New Wave Science Fiction / 科幻新浪潮

New Wave science fiction / 科幻新浪潮 is the literary-history frame used in sp.03 串台｜趁生命气息逗留：泽拉兹尼与他的梦境 to situate [[RogerZelazny|Roger Zelazny]]. The episode describes it as a 1960s movement associated with a break from Golden Age science fiction’s narrower interest in hard technology, physical rules, and problem-solving adventure.

In the source’s account, New Wave science fiction emphasizes psychology, sociology, satire, formal experiment, and unstable genre boundaries. Zelazny is treated as a transitional figure rather than a nihilist: he uses the movement’s freedom but keeps a humanistic center of struggle, dignity, and awe.

Key Claims

• New Wave science fiction loosens genre rules by bringing in literary technique, psychology, social critique, satire, and formal experiment.
• The movement can blur science fiction, fantasy, and mainstream literature without erasing speculative premises.
• Zelazny’s place in the movement is defined by tension: experimental form, but persistent humanist and heroic energy.
• [[DangerousVisions|Dangerous Visions]] is the episode’s recommended anthology for the wider New Wave field.
