Öz

Bu çalışmada The Rim of Eternity (1964) adlı roman çatışma, bilimsel gelişme ve küresel güç dinamikleri konularını ele alan distopik bir roman olarak incelenmektedir. Roman, distopik kurgudaki daha geniş eğilimler, özellikle de askeri ve bilimsel gelişmeyle tanımlanan bir gelecek tasviri ışığında analiz edilmektedir. Araştırma, romanın teknolojiyi hem bir kontrol aracı hem de beklenmedik sonuçları olan bir güç olarak nasıl tasvir ettiğine odaklanıyor ve düzenlenmemiş bilimsel büyümenin tehlikelerini vurguluyor. Çalışma aynı zamanda romanın değişen süper güçleri nasıl tasvir ettiğine de bakmakta, kaynaklar ve askeri hakimiyet için küresel ve galaktik mücadelenin anlatıyı nasıl etkilediğine odaklanmaktadır. Araştırma, The Rim of Eternity romanında modern kaygıların yanı sıra çatışma, teknolojik hakimiyet ve insanlığın insanlar arası ve uzaylı tehditlere karşı savunmasızlığı ile şekillenen bir geleceğe dair kötümser bir görüşü nasıl yansıttığını göstermek için bu temaları incelemektedir.

This study examines The Rim of Eternity (1964) as a dystopian novel that addresses issues of conflict, scientific growth, and global power dynamics. The novel is analysed in light of larger tendencies in dystopian fiction, particularly its depiction of a future defined by military and scientific development. The research focuses on how the novel portrays technology as both a tool for control and a force with unexpected consequences, stressing the dangers of unregulated scientific growth. The study also looks at how the novel depicts shifting superpowers, focusing on how global and galactic struggle for resources and military dominance impact the narrative. The study examines these themes to show how The Rim of Eternity reflects modern concerns as well as a pessimistic view of a future moulded by conflict, technological domination, and humanity's vulnerability to inter-human and alien threats.
