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.
