**From New York Times bestselling author Cixin Liu comes a short story
collection of captivating visions of the future and incredible
re-imaginings of the past.
**
In To Hold Up the Sky, Cixin Liu takes us across time and space, from
a rural mountain community where elementary students must use physicas
to prevent an alien invasion; to coal mines in northern China where new
technology will either save lives of unleash a fire that will burn for
centuries; to a time very much like our own, when superstring computers
predict our every move; to 10,000 years in the future, when humanity is
finally able to begin anew; to the very collapse of the universe itself.
Written between 1999 and 2017 and never before published in English,
these stories came into being during decades of major change in China
and will take you across time and space through the eyes of one of
science fiction's most visionary writers.
