Phew! It took me awhile to finish this short story collection of Chinese SF but I'm glad I took my time with it. For those who don't really read SF like me, you'll find some of the stories a bit hard to follow as it can be quite dense in regards to science terms and information. Other than that, I really enjoyed some of the stories in here and even marked my favourites down at the content page!
It's definitely a great collection for those who are looking to start reading Chinese SF or just wanting to read more diversely when it comes to SF.
Favourites:
- Goodnight, Melancholy by Xia Jia
- What Has Passed Shall in Kinder Light Appear by Baoshu
- The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: Laba Porridge by Anna Wu
- A History of Future Illnesses by Chen Qiufan
- (ESSAY) Science Fiction: Embarrassing No More by Fei Dao
