Unclean Souls
15 hrs. 18 min.
Yang Wei comes to his senses and, with horror, realizes he’s still a patient. In the span of a single night, inexplicably, he’s aged by dozens of years and found himself in the geriatrics ward of a massive hospital ship drifting across a crimson sea teeming with loathsome creatures. But neither the remains of people nor the sea nymphs are as terrifying as what lies hidden in the depths of this vessel.
There are no doctors—along the corridors stretches an endless procession of med-bots, from which, of course, you can’t get clear explanations or help. Then Yang Wei, along with a handful of other patients who have suddenly aged the same way, decides to go down to the unknown decks, hoping to find answers to what’s happening.
But the further they go into the ship—toward its heart and the reason for their confinement—the more secrets surface, and each one gives birth to new mysteries. Yang Wei is certain of one thing: the more he learns, the more he becomes lost… and the less he wants to reach the truth.
“Unexpected plot twists and a disturbing, penetrating sense that something is wrong sweep you along and point you toward other postmodern classic texts.” — Booklist
“This book is very strange and truly distinctive… it won’t appeal to everyone, but those who enjoy challenges—absolutely will.” — Goodreads
“This is not just a futuristic thriller, but a philosophical conversation about technology, control, and human existence; the language and ideas create a space that’s recognizable already today, yet steeped in the anxiety of tomorrow.” — Jury of the Chinese award “Foggy Dimness”
“My science fiction is two-dimensional, while Han Sun’s is three-dimensional. If you imagine Chinese sci-fi as a pyramid, then two-dimensional would be its base, and Han Sun’s three-dimensional would be the peak.” — Liu Cixin
“The leading Chinese science-fiction writer.” — Los Angeles Times
