Description
The Sun is dying. Earth will perish too, consumed by the star in its final death throes. In response, humanity builds 12,000 mountainous fusion engines to propel the planet out of orbit and onto a centuries-long voyage to Proxima Centauri. Cixin Liu's short stories explore the human condition in the face of an unforgiving cosmos. This collection, featuring ten tales including five Chinese Galaxy Award-winners, showcases Liu's unique blend of science fiction and humanity's struggles to survive in a desolate universe. Liu's writing takes readers on a journey to the edge of time and space, where they will encounter stranger fates than they could have ever imagined. With a melancholic and keen understanding of human nature, his stories offer a glimpse into a future that is both familiar and yet, utterly alien.
