by Jue Liu (Author)
It's a not-so-distant era, when people pay top dollar to freeze themselves and hope to wake up in a more prosperous and ecological decade. Two friends take different paths to the future--but only one will make peace with the present. In other stories, the human race rebels against alien overlords who ban flying on Earth; a lost traveler is trapped in a deserted monastery haunted by swallows; and two men fight to survive a literary epidemic...This speculative fiction anthology includes work by twelve established and up-and-coming young Chinese writers, translated into English for the first time--a ride into a wild fantasy world.
