    Studio B - Lobpreisung und Verriss (Ein Literaturmagazin)

    Kürzlich stolperte ich über diese Liste mit "Fünf Must-Read Büchern" und diesmal ging es um "Science Fiction, empfohlen von Wissenschaftlern". Nerd, der ich bin, hatte ich vier davon schon gelesen und irgendetwas bewog mich dazu, mich der Lobpreisungen der Anne Findeisen zu erinnern und, obwohl bisher enttäuscht, sagte ich mir, gehen wir also nochmal in einen Kazuo Ishiguro rein, ich meine, der Mann ist Literaturnobelpreisträger. Der Name des empfohlenen Werkes: "Klara und die Sonne".Wie es sich (für mich) gehört, ohne das Lesen von Klappentexten, Einführungen oder gar Rezensionen, wusste ich nicht im Ansatz, worum es geht, doch mit ein bisschen Detektei war bald klar, "KF"s, wie die zunächst hauptsächlich handelnden Personen genannt werden, sind keine solche - es sind Künstliche Freunde, in einem Spezialgeschäft zum Kauf angebotene Androiden, gedacht als Begleiter für die Kinder reicher, wohlangesehener, berufstätiger Menschen.Wir verstehen, das Konzept der KFs muss eingeführt werden, wir lernen zwei Exemplare kennen, die eine etwas dumm und desinteressiert, die andere, Klara die künftige Hauptheldin, hyperaufmerksam und ungewöhnlich intelligent, wir sehen die Welt durch ihre Augen, ein enger Straßenausschnitt, ein Hochhaus, eine Baumaschine; aber die vierte Beschreibung des beschränkten Ausschnittes einer Straßenszenerie aus der Sicht der künstlich freundlichen Schaufensterpuppen ist nicht interessanter als die dritte. Wann geht's nun endlich los?Schlussendlich, ein paar dutzend Seiten im Buch, wird KF Klara gekauft, von der Mutter von Josie und es kommt leicht Fahrt in die Geschichte und damit wir hier nicht ins Spoilertrauma geraten, lassen wir diese im Buch geschehen und nicht in der Rezension und kommen zur viel, viel interessanteren Frage:Ist Herr Falschgold ein Zoni aus dem literarischen Hinterland?Man muss nicht jeden Literaturnobelpreisträger kennen und schon gar nicht jedes Preisträger Biografie studieren, aber man kann schon wissen, dass nicht jeder Schriftsteller mit einem japanischen Namen aus Japan kommt, point in case, Kazuo Ishiguro. Der wuchs in England auf und schreibt schon immer auf Englisch, was die Frage des Herrn FG nach der Ursache der seltsam schlechten Übersetzung des Romans aus dem Japanischen zunächst in eine herrlich peinliche Richtung führte. Das diskutierte er gottlob mit sich selbst und seinen verschiedenen Suchmaschinen- und AI-Chatbot-Abonnements, die ihm, wie sich das für derlei Geräte in 2025, wie für die KFs im Buch, gehört, zunächst in allen seinen Meinungen und Vorurteilen bestätigten: Ja, sagte Claude, im Japanischen gibt man Kleidungsstücken gerne einmal Eigenschaften wie "hochgestellt", was ja eher den Träger charakterisiert und das ist zweifellos schwer übersetzbar, ergo, so die KI, ein "hochgestellter Anzug" sollte nicht so genannt werden! Dass es im Deutschen die durchaus gebräuchliche Bezeichnung "vornehm", zum Beispiel bei einem Kostüm gibt, kam weder der LLM noch dem Rezensenten in den Sinn, das hätte ja die Grundannahme in Frage gestellt.Was nichts an der Tatsache ändert, dass ich mit der deutschen Übersetzung, vermeintlich aus dem Japanischen, überhaupt nicht zu Rande gekommen bin. Ja, ich schob es auf die Inkompatibilität des Japanischen zu westlichen Sprachen und hatte mich aufgrund dieser Annahme bewusst entschlossen, die deutsche Übersetzung zu lesen - warum soll man ein Buch sprachlich zweimal verschieben, einmal von der Übersetzerin und ein zweites Mal im Kopf? Aber so unlesbar war das Werk, dass ich denn doch mal die englische Version holte, um zu schauen, ob dort besser gearbeitet wurde und stoße dann auf die offensichtliche Information, dass "Barbara Schaden[..] den Roman "Klara und die Sonne" von Kazuo Ishiguro aus der englischen Sprache ins Deutsche übersetzt…" hat.Ok, da wird vieles klarer, denn das starre Subjekt-Prädikat-Objekt des Englischen und die generelle Abneigung dem Schachtelsatz gegenüber machen das vermeintlich japaneske Stakkato der Sätze erklärbarer und wenn man die dann genauso fantasielos und ohne Rücksicht auf Wortwiederholungen ins Deutsche prügelt, kommt das raus, was der Leser der deutschen Übersetzung von "Klara und die Sonne" durchleiden muss: Starre, unnatürliche Formulierungen, die grammatikalisch sicher richtig sind, aber so