Description

We re mysterious aliens in the crowd. We jump like fleas from future to past and back again, and float like clouds of gas between nebulae; in a flash, we can reach the edge of the universe, or tunnel into a quark, or swim within a star-core... We re as unassuming as fireflies, yet our numbers grow like grass in spring. We sci-fi fans are people from the future. - Cixin Liu, from the essay Sci-Fi Fans

A View from the Stars features a range of short works from the past three decades of New York Times bestselling author Cixin Liu s prolific career, putting his nonfiction essays and short stories side-by-side for the first time. This collection includes essays and interviews that shed light on Liu s experiences as a reader, writer, and lover of science fiction throughout his life, as well as short fiction that gives glimpses into the evolution of his imaginative voice over the years.

About the Author

Cixin Liu is China s #1 SF writer and author of The Three-Body Problem - the first ever translated novel to win a Hugo Award. Prior to becoming a writer, Liu worked as an engineer in a power plant in Yangquan.
