Because of the road idiot + community fear, I have always resisted going out. Every time I go to a new place, even if I open the navigation app and GPS, I will get lost in all likelihood. The city is like a big pocket that will always be rebuilt. Specially picking up passers-by. Lost in the row of high-rise buildings and the subway roads of the Folding Snakes, the unfinished emotions were accurately captured by the teacher Yu Ye, and summarized into the light novel “Yokohama Station SF”
“99% of Honshu Island in Japan is covered by Yokohama Station.” A word of slogan not only shows the background, but also suspense, how will Honshu Island be covered by Yokohama Station, and what will happen to Honshu Island after being covered by Yokohama Station? Following the simple interest, let us follow the protagonist Sandao to find people to walk through the “sightseeing” tour of Yokohama Station, which takes five days and spans 400 kilometers
细想, “Yokohama Station SF” may be the unique style of my recent recommended works, undoubtedly, this is a good entertainment that is worth the time to read, but horizontally, it is A science fiction novel. Yokohama Station, which is constantly undergoing reconstruction, has finally begun to self-proliferate at some point in the future. After 200 years, the Japanese government has ceased to exist. The station Suika system is in the order of “automatic ticket inspection machine”. And the “residents in the station” who live in the station and the “outside residents” who live in the rest of the station
Slightly, the prototype of “Suika Chip” is Suica (Watermelon Card) issued by JR East Japan, similar to the Chinese bus card, and can also be used in convenience stores. According to the standard of science fiction, the background of the story of “Yokohama Station SF” is nothing more than a tragic allegory that artifacts are controlled by creators and human beings are countered by technology
Some traditional science fiction novels often indulge in grand narratives. Few people can open their brains to the “station”. This book has some origins in this brain hole and light novels. At the beginning, I was a teacher of my own biology researcher. In 2015, I put forward the “Yokohama Station Life Body Theory” on Twitter, and wrote the outline of the novel
After receiving a warm response on Twitter, Mr. Yan posted the article on the novel submission website “カクヨム” and won the first カクヨムThe SF department award in the web novel contest, successfully published, and the praise is constant, ranking “this light novel is really amazing! 2018” list single line novel department new work ranking first Bit

Although we have been honored, we still have to look at the hard power of this novel. Mishima seeks people to live in the narrow sea otter under the long escalator at the exit of the 1415 Yokohama Station. The locals rely on the waste discharged from Yokohama Station. If there is no Suika account, they cannot enter Yokohama Station. A 5-kilometer boundary takes a lifetime
The tracing person accidentally got an “18 ticket”, which can temporarily enter Yokohama Station within 5 days without being arrested by the automatic ticket checking machine. From the man who entrusted his ticket and the professor from the station, he found someone. Knowing the “Tobacco Pipe Alliance” organization, the 42nd exit and other keywords, I entered the Yokohama Station for the purpose of this trip
The scene inside the station is novel and impactful. The elevators and passages in the disorderly state constitute a huge station maze. After 200 years of age, several super-large layered cities gradually formed. The automatic ticket checking machine that patrols back and forth mechanically checks whether the residents in the station hold the Suika account number and whether the behavior is over-the-counter. If the offender is found, the driver will be directly expelled from the station, and let him stop at the station outside the station where most of the grass is not born.
In the distant past, mankind has lost control of the station. Now, in the face of Yokohama Station, which is incarnate as a “foundational madman”, human will have almost no effect. People like the members of the tobacco pipe alliance are determined to fight against the station. Most people are comfortable with the “ruling” of the Suika system, and even take the actions set by the automatic ticket checker program as a standard
But these are ridiculous or sorrowful realities have nothing to do with the search for people, he is just a chance to visit the Yokohama Station passengers, will be expelled after 5 days. There is no hero to save the world in this novel. There is no demon to destroy the station. Finding people is like living in the world. You want to “change the narrow world where you are.” The courage and ability are only enough to take a step
Japan is not only based on Honshu Island, Hokkaido in the north, Kyushu and Shikoku in the south, under the leadership of JR North Japan and JR Fukuoka, respectively, trying to prevent Yokohama Station invasion in different ways. Roles such as JR North Japan Bionics, which are similar to human children, and JR Fukuoka employees who plan to steal weapons, also have a place in the story
The addition of more factions and characters has brought about more intense conflicts and turning points in the plot, but the sense of powerlessness created by the teacher’s relying on the world view still highlights the literary temperament of this work. The Yokohama Station, which is infinitely expanding like a cancer cell, is reminiscent of the ultra-structural body of the classic sci-fi comic “BLAME!” of the bottle, whether it is living in the station or outside the station, it does not escape the devour of Yokohama Station, and the external living space continues. Being compressed, people’s hearts are getting more and more desolate and absurd
The inability of the human group and the passive and inaction shown by the search for people all the way, Yokohama Station expands in the way of “infectious genetic infection”, and records and replicates the material structure formed by its long-term continuous reconstruction. At the moment when the area of the island is 99%, anyone and everything can be the last straw to crush the camel. It is a sigh that the evolution, reproduction and extinction of the “Yokohama Station Life” are not transferred by human will..
“Yokohama Station SF” tells a rational story. Its profound reflection on science and technology and humanities allows readers to think about what life is and what is intellectual. Who has the right to decide the fate of the world? With a ticket for Yokohama Station, a future is in front of you, and you may wish to give yourself a chance to enter the station
