Broken Stars, edited and translated by award-winning author Ken Liu, gathers sixteen groundbreaking short stories from China’s most visionary science fiction writers.
In Liu Cixin’s Moonlight, a man is contacted by three future versions of himself, each desperate to save their world. Hao Jingfang’s The New Year Train takes 1,500 passengers on a journey into space when their train mysteriously vanishes. Tang Fei’s title story reveals how the stars themselves can foretell the future.
Alongside these tales are three insightful essays on the history and rise of Chinese science fiction, the growth of fandom, and how global attention is transforming the genre.
Dazzling, thought-provoking, and richly imaginative, Broken Stars is an essential collection that celebrates the bold voices shaping the future of speculative fiction.
