Sinopse

The collected stories of Cixin Liu, international bestselling author of The Three-Body Problem. From cosmological horror to wry satire, from first contact to the end of everything, these 32 stories explore our place in the universe, pitting the vastness of space against the fragility of humanity. The scale of Liu’s imagination is immense, exploring both the infinite and the infinitesimal, the epic and the intimate.Here, machine intelligences create art or sow terror, humanity is annihilated or created anew, alien civilizations come bearing gifts, or they come in the cold logic of universal war. Solar systems are devoured, planets are turned into spaceships, and time is reversed. With a physicist’s mind and a philosopher’s heart, Liu takes us to the boundaries of the cosmos and consciousness...but that’s just where his imagination begins.
