Death's End

2021

by Cixin Liu, Ken Liu

Death's End, the third installment of the Remembrance of Earth's Past series, marks the thrilling conclusion to Cixin Liu's highly acclaimed near-future science fiction saga. This epic narrative, which has captured the imagination of readers worldwide, is soon to be adapted into a Netflix Original Series.

Set half a century after the Doomsday Battle, the story unfolds in a future where the principle of Dark Forest Deterrence has maintained a fragile peace, keeping the Trisolaran invaders at bay. The Earth basks in prosperity, enriched by Trisolaran knowledge, leading to rapid advancements in human science and a cultural exchange that suggests the two civilizations might finally coexist without the looming threat of annihilation.

However, this era of peace has rendered humanity complacent. Enter Cheng Xin, an aerospace engineer from the early 21st century, who emerges from hibernation into this newfound utopia. Her reawakening and the knowledge she carries of a long-forgotten program from the dawn of the Trisolar Crisis could destabilize the delicate equilibrium between Earth and the Trisolarans.

As the narrative explores the complexities of interstellar politics and the human condition, readers are left to wonder: Will humanity seize the opportunity to expand to the stars, or will it succumb to a premature end?

The Wise Man's Fear

"There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."

My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me. So begins a tale told from his own point of view—a story unequaled in fantasy literature. Now in The Wise Man's Fear, Day Two of The Kingkiller Chronicle, Kvothe takes his first steps on the path of the hero and learns how difficult life can be when a man becomes a legend in his own time.

Picking up the tale of Kvothe Kingkiller once again, we follow him into exile, into political intrigue, courtship, adventure, love, and magic... and further along the path that has turned Kvothe, the mightiest magician of his age, a legend in his own time, into Kote, the unassuming pub landlord.

The Wise Man's Fear is a sequel in every way the equal to its predecessor and a must-read for all fantasy fans. Engaging and gripping, it is the biggest and the best new fantasy novel out there.

Globalia

Globalia offers a daring political satire that dissects the mechanisms of oligarchic neoliberal democracy. Behind the bloody distinctions of nation and race, a universalizing democracy has been imposed in Globalia. Society now enjoys health and prosperity but is numbed in a consumptive paroxysm. Everyone speaks the same language, are radical environmentalists, neurasthenics, idle, and addicted to cosmetic surgery. To maintain cohesion, residents are kept in an unconscious self-absorption by the media and frightened by continuous terrorist attacks. As the terrorist attacks are diminishing, the Globalian authorities have decided to create a New Enemy to guarantee terror. This enemy will be an element of the system whose function is to cement its values even more... A humorous farce of contemporary society and an unflattering reflection of a probable future.
