Broken Stars: Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction in Translation by Ken Liu

4.0

I really enjoyed a lot of the stories in here - my favorites were Moonlight, The Robot Who Liked to Tell Tall Tales, and The Brain Box, but there were many that made me think, captured my imagination, or were simply amusing to read. I will say that a cursory knowledge of Chinese history helps a lot, and a reasonably thorough understanding of modern Chinese history helps more.

The only disappointing thing about this anthology is that I'd love to read more by these authors, but many of their stories don't have English translations!
