Cixin Liu's "Hold Up the Sky" is a collection of award-winning short stories that take readers on a breathtaking journey through time and space. Set in a rural mountain community, coal mines in northern China, a future where superstring computers predict our every move, and the collapse of the universe itself, these stories explore the limitless and pure joy of Cixin Liu's writing and imagination. Written between 1999 and 2017 and never before published in English, these stories came into being during decades of major change in China and will take you across time and space through the eyes of one of science fiction's most visionary writers. Praise for Cixin Liu includes: "Cixin's trilogy is SF in the grand style, a galaxy-spanning, ideas-rich narrative of invasion and war." (GUARDIAN) "Wildly imaginative, really interesting... The scope of it was immense." (BARACK OBAMA, 44th President of the United States) "A unique blend of scientific and philosophical speculation, politics and history, conspiracy theory and cosmology." (GEORGE R.R. MARTIN) "China's answer to Arthur C. Clarke." (NEW YORKER)
