II PART
Can science fiction still predict the future?

In the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke shows us Dr. Heywood
Floyd reading his “newspad”, where he can consult any newspaper he wishes. How many future
computer engineers read this science fiction classic – or saw the motion picture – and thought: “I
want one of those!”? As science fiction fans know, finding examples in earlier fiction that resemble
new technology brings a glow of satisfaction at seeing our world foretold. But how has rapid
technological development affected such forecasts?
Wondering how scientific advances would shape the future is not a new preoccupation – indeed,
rocket propulsion may first have been suggested in a 1657 work by Cyrano de Bergerac, who
shoots his hero to the moon with firecrackers. But few have been so enthralled by imaginings of
the future as John Claudius Loudon. In the March 1828 issue of Gardener’s Magazine, Loudon ran
a review of Jane Webb’s The Mummy!, a novel about an Egyptian mummy resurrected in the 22 nd
century. So impressed was Loudon by Webb’s steam-powered agricultural machines, air beds,
milking machines and smokeless fuel that he arranged an introduction to the young writer. They
were later married.
Enthusiasm about such speculation hasn’t been universal. For example, Jules Verne’s 1863 novel
Paris in the Twentieth Century depicted a 1960s world of skyscrapers, fax machines and even a
proto-internet. It was turned down by his publisher as “unbelievable”, and only finally published in
1994.
In the 20th century, emerging technologies made such ideas more believable. In 1926, the first
issue of the science fiction magazine Amazing Stories enthused: “Extravagant Fiction Today…
Cold Fact Tomorrow”. In 1928, the British newspaper Daily Mail published an issue forecasting the
year 2000 – with giant flat-screen TVs in public places -, which caused little surprise. As time goes
by, though, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between science fiction and reality.
Of course, some have argued that projecting a plausible future is more science than art. Robert
Heinlein was one of many authors credited with “inventing” the cell phone, which appears in his
1948 novel Space Cadet. Those with an ache to foretell the future may want to take a page out of
his book: he maintained that his “prophecies” – which included atomic weapons and remote
controls – were not born solely of his imagination, but rooted in his science education and
knowledge of current research.

3ª) Segundo o texto, por que obras mais antigas de ficção científica trazem satisfação a
seus fãs? (1,0pt)

Porque essas obras mais antigas como 2001 uma odisséia no espaço serviram de
inspiração para vários engenheiros e pessoas que seguiram a área da ciência, além de que
essas obras mais antigas mostram tecnologias que se assemelham com tecnologias que
temos na atualidade.

4ª) No 2º parágrafo, o autor desenvolve uma ideia e, para comprová-la, dá exemplos de

inventos presentes em obras de ficção científica. Cite dois dos inventos mencionados.
a) Invento 1 (0,5pt)

O lançamento de foguete que pode ter sido proposto em 1657 na obra de Cyrano de
Bergerac.

b) Invento 2 (0,5pt)

A ressuscitação que foi proposta em 1828 pela imaginação de Jonh Claudius Loudon.

3ª) Uma obra pode ser avaliada levando-se em conta os seguintes aspectos:
1- Coerência interna;
2 - Relação com a realidade.
O texto informa que o editor de Júlio Verne se recusou a publicar Paris in the Twentieth Century
porque a obra seria “inacreditável”.

a) Aponte qual dos aspectos mencionados acima explica a atitude do editor. (0,5pt)

2- Relação com a realidade

b) Justifique sua resposta. (0,5pt)

Seria inacreditável uma pessoa que vivia em 1863 acreditar que o mundo teria prédios
enormes, sistemas de Fax e principalmente um protótipo de uma coisa que nem era
conhecida na época que era a Internet
