Review: Invisible Planets

Invisible Planets: Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction in Translation by Ken Liu (Editor & Translator)

Hard to find the original Chinese versions of the short stories in this book, so I’m left to read the translations.

I’m pretty impressed by the translations. Ken Liu does a great job of adapting it for the English language.

Many of the stories are distinctly Chinese in flavor and many are dystopian in nature. Slightly surprised at them being published in China.

Overall - recommend

The best ones for me are: The year of the rat The flower of shazui The city of silence Folding Beijing Taking care of god
