• Description:
  The key point of this article is: on the XX/XXI centuries we more and more often apply heroes, subjects and conventions of the science fiction, particularly when we talk and write about problems of the contemporary civilization. Donna Haraway in the eighties XX century claimed that for the description of the contemporary symbiosis of the human and technology we need new metaphors. In her articles a cyborg is the main character of a new world, and science fiction is an important literary genre, more important than realism genre. Jean Baudrillard claimed that our experiencing reality is shaped through science fiction. In the other words, we are talking about world (technology, telecommunication, techno−science, techno−medicine) using metaphors science fiction. Not only critics of the contemporary culture, but also writers are delivering this opinion, for the example writer Orson Scott Card claimed that we live in the days of the science fiction, and our reality is science fiction. In the article I am presenting arguments in support of these theses. I am concentrating on such phenomena, as technology, telecommunication, techno−science, techno−medicine. The first, I am interested above all in; the second, I am interested how people are describing these occurrences, what words and metaphors they are using to describe contemporary techno−world.
