'Like Ursula K. Le Guin rewriting The Lord of the Flies for the quantum age' NPR
'Cixin Liu is the author of your next favourite sci-fi novel' WIRED
Eight years ago and eight light years away, a supermassive star died.
Tonight, a supernova tsunami of high energy will finally reach Earth. Dark skies will shine bright as a new star blooms in the heavens and within a year everyone over the age of thirteen will be dead, their chromosomes irreversibly damaged.
And so the countdown begins.
Parents apprentice their children and try to pass on the knowledge they'll need to keep the world running.
But the last generation may not want to carry the legacy of their parents' world. And though they imagine a better, brighter future, they may not be able to escape humanity's dark instincts...
Klantrecensies
Great start, later quite disappointing
I love another book of Cixin Liu (Of ants and dinosaurs) so I have this one a try. It starterd really great, but from the 50% I forced myself to read it till the end. I expected fireworks at the end, and got actually nothing - at a certain point I was like: what? This was the end? I barely noticed it. It was the author’s idea of an ending and he is in his right to do so, but to me I missed something that could tie all the knots and finish what was started.
