在中國當代文學與歷史的互動中，「反烏托邦書寫」經常是被忽略的文學表現形式。然而，反烏托邦書寫卻呈現了中國作家對毛澤東時代烏托邦運動的省思。被譽為中國科幻界「三巨頭」之一的王晉康，於2007 年出版的《蟻生》書寫了一場在文化大革命期間失敗的烏托邦實驗，展現了作者對烏托邦追求的警剔。王晉生自言《蟻生》是他最為滿意的小說，但學術界對這部小說的探討不多。本文旨在深入分析《蟻生》的反烏托邦書寫。全文共分為四部分：第一部分探析《蟻生》呈現的烏托邦與共產主義烏托邦的關連。第二部分則詳細分析《蟻生》對烏托邦預設的批判。第三部分則析論《蟻生》怎樣綰合了對文革和烏托邦追求的雙重否定。第四部分關注小說如何展現對後毛澤東時期，烏托邦幽影不散的警剔。

In the interaction of contemporary Chinese literature and history, the antiutopia style of expression is frequently neglected in literature. The anti-utopia style of expression is the reflection of Mao Zedong’s Utopia Movement from the Chinese authors. Jinkang Wang is one of the Big Three in Chinese Science Fiction. His fiction, Life of Ant, is his most prominent work of anti-utopia style of expression. This article aims at examining the anti-utopia style of expression in Life of Ant. It contains four parts: The first part discusses the correlation between the utopianism in Life of Ant and communism. The second part analyzes the critics of utopia presupposition in Life of Ant. The third part examines how the author disavows the Cultural Revolution and utopianism. The fourth part demonstrates how the fiction carries the vigilance about the shadow of utopia under post-Mao era. The antiutopia style of expression is the reflection of Wang towards Mao Zedong’s Utopia Movement. It implies that the reality of utopianism is cruel and impractical.
