A note for parents

This is a collection of short fiction and essays by the acclaimed author of Three-Body Problem, spanning three decades of his work. The pieces are intellectually challenging and explore philosophical and scientific themes; while not graphically violent, some stories contain dystopian or unsettling scenarios typical of hard science fiction. The essays offer insight into Liu's creative process and his thoughts on science fiction as a genre, making it more suitable for mature teen readers and adults interested in literary science fiction.
