Transrealism

Transrealism is a mixture of techniques use in Science Fiction, the technique used can create a naturalistic realism meaning it could just take the readers away from reality. Transrealism literature is close to surrealism and also abit of the slipstream. From what i read from the The Transrealist manifesto it states that transrealism is not so much of science fiction and more like a history literature. A transrealist novel can't be written with a outline, writers can only choose characters, time, setting and key scenes and mostly that comes out of it doesn't make sense as we know when we read a book and it's predictable there is not much of an interest, the reason why the content doesn't make sense because life itself doesn't.

The library of babel, in this library which we can't possibly find on earth has all the unlimited number of books. Isnt it just interesting, though i am not the type that read all kinds of books and sometimes i even find books boring well maybe because i didn't know them well enough but it i were there i'll probably gone mad too seeing all the books surrounding me. Even though there's answer in this library and time we spent reading everybook we probably can't unless we have immotality. But the question is even though the library books has answer for everything meaning all the contents/books are all truth and if that's the case i would like to find out alot of things like dragons, vampires, ghost, immotality, plenty more.

The Circular Ruins is quite interesting after reading the story of it i kind of think that well some people say that humans are made by Nu wa and some says that we are made by god so does that mean that there are actually 2 god or more making humans? so chinese are all made by nu wa and those foreigner are all made by god? anyway, so we are made by gods and what made god? they don't just born out of a stone like monkey king.

I watched a few shows before that is kind of similar to this story, one of it is the movie Gamer where the prisoner was controled by real humans called slayers to play a game, This game aint fake because if the slayers isn't good enough the players in the game dies of real death. And to successfully get out of the prison the players must win a number of rounds inorder to gain freedom, the only bad thing was that the players are not suppose to choose people that control them but the control player gets to choose. It's like playing with human life.


Sometimes thoughts came to me when i'm playing the sims by controlling the sim to do what i want them to do so does that mean that i am being controlled as well to do things that i didn't want to do? or am i being programmed that even if i didn't want to do it i will still do it? well we never know what's out there beyond the universe and

slipstream
slipstream is a kind of non realisic fiction that is said to be the fiction of strangness. slipstreams falls between mainstream fiction and fiction. slipstream creates a world where things does not make sense as well, one of the movie that i think doesn't make sense was Alice in the wonderland where alice falls from the rabbit hole into an unknown world where flowers and speak and caterpillar that smokes.

Comparing
Science Fiction are mostly base on technology and even though it may or maynot be real it is still counted as theoretically possible for it to happen and fantasy are mostly base on magic though the rules and laws has been bend.

Transrealism and slipstream are similar in a sense that they disconnects with reality and context doesn't make sense but transreal uses fantasy that merges the thoughts of the author's perspective of the world in his mind.

while merging transrealism with fantasy it gives people a different feeling like a world of nothing created by magic. Merging different genre can create different feelings and it just gets interesting as it is said to not make any sense and unpredictable that captures people's mind.
