One of the most significant voices in science fiction today is Cixin Liu. His novel, The Three-Body Problem, was a best-seller in China and the first translated SF work to ever take home the Hugo Award. This is the first collection of his short stories, which consists of ten pieces, five of which have won Chinese Galaxy Awards. The Wandering Earth, the collection's title tale, became the highest grossing science fiction film ever to come out of China in February 2019. With stranger fates than we could have ever imagined, Liu's narrative transports the reader to the very edge of the cosmos and the end of time. The stories in Liu's collection depict humanity's attempts to reason, navigate, and, most importantly, love.