im Deutschen nicht gesprochen werden. Denn Kazuo Ishiguro schreibt ein seltsames Englisch. Zumindest in "Klara und die Sonne". Er scheut die Wiederholung nicht, er schreibt der Sonne ein Geschlecht zu, was im Englischen möglich, aber höchst ungewöhnlich ist (und für deutsche Ohren umso mehr, als dass diese im Englischen männlich beartikelt wird). Es werden angesprochene Personen im Satz in die dritte Person gesetzt, es werden ausgedachte Eigennamen eingeführt und bleiben unerklärt.Nachdem es mir ein paar Tage auf der Zunge lag und im Hinterkopf hin- und herschepperte, kam ich dann drauf, an welches Buch mich das Ganze erinnert: An das letztens hier besprochene "Narrenschiff" von Christoph Hein. Ok, "recency bias" heißt das in der Fachsprache, es gibt sicher bessere Beispiele, aber die Beschreibungen der Welt von Klara und ihrer Sonne sind für mich als, vielleicht hinterwäldlerischen Zoni, so steif und formalistisch, so unverständlich wie für einen Wessi die Nomenklatura, die Begriffe, die Namen in der DDR. Und während ich bei Christoph Hein die "Kunstsprache" SED-Deutsch verteidigt habe, oder wenigstens zu "Kunst" erklärt, tu ich mich hier schwer. Ja, Kazuo Ishiguro will uns eine Welt nahebringen, in der künstliche Helfer genetisch verbesserte Kinder in einer streng hierarchischen Gesellschaft betreuen und dass diese künstlichen Helfer nicht den größten intellektuellen Spielraum und -willen haben, will vermittelt sein. Es ist ein wenig wie die Erzählung einer Welt aus der Sicht und mit der Sprache eines Kindes. Kann man machen, aber mir verdirbt das den Lesegenuss.Wie angedeutet, besonders unverständlich im zweifachen Sinne sind die Eigennamen. Da gibt es Bürogebäude, Baumaschinen, Universitäten, die ausgedacht sind, aber real sein könnten, so real, dass man sie kurz googelt und merkt, dass Ishiguro das auch getan und englisch klingende Namen solange variiert hat, bis er keine Ergebnisse mehr gefunden hat. Ok, kann man machen. Aber dann sollte man doch irgendeinen Hinweis hinterlassen, was diese "Atlas Brookings” Uni darstellen soll, in die ein Nebenheld aufgenommen werden möchte: ist es eher Oxford oder Berkeley, Yale oder Stanford. Genau die gleiche Frage stellt sich, wenn ein Gebäude zehnmal im Buch erwähnt wird, sodass man als Leser denken muss, dass das irgendwie wichtig wäre. Aber nichts wird erklärt, kein Kontext nirgendwo.Ich habe am Ende sogar gecheckt, ob "Klara und die Sonne" vielleicht Teil einer Buchreihe ist, wo man voraussetzen kann, dass die Leserin weiß, was die Eigennamen bedeuten. Nein, ist es nicht, es wird einfach nicht erklärt und man liest als Leser immer ahnungsloser durch einen Roman, der keinen Sinn ergibt. Das betrifft nicht nur Eigennamen. Auch die Verben "gehoben" und "ungehoben" ("lifted/unlifted" im Englischen) als Adjektiv für Kinder, bleiben bis weit nach der Hälfte des Romans unerklärt, was eine künstlerische Entscheidung ist, nur halt keine gute - speziell, wenn man das dann in einer Übersetzung liest und davon ausgehen muss, dass hier Sinn verloren gegangen ist.Dazu kommen fragwürdige Entscheidungen im Setting: Jede Fiktion braucht ein klein wenig Übersehen von Lücken in Konzeption oder Handlung, aber ein KI-gesteuerter Android in der Zukunft, der ein Telefon als solches nicht erkennt und es Rechteck nennt, ist ein bisschen viel verlangt. Mütter, Kinder, Väter schauen in ihre Rechtecke, Gartentore sind Bilderrahmen, harmlose Baumaschinen die Ursache globaler Umweltverschmutzung und so wird dann der Weg bereitet, dass der solarbetriebene Android die Sonne für einen Gott hält, dem es, wenn man ihm nur genug Opfer bringt, ein Leichtes ist, ein todsterbenskrankes Kind zu retten (sorry für den Spoiler). Klingt als Elevatorpitch irgendwie stimmig, nach 350 Seiten weiß man dann - leider nur als dieser.Dabei wäre das Ganze zu retten gewesen, die Story ist eine hervorragende Basis für philosophische Betrachtungen. Nicht nur über Künstliche Intelligenz und deren Servilität und dem Nach-dem-Mund-reden. Wie wir (viel zu spät) lernen, sind alle "gehobenen" Kinder genetisch verbessert, warum nimmt der Autor diesen Handlungsstrang nicht auf? Und es dienen in der Buchwelt Androiden nicht nur der Kinderbetreuung, sondern haben auch viele Menschen arbeitslos gemacht (wir lernen das buchstäblich in einem Nebensatz und hören nie wieder davon). Und man kann und