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 : these stories, including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners, form a blazingly original ode to planet Earth - its pasts and its futures. Liu's stories take the reader to the edge of the universe to meet stranger fates than we could have ever imagined.
With a melancholic and keen understanding of human nature, Liu explores humanity's attempts to reason, navigate and, above all, survive in an often desolate cosmos.
