A VIEW FROM THE STARS - CIXIN LIU GEBUNDEN

"We're mysterious aliens in the crowd. We jump like fleas from future to past and back again 
and float like clouds of gas between nebulae  in a flash  we can reach the edge of the universe
or tunnel into a quark  or swim within a star-core. . . . We're as unassuming as fireflies  yet
our numbers grow like grass in spring. We sci-fi fans are people from the future."-Cixin Liu 
from the essay "Sci-Fi Fans"    A VIEW FROM THE STARS features a range of short works from the
past three decades of New York Times bestselling author Cixin Liu's prolific career  putting
his nonfiction essays and short stories side-by-side for the first time. This collection
includes essays and interviews that shed light on Liu's experiences as a reader  writer  and
lover of science fiction throughout his life  as well as short fiction that gives glimpses into
the evolution of his imaginative voice over the years.    "Science fiction without guile 
without snark  without ironic disaffection and all its exhausting modern baggage. It just asks
what would happen? Waits for someone to answer. And then it asks again."-NPR on the works of
Cixin Liu
