One the one hand, the climaxes of science-fiction narratives frequently coincide with a utopian promise. On the last page of Kim Stanley Robinson\u2019s Mars trilogy (1992\u201396), for example, Ann describes her new habitat in glowing terms: \u201cNowhere on this world were people killing each other, nowhere were they desperate for shelter or food, nowhere were they scared for their kids.\u201d Peace has come, finally. On the other hand, the joyful prospect of Eternal Peace stands at odds with the experiences of those unlucky protagonists who indeed inhabit a society that has already been harmonized. Especially in dystopian writing, the beneficiaries of Eternal Peace are bound to suffer from oppressive laws and homogenized lifestyles. Others simply feel bored beyond belief. The Controller in Aldous Huxley\u2019s Brave New World (1932) already knows: \u201cActual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the over-compensations for misery. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/wls.sav.sk\/?page_id=741\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor: Johannes D.
