後人間喜劇

Rate this book
有繁複的演算、影響全世界的陰謀、爭取自由的人、魔術子彈、旋轉瀑布及熵理論。
在故事裡混戰、追逐與思考──

故事主角是以「模控學」專業聞名的香港教授胡德浩,受邀至新加坡擔任客座教授,實為秘密研究計畫的顧問。隨著故事,我們跟胡教授一起感受到這個研究計畫並非尋常。誘惑他的德國教授巴巴拉、奇特的鄰居作家「黑」、登堂入室的女學生「林恩祖」、名為「Ghost Writer」的靈魂書寫器,以及社會菁英們的權力鬥爭。

與此同時,胡教授在香港的前妻與女兒也隱隱與故事有著關聯。胡教授陷入謎霧中,唯一知道的是:他參與了一個創造超越現有人類的「後人類」計畫。單純的學術生活從此生變。

隨著恩祖身分真相浮出以及失蹤,他越來越靠近國家權力的核心,與既是律師,同時也是計畫背後金主女兒的柳海清相戀後,讓他知曉了關於這個國度的未來模樣,乃至人類的未來姿態──後人類們的生存危機。

他能否扭轉局面?擊發象徵「自由」的最後一發子彈──後人類生存宣言,為自由的正義扭轉局面?

科技、哲理、创作、国籍、阶级、社会、外人、自己人、非人、后人?恰恰董啟章新加坡駐校时碰上香港的反對《逃犯條例修訂草案》運動,让他不只不得远距离心系自家事、更得以近距离窥视外人看待这的态度。这五味杂陈独特的身处异地契机相信正是《後人間喜劇》的诞生是种难得的缘分,祝愿香港新加坡都平安,惜缘!🙏

An unusual foray into the sci-fi genre, this book is a much needed return to form by a highly cerebral literary author, only this time also a comedy. Dung manages to tune down his part-essay, part-narrative style to a more straightforward storytelling but it is ,regrettably, a likely case of falling between two stools , too trope-heavy for Dung's loyal readers but not technical/scientific for sci-fi readers (Kantian philosophy really doesn't count, Mr Dung). And no matter how he spins it in his column, that ending does not flow from his premise .

I have never read a Chinese/Cantonese fiction that is this fascinating. The wowing use of metaphors, elements from recent social movements in Hong Kong, cultural and historical differences between Hong Kong and Singapore, politics, as well as philosophical and scientific theories created a thought-provoking fiction which seems to predict our future. The writer is really eccentric and humorous. Highly recommend this book to all Hong Kongers.

也許只有在後人間,才會出現喜劇的大團圓結局。

以機場抗爭為首,胡德浩在人群中旁觀,等候登機。故事結尾同樣於機場黑壓壓的人群中,首尾呼應。不同的是,他已歷經一場抗爭,終與女兒秀杉團聚,相擁流淚。

他曾經的熱情被虛無淹滅,「隨著六四鎮壓的發生,𣊬間化為虛無的心境」。但林恩祖激起他的正義感,「在最壞的情況下,你又有一種英雄主義」,無故捲入社會權貴的權力鬥爭。在新加坡,他與海清帶領一場對抗專制的管治機器的抗爭,與爭取人權自由的生化人並肩,與同樣抗爭的香港人相互映照。

書寫於2019年10月至12月,最後一章寄語港人,「自由和公義將會在你們的心中長存,只要你們此心不變,耐心堅持,世界也會跟隨你們的心,發生驚人的轉換。」

在人間,結局會如喜劇般落幕嗎?
