    Here are thirteen short stories from the new frontiers of Chinese science fiction, selected and translated by Hugo, Nebula, Locus and World Fantasy Award-winner Ken Liu. Hao Jingfang's Hugo-Award-Winning 'Folding Beijing' takes place in a near-future dystopia where the title city's buildings fold into and out of the earth, allowing three different strata of society to spend part of the day above ground. Xia Jia's 'Night Journey of the Dragon-Horse' describes a post-apocalyptic world where machines have outlived the humans who engineered them. In 'Taking Care of God' by Liu Cixin - author of The Three-Body Problem, the first translated novel to win the Hugo Award - a race of white-haired, white-robed beings arrive on Earth, claiming they are God, creators of everything who now want to spend their retirement years with us... Including an introduction by Ken Liu and three essays exploring Chinese science fiction, this is a phenomenal collection of strange worlds, hypnotic landscapes and unbridled imagination.

    Here are sixteen short stories from China's groundbreaking SFF writers, edited and translated by award-winning author Ken Liu. Including 'Moonlight' by Cixin Liu and 'The New Year Train' by Hao Jingfang - both Hugo award-winners - this anthology features stories firmly entrenched in subgenres familiar to Western SFF readers such as hard SF, cyberpunk, science fantasy, and space opera, while also including stories that showcase deeper ties to Chinese culture: alternative Chinese history, chuanyue time travel and satire with historical and contemporary allusions that are likely unfamiliar to Western readers. In addition, three essays explore the history and rise of Chinese SFF publishing, contemporary Chinese fandom, and how the growing interest in Chinese SFF has impacted writers who had long laboured in obscurity. By turns dazzling, melancholy and thought-provoking, Broken Stars celebrates the vibrancy and diversity of SFF voices emerging from China and transforming the Western literary landscape.

    Die besten Science-Fiction-Autoren aus China in einem Band Ein junger Mann wird dreimal in der Nacht angerufen – und jedes Mal ist er selbst am anderen Ende der Leitung. Genauer gesagt, sein zukünftiges Ich, und dreimal soll er die Welt vor der unausweichlichen Zerstörung retten. »Mondnacht« lautet der Titel dieser Kurzgeschichte von Cixin Liu, die der preisgekrönte Herausgeber und Übersetzer Ken Liu zusammen mit fünfzehn weiteren Erzählungen der besten Science-Fiction-Autoren Chinas in diesem Band versammelt hat. Manche sind bereits in der Literaturszene etabliert und international berühmt wie etwa Cixin Liu, Hao Jingfang und Han Song, manche gehören zur jungen, ehrgeizigen Generation wie Qiufan Chen und Xia Jia, und andere wiederum sind in der wachsenden Zunft der Geisteswissenschaftler verwurzelt, zum Beispiel Regina Kanyu Wang und Fei Dao. Sie alle entwickeln in ihren Erzählungen einen kritischen, von der Gegenwartskultur geprägten Blick auf China, und manche Texte konnten erst in der Übersetzung überhaupt veröffentlicht werden. Abgerundet wird dieser Sammelband durch drei Essays, die das Phänomen der chinesischen Science-Fiction ausführlich beleuchten und verständlich machen.
