The ebook had translation done by Holger Nahm which is the version that I read. Wandering Earth is a great short story, the kind of sci-fi that I admire the most. Hard SF is my favorite genre so I really enjoyed reading this story. It is predicted that the sun will be end up becoming a red giant and swallow Earth and other inner planets. So the government comes up with a plan to save humanity by making the earth “wander” using engines. The concept is so cool! Can’t wait to watch the movie adaptation.
Для взрослого образованного человека - слишком глупо с точки зрения элементарной физики и слишком наивно с точки зрения психологии.
Бонус только в том что я воспринял это скорее как черновики для действительно впечатляющей трилогии "Память о прошлом Земли".
Трилогия произвела на меня впечатление. В ней все та же наивность и глупости с точки зрения физики. Но там чисто китайский масштаб, который ошарашивает и впечатляет.
В этих рассказах и повестях встречаются в точности или по сути похожие сюжеты, позднее использованные автором в "Памяти о прошлом Земли"

The Wandering Earth by Cixin Liu--At times haunting and at others wry, Liu continues to capture the imagination. This book, featuring multiple short stories and one titular novella, focuses on the wonder of Earth, while properly setting the planet's place in the vastness of the universe. He considers the great foreignness of the unfamiliar by placing it in the context of what we know well, and does so skillfully, masterfully even, over and over again. It's nearly unimaginable that an author with such a (relatively) limited scope could continue to develop a sentence or two of ideas into evocative story after evocative story, but Liu succeeds. Two thumbs up.
