The article analyzes the artistic embodiment of the world information network in the novel by V.P. Krapivin Green's ampoule. It is noted that in this work the image of the world information network is presented to the reader in two forms: the Internet and the Informatorium. They are similar in their primary function: they protect and store content. The differences however concern their origins as well as ways of encoding and saving information. The image of the Informatorium has a fantastical character. It is associated with the main storyline of the novel specifically the fate of the boy Grisha Klimchuk, nicknamed Green, as well as the story of the youth company from the free city of Insk. According to Krapivin it is no wonder that children are able to explain the nature of the Informatorium as a creation of the universe itself: children are not subject to rationalist logic, they can see the border between the real and the fantastic, they can understand the impossible as possible. The accelerator for the launching of the Informatorium, for the -release? of encoded information and its spreading, is also triggered by the actions of children. According to V. Krapivin's concept a child who is not under the power of rationalistic theories is a -conductor? of emotions. These however are capable of pushing the Informatorium into action the result of which is to save the world from a social evil that is trying to capture absolute power. The universal information network which is beyond the control of a highly technical specialist responds to children's emotions to children's faith in the triumph of goodness. This mirrors V. Krapivin's concept of his work as a whole his idea of the role and importance of the child in the world. |
