The "Great Dreamer" sci-fi classic series includes four works: "Fall of Civilization," "The Space War," "The Lover’s Farewell," and "The Whale Rider." Since Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem" won the Hugo Award and the domestic sci-fi film "The Wandering Earth" gained popularity, Chinese sci-fi literature, once quiet, has entered a vibrant and flourishing era. Many works have been included in language textbooks and frequently appear in middle and high school language exams. Chen Qiufan, Zhang Ran, Bao Shu, and AQue, four visionary young sci-fi writers, are recognized as leaders of China's sci-fi golden generation. Their works differ from the historical context and knowledge systems of Wang Jinkang and Liu Cixin, offering more innovative and imaginative insights that cater to the tastes of new-generation readers. "Song of Earth" is a collection of sci-fi works characterized by Bao Shu's space epic, featuring ten captivating stories: "Ancient Song of Earth," "Amnesty Experiment," "Flowing Years," "Forget-Me-Not," "Flirting," "Master Zhao," "Ghost Trio," "Spring Story," "Ba Lin," and "Still in the Mirror." These stories depict millennia-long interstellar journeys, where people, confined in the narrow environment of a spaceship for generations, maintain their faith to preserve their will.

An anthology of visionary new stories from Chinese and English-language writers, featuring three Hugo Award-nominated tales. If you love the mission of science fiction, the exchange between cultures, and the hopeful trajectory of technology and ideas, this collection is for you. An impressive joint project, this outstanding new anthology brings the best of Chinese and English-language science fiction in a mediation on the theme of Exploration in Space. New, emerging, established and much-lauded writers from both cultures are brought together to demonstrate that technology and humanity when they work together bring challenges, joy and benefits to all of humankind. From Bao Shu comes 'A Trip to the End', from Allen Stroud 'The First', from He Xi 'Never Meet Again in Life', from Amdi Silvestri 'A Minuet of Corpses' and under the guiding eye of Patrick Parrinder (President of the H.G. Wells society) and Yao Haijun (celebrated editor of Science Fiction World in China) thirteen authors create a series of worlds which will enthral and entertain. Nominated for 3 Hugo Awards.

Short novels are movie length narratives that may well be the perfect length for science fiction stories. This unabridged collection presents the best-of-the-best science fiction novellas published in 2015 by current and emerging masters of this vibrant form of story-telling. In “The Citadel of Weeping Pearls,” by Aliette de Bodard, set in the author’s Dai Viet interstellar empire, an Empress orders her scientific Grand Master to search deepest space and track down the missing Citadel, along with its technologies, to help defend against enemies amassing on her borders. In “The New Mother,” by Eugene Fischer, a freelance journalist pursues the career-making opportunity to write a feature article for a major publication following a contagion that turns human ova diploid, capable of parthenogenesis—reproduction without the need for sperm. In “Inhuman Garbage,” by Kristine Kathryn Rusch, set in the author’s popular Retrieval Artist series, a detective investigates the murder of a body found in a recycling/composting waste disposal crate in a dome on the moon. In “Gypsy,” by Carter Scholz, a meticulously rendered, slower-than-light, starship flees a totalitarian Earth on a mission whose outcome is not a clear-cut success or failure. Finally, in “What Has Passed Shall in Kinder Light Appear,” by Bao Shu, Xie Baosheng and his lifelong love, Qiqi, are small children as the countdown to the 2008 Beijing Olympics has begun. Their lives in China are prosperous but then history starts to run backwards.

Sokakban felmerülhetett a kérdés Cixin Liu világhíres Háromtest-trilógiájának olvasását követően: de vajon hogyan történt az első ember (egészen pontosan annak agya) és a Trisolaris földönkívüli civilizáció találkozása? „Messze az Ezerdimenziós Palota felett, az űr sötétjében megnyílt egy ajtó, amelyet halvány fény négyszöge vett körül. A nyílásban megjelent az angyal, aki halált hozott az anyabolygóra. Csak sodródott az űrben, mintha nem is hatna rá a gravitáció. Némán, kifejezéstelenül figyelte, hogyan válik alatta a bolygó lángoló pokollá. Nem volt büszke tettére, de bűntudat sem gyötörte. Egykor e világ egy hírnöke pusztította el az ő anyabolygóját, most pedig visszaadta a kölcsönt. Ez így korrekt. Nem bosszú, csupán - a végzet.” „Arra kéne koncentrálnunk, hogy megelőzzük a kozmosz maradékának két dimenzióba hullását, aztán pedig újraindítsuk az órát, hogy minden kezdődhessen elölről. Ezzel nemcsak az emberi fajnak tartozunk, hanem minden életnek az univerzumban. - Megértem. De szerintem akkor is el kéne mennünk Provence-be. Hamarosan nyílik a levendula. Velem jössz? - Hát persze - mosolyodott el Tianming.”
