Abstract

Abstract: Klara and the Sun is the latest masterpiece of the British Japanese writer Kazuo Ishiguro. The novel is set in a future society with rapid development of science and technology， and describes the observation of Klara， a child intelligent robot with extremely human characteristics， and her reflection on human society， as well as her encounter and separation from Josie's family. As his new sci-fiction work， Klara and the Sun reflects the integration of literature and film， and shows the perfect combination of sci-fiction elements and novel creation， and the author's artistic practice of breaking through language restrictions and promoting the integration of multiple media. In Klara and the Sun， Kazuo Ishiguro not only incorporated the T-800 in Terminator Ⅱ into the creation of the protagonist's image in the novel， presenting human metaphors and reflections on racism with a broad critical vision， but also creatively presented the geometric visual picture at the end of science fiction classic 2001: a Space Odyssey as Klara's subjective observation mode， showing the collision between science and technology and humanities， so as to realize the cross-media integration of literature and sci-fiction films.

Key words: Klara and the Sun; Kazuo Ishiguro; novel; sci-fiction film; cross-media