muss über die Normalisierung unser aller Interaktionen mit künstlichen Intelligenzen sprechen, siehe oben, was, zugegeben, im Jahr 2020 noch kein etabliertes Phänomen war, aber, Kazuo Ishiguro schreibt hier Science Fiction, wie toll wäre es gewesen, wäre er darauf gekommen!All das passiert nicht, die Sprache ist anstrengend, die Story nicht inspiriert, der Tiefgang, er fehlt. Was uns leider zu einem harten Urteil führt: Man muss "Klara und die Sonne" weder wegen der Story noch der Sprache lesen und auch die philosophischen Ideen muss die Leserin leider in sich selbst finden und das geht einfacher draußen, unter der realen Sonne, solange sie noch scheint, als in ein Buch versunken, welches keine dieser Ideen aufnimmt.Sehr schade.

    Get in touch with us!The dark minions may have tried to sabotage our first episode, but we're back with a deep dive into the fascinating world of Dark Conspiracy, GDW's dystopian monster-hunting RPG from 1991.Dark Conspiracy occupies a unique place in roleplaying history – a game that bridges old-school wargaming crunch with forward-thinking character development systems. We explore how this game, with its eerily prescient setting of corporate overreach and societal collapse, created some of the most detailed and mismatched parties in gaming. Where else could you play a heavily-armed scooby gang featuring a Navy SEAL, a paramedic, and a homeless guy with sunglasses?The game's mechanical complexity is both its blessing and curse. We marvel at the obsessive detail – magazine tracking sheets for individual bullets, eight pages of space travel rules in a monster-hunting game, and vehicle stats for everything from military hardware to Winnebagos. Yet beneath this crunch lies innovative systems for character development, NPC generation, and adventure design that were ahead of their time.We also connect Dark Conspiracy to GDW's broader legacy, from Traveller to Twilight 2000, examining how these games influenced an entire generation of players. Our discussion ranges from character optimization (cyborg escapees with strength 18, anyone?) to the evolution of game design, from pure simulation to narrative focus.Whether you're a longtime fan of GDW games or simply curious about this fascinating chapter in RPG history, join us for this exploration of a game that tried to have rules for everything – including how many tons of cargo your spacecraft could deliver to the moon.What was your experience with Dark Conspiracy or other GDW games? Did you track every bullet, or handwave the crunch in favor of the story?

    Get in touch with us!PRODUCTION NOTE - INCIDENT REPORT #DC-001Subject: Anomalous Audio Interference During Initial RecordingClassification: Empathic Incursion (Suspected)Status: RESOLVEDFellow Minion Hunters,We regret to inform you that our initial release of this episode experienced what can only be described as supernatural audio interference. During the original recording session, our carefully balanced audio levels were mysteriously altered, causing the background music to surge in volume and completely drown out the primary discussion track.Our technical analysis revealed no equipment malfunctions, no human error, and no logical explanation for the phenomenon. The audio signatures show patterns consistent with Class-3 empathic interference, specifically targeting frequencies in the vocal range while amplifying ambient sound elements.Possible explanations include:•Dark Minions attempting to suppress information about their 1991 operational plans•Residual dimensional energy from discussing proto-dimensional travel rules•The ghost of Lester W. Smith protecting his space combat mechanics from ridicule•Standard equipment failure (least likely explanation)After consulting with our empathic technical specialist and performing the appropriate protective rituals, we have successfully remastered this episode. The dark forces have been contained, the audio has been properly balanced, and you can now hear our full discussion of Game Designers' Workshop's prescient masterpiece of dystopian horror.We apologize for any inconvenience caused by these otherworldly interruptions. As any Dark Conspiracy veteran knows, the conspiracy never sleeps—and apparently, it really doesn't want you to hear us making fun of the space travel rules.Stay vigilant. Trust no one.
