    • Broken Stars, edited by Ken Liu, is his second anthology of Chinese short speculative fiction, following Invisible Planets. This collection is the most comprehensive yet available in English, showcasing a thrilling array of stories that reflect the burgeoning interest in Chinese science fiction. It features both well-known authors like Liu Cixin and Hao Jingfang, as well as those making their English-language debut. Most stories were originally published in Chinese during the 2010s and range from short-shorts to novellas, evoking a wide emotional spectrum. The anthology includes familiar subgenres such as hard SF, cyberpunk, and space opera, while also delving into narratives deeply rooted in Chinese culture, including alternate histories and time travel. It does not claim to be "representative" or "comprehensive," but it highlights the vibrancy and diversity of contemporary Chinese science fiction. Additionally, three essays at the end explore the history of Chinese science fiction publishing, the current state of fandom, and the impact of growing interest in the genre on previously obscure writers. This collection promises to captivate readers eager to explore the richness of Chinese speculative fiction.

      "El problema de los tres cuerpos" es la primera novela no escrita originariamente en inglés galardonada con el premio Hugo, el Nobel del género de la ciencia ficción. Su autor, Cixin Liu, ha sido considerado el gran descubrimiento del género y es capaz de vender cuatro millones de ejemplares solamente en China y de hacerse con prescriptores de la talla de Barack Obama, quien seleccionó "El problema de los tres cuerpos" como una de sus lecturas navideñas de 2015, y Mark Zuckerberg, que lo convirtió en la primera novela de su club de lectura. El público y la crítica de los cinco continentes se rinden ante esta obra maestra, enormemente visionaria, sobre el papel de la ciencia en nuestras sociedades, que nos ayuda a comprender el pasado y el futuro de China, pero también, leída en clave geopolítica, del mundo en que vivimos.
