小說如何介入現實？小說為何介入現實？小說介入現實思考、回應、又或產生了什麼樣的倫理問題？伊格言2013年9月出版的小說《零地點》作為一種零度書寫的文本，提供了一個反思知識傳播與小說倫理的契機。在作者不諱言希望以作品傳遞個人反對興建核四緣由之同時，《零地點》被期待發揮群治的作用。然而，當作者所傳遞的訊息是，如果一意孤行興建核四，小說虛構的內容恐將無可避免，那麼作者是認為《零地點》不僅是寓言更是預言：作為寓言，小說希望趨吉避凶；作為預言，小說信誓旦旦。本文以《零地點》為發端，討論小說作為一種知識傳播範例，如何介入現實以及如何展開了關於倫理、關於文明啟蒙的討論。

How and why does fiction intervene into reality? And what ethical conundrum does fictional intervention ponder, respond to, or produce? As a kind of degree-zero text, Ground Zero, published by Yigoyan in September 2013, offers an opportunity to reflect on issues concerning the dissemination of knowledge and the ethics of fiction. In the novel, Yigoyan makes explicit his anti-nuclear stance, hoping to instigate a collective intervention into government's decision-making. Yigoyan wishes to express that if the government insists on the construction of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant, his fiction may become reality. In this regard, Ground Zero is at once a preventive allegory and an apocalyptic prophecy. This essay provides an initial inquiry into a reconceptualization of fiction as a medium to disseminate knowledge by focusing on how fiction unfolds complex issues with regard to ethics and enlightenment.
