Game of Thrones adaptors Benioff and Weiss bring their uncanny knack for writing powerful beginnings, complex middles, and satisfying endings to the globally successful science fiction series, The Three-Body Problem. Written by Liu Cixin, the book is the first to A Remembrance of the World’s Past trilogy. Although the series is now the most popular science fiction series from China, Cixin’s work is the highlight. Here is more from Xia Jia on Tor:
After the lull brought about by the Cultural Revolution, the desire to build a modern nation state came to power in 1978. Ye Yonglie’s A Little Intelligence Roams the Future (published in August 1978), a slim volume filled with captivating visions of a future city seen through the eyes of a child, heralded a new wave of science fiction in China with its first print run of a million copies 1.5. Ironically, as China modernized with the reforms of the Deng Xiaoping era, these enthusiastic dreams of the future gradually disappeared from Chinese science fiction. Readers and writers seemed to be drifting away from romantic, optimistic views and back to reality.
In 1987, Ye Yonglie published a short story called “Cold Dream at Dawn.” On a cold winter night in Shanghai, the protagonist has trouble sleeping in his unheated house. A series of science fiction dreams fill his mind: global warming, artificial solar radiation, “bringing back the North and South Poles,” and even “coating Shanghai with a blanket of hot glass.” .” However, reality intervenes in the form of concerns about whether the proposed projects will be accepted, how to obtain the necessary equipment and power, possible international conflicts, etc.-another perspective and the other ends up being dismissed as impossible. “A thousand miles separate lovers called Reality and Fantasy!” The distance and gap, one surmises, reflects the anxiety and discomfort as the Chinese wake up from the nightmare of Communism.
