Reading Response: Carl Abbott

The concept of migrant cities is often used in science fiction, where, unlike real cities, science fiction writers imagine them to walk, crawl, roll and float.In science fiction, migratory cities exist in a perceptual bubble, with a self-satisfied narrowness and a distorted world that doesn’t care about the relationship between energy and physics.

In snow-piercer, the train is a high-speed, closed loop, hierarchical system that protects people from the natural wind and snow, but they must endure confinement and not freedom. The gluttony of the upper part of the train comes from the extreme poverty of the lower part of the train.Each carriage, representing a small unit, hides the good and evil of human nature, cunning, intelligence and simplicity, and in turn reveals the exploitation and overexploitation of assets in the class.The movie is a reminder of class problems in the real world.

    Appreciate your point about the distortion of the world in fictional migratory cities. Perhaps you may better link your ideas in the first and second paragraphs. Although the fictional cities are often not scientific, they have utilized the fictional medium to convey messages of real-life problems.
