's a good idea to read it for free online, but there are many people who don't have a Facebook or Amazon free download account.
Then it is necessary to find a suitable offline promotion for it!
However, Chris is a little difficult, because he has always been exposed to long forms, and he doesn't know who to give to short stories in the sci-fi genre.
Fortunately, Random House is a very large publishing group, with many different publishing groups and companies under it, so you can always find a suitable one.
With billions of dollars in sales a year, Random House's publishing brands are among the largest companies in their own right.
For example, Bantam Publishing Group has eight publishing houses, Crown Publishing Group has nine, Sojitz Publishing Group has 14 publishing houses, as well as Knoff, Random House Children's Publishing Group, Random House Information Group, Audio Publishing Group and Film Publishing Group.
"Belinda, can I ask you a question?"
Chris got up and asked a colleague for help.
Belinda, who was reading the first draft, looked up, "You say. ”
"I know you've signed up a few science fiction writers. Now I have a short story in my hand, which was written by Zhang Chu. Which magazine do you think is better to publish in, or which science fiction magazines do we have a good relationship with? ”
Belinda smiled slightly and said jokingly: "The readers of science fiction magazines are getting smaller and smaller, and the two physical magazines "Similar" and "Asimov Science Fiction" are quite old-fashioned. There's also Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine and the like. ”
"Thanks, you've helped me a lot. ”
"Actually, I have a suggestion that if Zhang Chu's work is placed in a science fiction magazine, it is actually a waste, and you can give it to a top magazine or journal with a wider readership, so as to create greater benefits. ”
"Which magazines are willing to publish science fiction?" Chris frowned, as a British, he didn't know much about magazines and periodicals in the United States.
"The New Yorker, for example, will do!"
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
