In the anthology “Broken Stars,” you’ll find works in the style of “hard” science fiction, cyberpunk, and space opera, as well as genres with deeper connections to Chinese culture: alternative Chinese history, time travel zhuan’yue, satire with historical and contemporary allusions. In addition, three essays are included, devoted to the history of science fiction and fantasy in China. This collection offers a unique, unmistakable cultural flavor that permeates the works of Chinese authors.
