Frankenstein 的作者 Mary Shelley 于 1826 年创作了末日题材小说 The Last Man。这部采用第一人称叙事的小说讲述了我们的世界在二十一世纪末的处境，以及在一场瘟疫带来毁灭性打击后人类的灭亡。Shelley 在书中写道，这个故事是根据在那不勒斯附近一个山洞里发现的预言书卷编织而成的。The Last Man 于 2008 年被改编成电影。[1]: http://openlibrary.org/works/OL450125W/Frankenstein

I would strongly recommend tackling Issac Asimov's 'Foundation' series as one of the all time classics. Another pretty early one to take a look at is 'We' by Yevgeny Zamyatin. It was the first book…
……是否可以考虑用别的方案来替代它们？软科幻把严密的推想与其他侧重点结合在一起，但仍然严谨对待这些推想。例如，Mary Shelley 在《The Last Man》中描写的长途热气球旅行，就是对当时前沿技术一种显得退化且天真的真诚推演，显然是为了表明这个悲剧故事是对遥远未来的构想（尽管这个小……
…alternatives to them might be considered? Soft science fiction mixes rigorous speculation with other priorities but still takes it seriously. For example, long-range balloon travel in Mary Shelley's The Last Man is an atrophic and naive earnest extrapolation of the bleeding edge technology of the time that is clearly meant to establish that the tragic story is a vision of a far future (which, despite this little…
