Short stories, including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners, take you from Earth to the edge of the Universe and back again.
NOW A #1 BLOCKBUSTING FILM.
The Sun is dying. Earth will perish too , consumed by the star in its final death throes. But rather than abandon their planet, humanity builds 12,000 mountainous fusion engines to propel the Earth out of orbit and onto a centuries-long voyage to Proxima Centaurai...
Cixin Liu is one of the most important voices in world Science Fiction . A bestseller in China, his novel, The Three-Body Problem , was the first translated work of SF ever to win the Hugo Award.
Here is the first collection of his short fiction: ten stories, including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners. This collection´s title story, The Wandering Earth, is the biggest SF movie ever to come out of China - taking the world´s #1 box office ranking in February 2019.
Liu´s writing takes the reader to the edge of the universe and the end of time, to meet stranger fates than we could have ever imagined. With a melancholic and keen understanding of human nature, Liu´s stories show humanity´s attempts to reason, navigate and, above all, survive in a desolate cosmos.
´Cixin´s trilogy is SF in the grand style, a galaxy-spanning, ideas-rich narrative of invasion and war´ GUARDIAN .
´Wildly imaginative, really interesting ... The scope of it was immense´ BARACK OBAMA, 44th President of the United States.
´Complex and grandiose ... this is a mind-altering and immersive experience´ Daily Mail .
