With a sense of wonder and a touch of melancholy, Cixin beautifully describes the changes to our planet, the freezing oceans, the tsunamis, the destruction by meteors, as it passes through its various ages...the Reigning Age, the Exodial Age, the Wandering Age...on its trip to its final resting place. It is the writing of Arthur C Clarke meets H G Wells. Find all the books, read about the author, and more. Cixin Liu’s “The Wandering Earth” collects ten short stories from the Hugo and Nebula Award winning author. however, I do feel it can be longer. The Wandering Earth (Chinese: 流浪地球) is a 2019 Chinese science fiction action film directed by Frant Gwo, loosely based on the 2000 novella of the same name by author Liu Cixin. Still a great read though. All in all, this book contains some of the best SF I have read in a long time. Take, for example, the obvious problem regarding why humans don’t just flee in spaceships (in “The Wandering Earth”) or how the history of the world is replayed to a victim of a lynching (in “Cannonball”). His novel, The Three-Body Problem, was the first translated work of SF ever to win the Hugo Award. All of this was confirmed and more by The Wandering Earth, an anthology of ten (or eleven if you’re reading certain earlier ebook editions) glorious stories written by Cixin Liu over the last twenty years. If you liked that, you’ll find much to rejoice in in this collection, with the obvious caveat that the short story form is … Even though Cixin Liu is not the greatest storyteller of all times, his imagination and original ideas more than make up for it. Overall, this collection serves as a neat Liu Cixin starter kit filled with luscious tales that though may be peppered with high-minded SF thought experiments has enough pull in terms of plot and characterization to draw you to the next page and the next over and over, even for someone like me with just a pedestrian working knowledge of science. I really can't say enough about Liu Cixin. This book is too good for you.

Liu uses this premise to imagine how society would change if every human were motivated only to preserve the species on a generations-long perilous journey. The book is a series of stories some of which are inter-linked. Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2020. Buy it and read it, you will not be disappointed. It is almost as if Liu is bursting with incredibly big ideas but quickly gets bored writing about them - hence rushes through to get the story over and done with. Although I think the books are so inventive and the plots are good, I can’t do with long scientific description. I just saw the movie on Netflix .this it must be the best sci -fi movie ive seen. Plodding narration, preachy dialogues, way too much philosophising, very little action.
